I`ve been a compulsive collector of cars and car care products since the late fifties, have always detailed and maintained my own vehicles. But I`m definitely an amateur detailer, always looking for something better.
My current cars span the same the same years, ranging from mid-fifties original enamel finishes to the Carbon Steel Gray metallic of my Mk6 GTI, along with a few generations of clear coat finishes in between. Back in the fifties, the original two-stage Blue Coral Treatment was followed by the "new" cleaner-waxes like J-Wax and Simonize Vista. In the past decade, Menzerna and Blackfire have dominated my shelf. But a small black bottle of Meguiar`s Competition Finish from the early seventies recently turned up in a dark corner.
I`ve been learning for over fifty years, definitely have lots more to learn here.
