Hello, Adam! Thank you for the interested reply. Bike touring can be a family-friendly activity, but a lengthy tour can be tough on the little ones. My tour took about 45 days from mid-June to early August of 1973, and left quite an impression on me. I still cycle quite a bit, but slowly and with great pleasure. Another thank you for preparing and making available such informative educational materials as your videos and worksheets to compliment your outstanding line of products. I appreciate the effort you've made to enrich our ability to better do what we love to do. Best, Dave D. (Stutz)

Hello, friends! I grew up in central California, near Visalia. I couldn't afford a really decent bike until college, when I was able to buy a yellow 10-speed Nishiki. I read everything I could lay my hands on and frequented the bike shops in and around Berkeley. I didn't have the required athleticism to compete in racing, but I took a fancy to touring. A friend and I toured the west coast from San Francisco to Vancouver, B.C., and returned to tell the tale. I've used my bikes mostly as daily transportation, and, wanting them to look nice, read about 'detailing' (as opposed to 'washing') bicycles. It was quite a revelation to learn how a clay bar could improve a finish! When circumstanced required that I have a car, I was determined to keep it up. It was a Dodge Intrepid, and one of the posters suggested I try Adam's Polishes VRT for the enormous dash. I watched the videos included with that purchase and have enjoyed a relationship with the company since then (about two years now). Thanks for the quality products, instruction, and now, community of detailers. Best, Dave D. (Stutz)

Adam and colleagues, What wonderful photos and anecdotes. I, too, was brought into auto detailing by way of bicycles. It's very inspirational to see what others have done with their youthful passions. Thank you for sharing. Best, Dave D.

Happy to be among the throng of interested, knowledgeable and enthusiastic detailing aficionados on these forums. From central California, Dave Demanty (Stutz)
