Liltrekkie Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) It's been a little over due (okay a lot) And I bring greetings from St. Charles, Missouri! I'm currently 19 and have been detailing since I was about... 3 or so (according to my parents). It started with my moms' 1994 Chevy Corsica (which has been better days, replacing a damaged piston) and I would wash her car with an old terry cloth and use the two bucket system, and they thought I was nuts for using two buckets back then! Pfft! showed them! And then using a plush sock using applying the trusty turtle wax wax. Which, in all retrospect, I'm surprised the car doesn't have many swirls because of the old terry cloth i used to wash it ha ha. And then I used to wash my bikes the same way. Now fast forward to when I was about.. 12, My mom acquired another car from my grandpa, BEAUTIFUL car, 1995 Buick Roadmaster with 23,000 original miles. It now has 78,000 miles thanks to me. Which is still low, but since it has a cast iron engine it needs to be driven or it will rust from the inside out. It hasn't had anything major except for a heater core and a water pump, general maintenance, synthetic oil, K&N oil and air filter. She gets treated well. Anyway, after being on Camaro5 since the 5th was peaked, I learned of Adams, I knew their products were good but I just wasn't a believer. Well a few months ago I finally dropped ship and spent a few hundred dollars on some simple products. APC, car shampoo, carpet cleaner (which works amazing for the inside too) I am now here... almost a thousand dollars later and buying everything I can. The only thing I don;t have, is a cyclo polisher yet... But I'll get one... soon. Well, since then detailing has been my thing, much like Adam his self. I'll detail my friends cars for the heck of it because I just love doing it. Cars are an emotion, a passion, something for me, larger then life. You get to know a car when you wash them, you feel the work put into them. Something I like to do day after day. It never gets old. I'll spend 12 hours on a detail just to make it right and perfect. I guess you could say Adam himself is a bit of a role model to me... I hope one day to be a dealer of Adams products and be a professional detailer. Sorry for the life story and all, but even thinking about it brings a smile to my face. I can go on for hours but I'm afraid everyone will get bored ha ha.

Liltrekkie Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 who?? who?? Okay well maybe not everyone loves perfect paint. But from what I am reading there are a few people who go above and beyond for that little extra shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liltrekkie Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Welcome from KS. So do you have a 5th gen Camaro, or are you just a member of said forum? I dream of 5th gen Camaro, (and 7th generation Corvette Stingray) that's about as much as i can afford hahaha. No I don't have one.. Yet. I'm just a member/lurker. I've posted more on corvette7 then I have on Camaro5. My love of detailing, and having detailed A few local cars around here give me some experience with a few cars. I've done a couple 5th gens, (None of them SS or ZL1 versions) A Mazda 6, a Mazda 3, An older Jeep, i think, A couple of Mustangs (2005+ versions) and of course my Roadmaster. But I hope to be doing more cars soon And maybe/hopefully make a business out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
