I check the forum BID (twice daily). I have learned more from this forum in the past few months than I did on my own the last year and a half. I do think it is odd, though, how much I actually enjoy detailing cars. Last week I did a full exterior detail on my receptionist's Honda Accord. I washed, clayed, DACP'd, then P21 paint cleaner, then AIO and finally SG. Her comment was "this has more shine than when it was brand new 8 years ago."
What I like about detailing is that even if it doesn't work out perfectly, it is always an improvement from where I start. And uniike my sports "obsessions", I don't lose when I detail a car. And there are never ending products and improvemtns in techniques to consider so boredom is not an issue. Thanks to everyone on this board for your help in this obsessive hobby of mine.
