Hello everyone. I just thought I`d introduce myself. I`ve known about this site for several years now and lurked on and off. I never really took the time to really understand the detailing process until the last couple of days. Initially I was overwhelmed with the different types of polishes, waxes, cleaners etc. To top it off I never really understood the differences between the different types of polishers. I was always under the impression that they were only used by prefessionals and beginners like myself can damage/burn the cars paint. Boy was I wrong........

For a while I was out of the car seen until recently I picked up a 1994 MR2 Turbo. I was quickly reminded about this site by the good folks over at MR2oc. For the last 3 days I`ve been reading different topics just to expand my knowledge on detailing. I`m sure I haven`t even tapped the surface but I have a basic idea of what I want for a "beginner kit" I will more than likely purchase a FLEX along with the various LC CCS pads. As for polishes and wax I`m still doing research

I`m sure it boils down to preference.

In the past I`ve always done everything by hand and I can`t wait to start using an actual polisher. Well thats about it for now.

:welcome Knowledge is power!! I was really intimidated at first, but now I`m getting pretty good with my random orbital and someday I may make the jump to a rotary, but until then I`ll just keep reading and learning.
