What's up everyone! I've been browsing Autopia for a little over a year now. Never signed up because I was just learning. Well, I found myself with many answers to a lot of the questions...and thought, why not finally sign up, I've got some experience now, time to share.
Had a life epiphany about a month ago. After I got out of the Marine Corps, I tried out a few possible career goals. Wanted to be a personal trainer, but I injured my back in the Marine Corps and never got treated. It was too depressing training clients and seeing them improve, as I was losing everything I trained so hard to get. Tried a few other things and ended up taking classes in Accounting again. It was easy for me, I was really good at it and it's a good career. So, I was pursuing it until about a month ago.
I finally started seeing a chiropractor and things are looking up. When I started detailing I couldn't polish more than a panel a day. I just did a 10-hr detail on my wifes car and woke up the next day feeling as normal as I would have before my injury! I decided to bit the bullet, go back to school for Automotive (what I was pursuing before I joined the Marine Corps) and I haven't felt better. While in the Accounting program, I felt like I was convincing myself this is what I wanted to do. When I'm detailing or working on a car, I feel like THIS is what I should be doing.
Anyways, I'm happy about my decision and look forward to learning more and sharing some of the info I've built up after Autopia, Autogeek, MOL and DetailingBliss.
Here are two quick video's I put together. The first is me testing out my new camcorder. I was messing with time lapse options. The first was 10 second intervals...WAY too fast. Vacuuming was 2 second intervals and cleaning my leather was 1 second...still faster than I wanted. The second is me testing out my new gear for polishing headlights. I usually don't take that many steps, but wanted to try all my stuff out. 1 thing I learned...I don't like 320 grit on headlights. It took forever to get those scratches out and the paper filled up way too fast!
