Hey guys, figured i would set up an account on this site instead of just lurking around all of the threads.



Anyways, im 19 (going to be 20 in May) and i drive a 2005 Victory Red Cobalt LS Coupe (A/T) with about 44,000 on it. Yea i know its nothing really that special, but im trying to make the most of what i have and i definately do take a lot of pride in taking care of it and maintaining it.



I thought i was somewhat familiar with detailing a car until i started to read up on this site a few days ago. I now starting to see that there is A LOT of small details and A LOT of different minor things that go into producing the perfect detail job. I'm looking forward to reading up a lot on this site and getting to learn the RIGHT VS. WRONG way to do things.



Heres a quick picture i just took this morning of what im working with. (There was a little bit of frost on the car)

Welcome - fellow Michigander from Macomb, MI



You'll find a ton of information here. The "search" function is your best friend. Lots of stuff - enjoy the journey!
 
its good to see there are a few of you guys in michingan and even a few of you who are close to me. if i ever need help or advice, ill be sure to send you guys a message.



and thanks for the welcomes. i cant wait till it finally gets nice outside so i can detail my car!!!
 
Welcome from West Michigan! You're doing great, when I was 20 my car was a rust bucket! Detailing was not the #1 priority. Look around the forum and you'll keep your ride looking great.
 
Another welcome from another W MI'agander!



One suggestion, when and if you are looking for products, Danase is a top notch seller. Not to mention, since both parties are in MI, shipping is QUICK and cheap. Quick as in a day or two MAX.

yea most of my friends make fun of me since i spend so much time cleaning and maintaining my car, but some ppl just dont understand. i guess its a car guy thing. lol



its all worth it though when someone says "wow your car is so clean" when they see you getting out of your car or into your car.

I haven't been to the Dream Cruise in about 4 years. I'd like to go this year though.



You ever go to the Crusin' Downriver cruise?

I have gone the year before last only once though. I make down to Telegraph cruise as well.

I've never been to the Tele Cruise. I like the Downriver Cruise because it is two blocks from my house and it isn't as crowded as the Dream Cruise. The Dream Cruise is nuts! LOL
 
yea i've made it out to the downriver cruise a few times. i didnt get to go last year though. even though woodward is always packed, its still my favorite. the thing i love about woodward is that even if you go out that way on a random summer weekend, your gaurenteed to see quite a few nice cars.
 
I think there needs to be a strong Danase presence at all the cruises! I'm picturing a huge display with lots of give a ways!!!! Come on Bob, how about it?

I'd love to be! However it's all about money and to advertise at most of them would cost an arm and leg. LOL
