Not knowing where to place or even how to begin this thread topic is difficult enough.
First, it had been awhile since I have posted anything. Not because I have nothing to say, (What?! Captain Obvious being quiet and not saying something), it has become painfully obvious (no pun intended) that this forum and the topics posted are a shell of the past. We have discussed this ad nauseam (meaning exactly what it says, 'till we puked!) and I will not beat on or resurrect past discussion topics on this as to what and why.
My ever advancing age and ensuing slight, but steady, decline in physical abilities have precluded me from pursuing and enjoying vehicle detailing to the degree I have in the past. I am sure many of you can relate and the fact that this forum has seen the pasting on (AKA, death) of many of its longtime contributing members whom I deemed detailing All-Starts who have been instrumental in my detailing hobby is indeed sobering and sorrowful at the same time.
I say this because most of you members and occasional lurkers who will be reading this KNOW how passionate I have been and still am passionate about keeping this forum alive and viable as a source of detailing information and help.
No, I am not going anywhere. I still plan on being here, checking "New Post" and asking my ever ubiquitous Captain Obvious questions. But that's the problem; they are becoming fewer and far between and my experience and expertise is, well, old and dated, to the point I dare say, no longer relevant or new. In my younger day, I hated rehashing old detailing information and methodologies by those "seasoned detailing veterans" who's experience was just that; old! And now I find myself at that EXACT SAME point in my life.
So forgive me if I say," I remember when" in starting out a post response or look back at detailing products that are not relevant or new.
In my defense I will say this, however: Sometimes old school can still get it done (just not as fast)!
