So, let me see if I can get this straight… Because, I posted an article here on Autopia I found interesting, informative, and written by somebody else… that makes me a plagiarist… Very interesting. I’ve been accused of a great many things in life but stealing somebody else written work is something I’ve never been guilty of.
My friend Jeff told me that I would enjoy joining the Autopia.org community and meeting fellow detailers and auto enthusiasts, but boy, I got to tell ya…
So far I’ve been accused of plagiarism, having a cheesy website, (I’m new at html) being a Spammer, having a lack of tact and integrity, (That one hurts having spent 8 years in the Marine Corps) and manufacturing a lousy car wax product… and I’ve only been here a week! LOL
I know us car nuts are a tough breed but, boy… you guys are a tough crowd.
My family has been in the car wash and detailing business since 1970. I owned a car wash in Winthrop, MA about six years ago. The garage we were using for detailing was only a two bay so in the summertime months when we were busy with customers, the majority of the cars had to be done outside in the sun.
It was very difficult for us to find a good quality cleaner/wax that we could use in the direct sunlight. You name the product and chances are we’ve used it. We were trying everything we could find but were having no luck with it in the sun.
So, what I did was I got in touch with a chemical engineer and told him about the problem I was having with using product in the direct sunlight. Basically, to make a long story short, I told him what I was looking for in the performance of a product and after seven and a half months of trial and error we came up with, what I call Hot Body Wax. It’s the first patented car wax that is designed so it can be used in direct sunlight. Well, the patent is still pending at this point but we’re confident that one will be awarded before the end of this year.
Anyway… That’s my story. I thought I would come here and try to make some new friends. Especially, ones who share the same enthusiasm on auto appearance and car care.
I would love to send you guys a bottle for you to try on your personal vehicles and, if you’re in business, on your customers cars. Forward your mailing address to my inbox and I’ll send one right out.
Nice to meet you folks ; )
