Hi guys!!
A little about me: my name is Andrew and I live in Austin, TX. I am currently a full time student in an engineering degree plan. I spent four years in the Marines with 2 combat deployments and after I got out, I took over ownership of my moms MK3 Supra. Unfortunately it had sustained many years of sitting on the driveway, immobile and exposed to the elements. I did what I could to restore her and the Ice Blue Metallic Supra is currently undergoing an engine rebuild. I also purchased a BLACK 1992 Lexus SC400 to daily drive... and I thought dealing with 24 year old paint was bad. However I did what I could to fix what was (to me) an apparently horrid attempt to repaint half of the SC *facepalm. After having been told by freinds and acquaintances repeatedly that I do amazing work with keeping my old cars looking good despite bad paint, I decided to extend my services to others. My thirst for knowledge has led me to this forum. Right now, I am keeping my services at a basic level, washing, claybar treatment, waxing, polishing, etc. However, I am eager to expand my repertoire to include advanced detailing techniques. I hope to expand my small personal venture into a legitimate business in the future.
I will be spending lots of time browsing this forum in the next few weeks absorbing all the info and knowledge I can. Once I get my hands on some equipment/material, I plan on practicing my techniques on the SC. I'll just leave a couple photos here of my two babies.

First day I got her
Sorry I don't have any recent fullbody shots. I wish so much I had a car with new untarnished paint -_-
Anyways, glad to be here and I look forward to learning from the best.
