Not a professional here... just a simple TDI driver who used to lurk on TID and is obsessed with keeping it nice and shiney. I learned a ton while lurking on TID. Use Klasse AIO with Black Fire Midnight Sun on top. I just put a third coat of the BFMS on her this past weekend (one coat a week for the past three weeks over the original coat of Klasse AIO) and it has really built up a beautiful depth. Learned about that process on TID and bought the kit. So easy, fast, and gorgeous results. Have learned a ton there and here! So glad you`ve all done the hard part of learning by trial and error and made it easy for us newbs!
My family thinks I`ve gone off the deep end with the amount of attention to this car... but I figure it`s a lot easier to keep up with the maintenance of the paint than have to repair neglected paint in the future!

Maintenance is easier, that`s for sure. Welcome to the forum.

Re: My Family Thinks I`m Nuts!
Oh yeah. I forgot to note. My entire family thinks I`m nuts too. My dad constantly is yelling at me not to buy anymore. I just can`t help it. He also tells me that my car is TOO clean.

Re: My Family Thinks I`m Nuts!
We all go a little mad sometimes.
Sometimes I think I could save a lot of money by simply doing drugs.

Re: My Family Thinks I`m Nuts!
I guess I fit in that category too. Spent 5 hours on my car last Saturday and my family said, "It didn`t need it". Well maybe I did. It`s Zen time for me.
Welcome to the forum. I also love the AIO topped with Blackfire.

Re: My Family Thinks I`m Nuts!
I agree. Detailing is a peaceful-relaxing time to get away from people.

Re: My Family Thinks I`m Nuts!
My wife tells others that the only bad habit I have always produces good results. She`s referring to the detailed cleanliness of our cars.
I`d rather be making improvements in the cars than sitting around the TV, the bar scene or just being lazy.

Re: My Family Thinks I`m Nuts!
Welcome to autopiaFORUMS! It`s great to have you here! My family also thinks I`m nuts, but car detailing is a rather relaxing passion and there are PLENTY of things that are FAR worse for you. Thanks for joining and please let myself or any moderator know if there is anything I we can do for you!
