Old School Autopian Check In !!!

[imported_dfazekas]

Hey! I make that cut off date. I lurked like crazy before I joined too. Really like this place.

[Bill D]

I always check in with the greatest detailing site on earth at some point.



I was a moderator in the old days. My autopia banner hangs proudly on my garage wall.

06 here. Love this place.

Wow time flies - I joined in 2005 after lurking for a couple of months.

[bridgersmith]

I joined in 2009 because I wasn`t happy with my detailing performance. I`ve learned so much from this forum and I`m greatful. Now my skill level is beyond what I could have imagined and my knowledge has built my confidence when talking to my customers. Thank you Autopia!

Old School (pre-2010) Autopians Check In!!!



For anyone that’s been on the board for a while it would be awesome to just have you say hi to let us know you still browse the forum. Let’s say anything prior to a join date of 2010. The 100th person will receive an Autopia short sleeve T-Shirt. (shipped free within the US)

Feel free to post a comment or 2 about how you found out about the forum and any memories from back in the day you’d like to share.



If I notice someone lurking and not posting :silenced: I’m going to call you out so you better start :typing:

I think I qualify I remember the MF revolution, CD test threads. I remember ordering from PakShak in 2003 and thinking I couldn`t believe I just spent that much on MFs --- but I have those towels still today and they still work beautifully.

Brings back good memories - Quality vendors back then were PakShak, Excel Detail, Danase. Klasse AIO was always applied before any LSP....



I remember the big questions were:

1) S100 / P21S - Same thing???

2) Which do you prefer? S100/P21S, #16, Blitz, Platinum UPP, Souveran, or Zaino

3) Are these new microfiber towels comparable to the DF Concours Towel?

4) Menzerna IP/FP or Meg`s #83/#80



Things were so simple back then...

[scottabir]

been 9 yrs already? of course i havent been active for 5 or 6 yrs lol.

[SVR]

G`day all. long time although had a few years away after being banned for a reason I just dont understand but then having the ban lifted

Gotta say though - still a good forum but it`s just not the same as it once was. too commercial

[imported_DieselMDX]

o the good ol days...............

[Woob]

Here since Nov 2003, started reading probably in 2001.



I remember the days of Zaino, 106/SIP, the lust for the best Carnauba. Things change, for the better.

[bill57]

I lurked and read for a year or two before I officially joined. Still read a few times a week. Maybe less, for a while.

[EBPcivicsi]

Hi everyone! I still check in from time to time.

[Accumulator]

Hey, Joe! :wavey Hope all is well with you.

[VroooomCrash]

...Quality vendors back then were PakShak...

I still like PakShak as they are the only one who carries Wolf`s, CG, and Optimum in a one stop shop -- not to mention I am finally getting around to renewing my MFs that I got from Ranny 10 years ago...
