Poorboys Rules!
I've been a car fanatic since I was a child. Growing up my father was always working on his cars and he was a 'neat freak', so keeping the cars clean was always at the top of the list. All of the kids in the neighborhood knew that you didn't touch Mr. Moore's cars...or else!
So as my brother and I became of driving age we were always picky with our cars and customizing them was also something we did and took great pride in. Over the years, every car I owned was customized and was taken to car shows and I was frequently winning trophies and all those years the most I did to them was wash and wax them. It netted me trophies, so I thought I was doin' it right by just keeping it spotless. I cringe now to think about how I cared for them as I would wash them with dish soap and use normal bath towels to dry them. It's what we had, so it's what we used. I was always agitated by the swirls I'd see, but never knew how to get rid of them. I thought wax would hide them, but it never did and many of the cars I'd see at the shows had swirls so I just assumed I had to live with them.
As of last year, I sold my customized ZX3 so basically I'm out of the car show scene right now. That's when this place comes in...
I've learned so many tips and tricks over the last year here that I just wish I would've known (or inquired) more about detailing sooner. I never knew there was so much great stuff available and that it all worked so well.
So I just wanna say thanks to everyone here and especially to Troy for providing and maintaining such a helpful board. This place has changed me and the way I care for my cars. Thanks to you guys (and gals) I'm now an anal retentive detailing nut.
My hope is that there are younger car enthusiasts, who are passionate about their cars like I used to be, who find this place and can benefit from the knowledge here and hopefully help them to achieve better results on their cars and make them much more proud of their rides! I frequent many other car boards and am always trying to 'pimp' this place and express the importance of detailing to other enthusiasts with the hopes that they'll take it more seriously.
So, as cheesy as it may sound, thanks to all of you for making this such a great community and for helping me to make my cars look better than ever!
