Autopia guide

**Bunky** · 10-22-2011, 05:19 AM

Until 4 years ago, David B. has self-executable detail guide on many aspects of detailing. I thought it was a nice self-contained ebook on detailing (washing, waxes, etc). I wonder if that would be a good "container" for all your how to articles.

Well, Al, that would probably be fine... IF this were Autopia. This isn`t David B.`s Autopia, this is the Detail City forum (now conglomerated with PAC`s Truth-in-Detailing forum), branded as AutopiaForums by PBMG after obtaining rights to the Autopia-Carcare e-Store (which was a separate entity from the original Autopia forum that still exists under the ownership of 3D Products).

And now my brain hurts.

In all seriousness though, I think that self-executable distribution format`s time has passed, like Betamax and Laser Discs...

I am just saying that Todd`s articles could be organized into one container.

If you want something modern, how about something you can only view on an iphone or sent in 3000 tweets.

Al, I do think that`s what Todd has been working on and maybe can make a guide for all to read.

Oh yeah, I agree with you on that -- maybe even just an index thread like Mike Phillips uses over on AGO.

DavidB did sell his ebook through autopia-carcare.

I wonder who owns guidetodetailing.com.

The original autopia guide evolved into a online guide that was apparently sponsored by links to products being sold by Autopia Car Care. The above website still exists with earlier autopia look that AF has adopted and continues to reference ACC brands like SONUS.

Thinkin` it`s got to be David B. or at least it has his material on the site.

David Bynon.

**Rocket** · 10-23-2011, 02:48 PM

I haven`t looked but is that the one set up in blog format?

**GearHead_1** · 10-23-2011, 03:29 PM

Not really a blog, just a site with well organized information, product recommendations and links to advertised products.

I guess he did not sell that...makes money off the clinks on links.

I think he sold it already to someone else.

I have considered doing something similar. The original "Perfect Shine: Guide to Detailing" from my understanding was written by David Bynon to help sell Sonus products (his brand) through his store (Autopia-CarCare).

It would make sense to do an update of the concept, thanks for the suggestion guys!

guidetodetailing looks like david b is using key word whoring to make a buck. still trying to milk the autopia "teet" by launching an autopiacarcover site. (not hyperlinking to avoid any violations)
