    Hello from Boston

    Hi all---name`s Mark. Thought I`d check in and introduce myself. Born/bred in Boston. Product of Catholic and public schools, so if I act a bit schizoid from time to time, you`ll know why. Always been somewhat of a closet neat freak when it comes to cleaning/detailing my cars and a few motorcycles over the years. Been looking for a site devoted to detailing, so when I found Autopia, I knew I was at the right place. Just purchased a new-to-me 2014.5 Camry wrapped in Dark Steel Mica paint with 3K on the odo. Very happy with it. Always been a fan of Toyotas. But todays OEM paints...you even look at them and they scratch, they seem so "soft" compared to paints from back in the day. I took the attached pic last week in Duxbury, MA. People say it looks black until the sun hits it and the bluish tint shows itself.



    Pretty slick. Anyway, that`s about it for now. Looking forward to hanging out here and sharing info and experience; which, from what I`ve read here so far, makes me a newb with a steep learning curve, lol.

    Note: The watermark name I came up with...if you`re from the Boston area, use of the term "wicked" is mandatory.

    you guessed the locale correctly...it`s on Washington st...my brother is neighbors with the people in the house in the background. luckily, I was able to park in my brothers yard, lol. and yeah, there are some incredible houses in that area. I was there for the 4th of July parade which passes right by his house. Got a lot of pics of antique/classic cars as they passed by. Nevah mind the red sox this summah... Free Brady. lol
