New here from Colorado. The name is TJ.

I am just getting into to detailing. When it comes to polishing it has always scared me that i would ruin the paint.

However after attending a detail clinic at a local Detail shop i have decided to give it a chance.

I drive a 2006 GTO that is in great need of a full detail.

I hope to learn a lot here, looks like you all have a great site going here.

Dark Metallic Red.

As for a practice car, i have my sisters Mazda

I would practice on the wifes car but it is white and i have heard with white cars it is hard to see what you are doing.

Nice choice, I`ve heard the same about white.

I bet your GTO is a cop magnet!

Its not so much the color that attracts the cops.

Its the 15% tint, flowmaster exhaust with long tube headers and monster cam that seem to get the cops attention
