To all of our forum members it gives us mixed feelings to bid farewell to Todd Helme but it is time for him to move on in the world. He has driven from Orlando the long drive to our office in Stuart every week and lived in the hotel long enough. We have been working with him for the past three years and we have grown to love Todd and embrace him into the PBMG family since he joined us in July 2011. He has been a valuable member of our team and a great addition to our family and we will be very sad to see him go. Todd's passion for detailing has been a driving force for his success in developing Autopiaforums.com :yourrock

Please join me in wishing Todd best of luck and the greatest of success in his future and wherever life takes him. I personally will miss his dry sense of humor, picking on him for wearing his shirts too small, our talks, his bear hugs, lecturing him on eating too much sugar and the great relationship we have developed which was so unlikely to happen! :rofl

He has been a pleasure to work with and I will truly miss him but I know he will not be far from us and he will be visiting the forum often!

Best wishes Mr. Helme we all love you here at PBMG!

Meghan and the Palm Beach Motoring Group family!

:(. Definitely going to miss you Todd! I hope you still visit. Best of luck to what ever path you choose next, I'm sure you be just as successful if not more.
 
Todd,

I am truly saddened to hear of your departure.

The very best of wishes to you and I know that you will be a tremendous success in your next endeavor.

Warmest regards,
Tom
 
Wow that is a shocker! Best wishes to Todd!! We are going to be missing out on great reviews and advice all over. You will be missed!
 
Mi Amigo, Todd-o ! :)

I had no idea you were making a change !

Change is always good, right ??? :)

I remember getting to know you and your unbelieveable work what - almost 10 years ago - on a couple of other Forums that have long since gone...

You were a super individual then, and have grown to even surpass all the best words that can be used to describe you, the man, and your incredible work !!!!

I hope and pray that all will be the absolute Best for you and yours, and that we can somehow stay in touch, ok ??

Your experience alone is totally irreplaceable - forever !!!!

If you ever find yourself on the Northern part of the California West Coast, you know that just a call or text, and I will be there to help you guys find your way, ok ???

My Very Best Regards,
Dan Franco

Many blessings in your new venture! Thank you for all you have done here. I know whatever you are doing, it will be very sucsessful. God speed my friend. Semper Fi!
 
This is sad news. Todd is probably my favorite detailer... He is synonymous with BF and his articles are the best out there.

Hopefully he will remain active in detailing and still participate on the forum.

If your looking for a replacement; I vote for Ron.
 
I am totally stunned by this news .....
I have thoroughly enjoyed Todd's amazing contributions to this forum and everything he has done at PBMG. Getting to know him the last few couple of years at Detail Fest has certainly been a rewarding experience and his vast depth of knowledge will most definitely be missed by all of us.
 
Fellow Autopians-

Life is an interesting journey – I have been beyond lucky to be such a part of this unique thing we call detailing. I have witnessed it grow from its infancy to a full-fledged industry; first as an enthusiast, then as a professional, and finally as an integral part of the two largest companies responsible for the growth of detailing today – Classic Motoring Accessories & Palm Beach Motoring Group.

I never would have imagined that the 15-year old kid reading about car wax at the local library would one day earn a living helping others to make their cars shiny. It has been my biggest challenge thus far, and my proudest accomplishment. I took part of launching the former Truth In Detailing -which at the time challenged top detailing forums for traffic- as well as helping AutopiaForums grow from the a small community to the 2nd largest detailing forum. Simply put, it has been amazing.

Working for Palm Beach Motoring Group has been an awe-inspiring experience. To outsiders it is the largest high-end detailing E-tailer, but on the inside it is much more. The love each employee has for detailing and good business is equaled by their love for each other. PBMG is much more a family than a business, and I am honored to be a part of it. My love for them runs deep -how many (soon to be) former employee's can say that?!

Thank you for a wonderful three years and keep creating WHIPLASH!
Todd
