    Detailing cars is subjective. Put four detailers in a room and you will get eight opinions. But if you want to ban all the DIY folks, I don`t know. I`d probably have to find a different forum.

    You know you don`t HAVE to click the links......



    If you were here really looking to learn than you would know that the C&Bs can teach you a lot. I`ve learned new techniques, what product combinations work on which paint, which look certain products give, etc.

    I understand where you`re coming from and I sometimes find it annoying too, especially since most of them seem to be pics of every other corvette or European make, but like some of the other folks said: you don`t have to look at them. Just bookmark the Forums page instead of the Home page. And yes, sometimes I do look at some C & B`s, but only if they have before pics.

    I personally find the C&B`s to be very educational, as in they typically demonstrate what level of improvement (paint correction, stain removal, etc.) can be achieved with what products and processes.



    How often do the C&B`s include such comments as "that`s exactly the type of finish I`m looking for on my tires....what product did you use?". Or "I`ve gotten this defect better, but any ideas on how to bring it to the next level?" etc, etc. If that`s not learning and conversing, what is?



    The C&Bs are a great way to share and learn in my opinion. To each his own I suppose.

    Until I came across this thread I had forgot there was a front page. From the moment I joined this forum I book marked(not on purpose) the forums page. I get most of my good info and tips and methods from the C&B`s. For instance, I was reading one about Scottwax and how he was using a Meg`s ROB. I`ve always used a cyclo or a rotary, and always thought I could achieve more correction with a PC type machine, but never pulled the trigger. The next day I ordered one with all the LC pads I needed and I`ve never been happier. The machine`s amazing with the 105/205 combo. I love watching the process of major correction and what guys are using. I sometimes get stuck and will remember how someone else did it, and it helps tremendously with my business. If the C&B`s weren`t on here, I would probably spend alot less time on this site. That`s just my opinion though.

    Same, I just have it bookmarked at forums.



    While I don`t check out the C&B section very often, I also find the 100+ picture posts a bit excessive, it is one of Autopia`s main features.
