Might need a translator.
Hey, gang.
After writing up a goofy estimate for a detail job that will never happen for a buddy here at work that got him a check for $300 from the grocery chain that employed the high school kid who pushed a row of shopping carts into his fender right in front of him, I got to thinking about how much I have always loved that feeling you get when you step back from a car you just spent a couple hours detailing, how it might be a neat idea to look into doing this part time on the weekends to make some extra cash, and how this has to be one of, if not the longest run on sentences in the history of the English language.
Anyways, the name's Brian and I hail from sunny Phoenix, Arizona, where I go to DeVry to be some kind of overpaid technical manager who will promptly be laid off from any decent position. I'm up to my eyeballs in DSMs (the Eagle Talon/Mitsubishi Eclipse twins) for about nine years now and I just can't get enough cars. I like the idea of working for myself, where you can directly see the benefits of extra effort and building a reputation.
Blah blah blah. I plan on doing quite a bit of reading before I have a great deal of questions, as I know there is much that I don't know, despite being pretty good at shining up my own ride.
Speaking of my "ride," here's a link to her first bath after seven months of downtime waiting for custom pistons to show up. (That's "Loser Stadium," where the Cardinals will be playing, in the back ground. Pictures are from back in April of last year.) The Talon is "Daisy," and she's something of a track slut in progress. The paint is fading on driver's rear quarter body work and she's since been hit in the other rear quarter by an inattentive woman in a lifted GMC, but otherwise she's pretty clean for being nine years/180,000 miles old.
Looking forward to learning a lot and taking my game to the next level.
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

Still, I think I'm in the right place. I was just thinking, maybe I should mention my "aresenal" for cleaning up Daisy in the interest of seeing what the experts think?
