Charlotte area guys speak up

**Mopar** · 07-28-2008, 02:41 PM

I am in Mooresville.

Figured I would get an idea of who is around here. I am a "Detailer" at a stealership, and I am trying to actually learn to detail. I am tired of getting crap when I take my time on a car, or try new techniques.

anyway, stop in here and say hi

**BigAl3** · 07-28-2008, 03:43 PM

:welcome ! lots of top notch detailers and info on here...

**imported_sal329** · 07-28-2008, 04:51 PM

Welcome I am in Rock Hill. I do not detail professionally though

I am in Charlotte. I am more than willing to work on a car sometime with you if you want. Feel free to PM me.

Statesville here, so just north of you. :wavey Drop me a PM sometime.

Not a professional detailer . Not sure, I am up to amateur status either. LOL I have just recently caught the bug (when I got a new car last fall) and have mainly been learning, practicing, and trying not to do more damage than good...

**Mopar** · 07-30-2008, 03:46 PM

Ha, its ok man you have to start somewhere. I am learning myself.

Nice color choice on the Mustang! Any mods?

**08StangGT** · 08-02-2008, 09:55 PM

Thanks! I did not want to wait on the Bullitt "Hunter Green" and already had one black car, so that left red... I liked the darker metallic red better than the bright red. (And my Ranger is bright red so at least a LITTLE variety in colors. LOL)

No mods yet. I did order side scoops and had them painted to match when I bought the Mistang. Bascially I am mainly planning appearance modifications. It came with all the power I need... LOL Maybe a cold air intake one day... :getdown

A guy I work with has a nice one

70 FlashBack: 2006 Mustang GT - Mooresville, North Carolina

He does a lot of stuff with all the mustang clubs.

**08StangGT** · 08-09-2008, 02:24 PM

That is nice! Not into the car shows though as I drive it too much. LOL Would like to go to some of them to see his car though... Maybe get some pointers...

I`m from Charlotte. I`m getting ready to try my own full detail over a few days on labor day weekend.

Here`s what I`m working on:

with standard 19s - a set on Flickr

I plan on taking plenty of pictures (before, during, after) and document each step as I go.

This is my first time doing the full work up and I`m using a portal cable orbital buffer. I`ll get to a rotary one day (baby steps...).

Anyway, if anyone is interested in coming by to check it out, have a beer, and give some advice... shoot me a PM. I will try to wash/clay Friday, polish1/polish2/KAI Saturday, wax1/wax2 on Sunday.

**Mopar** · 08-12-2008, 06:26 PM

I need to test drive it to make sure its safe to use the PC on!

Nice M, let me know if you ever need anythin for it

There are a bunch of car people meeting up Sunday mornings in Charlotte.

Just in case you haven`t heard about it:

Idea: Weekly GTG - Cars and Coffee - Charlotte Edition - Carolina Euros

I am busy the next few weekends (detailing my car), but I think I will be out there Sunday September 7th. There`s a small chance I could make it out labor day weekend, but that`s when I`m doing the bulk of the work on my car.

Man whoever installed those Halo rings did a bangup job. Top notch! It`s a shame this car isn`t Imola Red....I hear they`re much quicker.

Car //M3 = new Car();

if(//M3.color == "Imola Red" && //M3.smg == false)

{

MessageBox.Show("Cushdrive`s car is faster than Quixotic`s");

}
