Tyler I can't wait to see the final product! I'm going to be doing something very similar soon on my Dad's car while it goes under the knife. Watching this thread is giving me motivation! lol

looks like a alot of tape sticking out over them edges buddy lol did you visit martin wright on that 1300 mile trip to florida!!!
 
^ lmao. and people wonder how Infantrymen get a rep as being cut-throat ;)



looks like we're going to see a lot of his threads coming back to bite him.



oh well. "the truth shall set you free".....but maybe more like "the truth hurts" in this case. i suppose it goes to prove how much it takes to reach the more elite sides of detailing.

Also shows that buying some nice trendy products and having good photography/photo-touch-up skills will never take the place of true experience, product knowledge, technique, passion, and research. It also shows what it takes to build a true and tried rep in the world of complete auto care as one of the true elite.



As a start-up guy trying to learn and use the knowledge of others to better myself and skills in this art, I have only grown to appreciate the vast knowledge, experience, and dedication of those who have taken this profession to the next level. Hopefully this will be a reminder to others that while you can try - you can not truly duplicate the experience nor knoweldge that sets the "pros" apart from all others, and if you try, you may get away with it once. maybe twice. maybe even for a long time - but in the end the truth will come out, and while lesser experienced individuals will surely work hard to do a good job, and while we all need help at some point or another, if you're a fraud you will be exposed, isolated, and ostracized. There seems to be a warm welcome in the community of detailing for new-comers as we all share the love for automobiles and care for them. There will never be enough room for frauds that conduct malicious activity.

Enough, people!



Please read the rules about personal attacks.



What one person does or does not do does not forgive or dismiss the rules. I will not allow a single event to turn Autopia.org into a feeding frenzy.



If you don't have something nice to say...
