Bacontk Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Just thought I would finally introduce myself to everybody. I am an Alaskan living in Nebraska. About five or so years ago I bought my first car that I actually cared about. It was a 2001 mitsubishi eclipse. I always used over the counter products on it,mainly meguires, but it always looked great(pictured below). After the first time detailing it I fell in love with the shine of a well detailed car. People at work started to notice that my car was always spotless, so they started asking me to detail there cars. For about two years I had at least one to two cars a week. It was great. After I finished my enlistment in the Air Force I gave up the detailing as a part time job, family came first. I lost interest in the eclipse and was looking for something that could haul as well as haul a$$. I found a 2003 Silverado SS and fell in love instantly. For the first year I had it, I used and abused it. Using it the way a truck was meant to be used. after a year of neglect I started looking at it knowing that I needed to get it looking the way it should. I was turned on to Adams Polishes through Dylan06SS over at Silveradoss.com. I think I had read just about every thread he had started or posted in over there about detailing and craved more information. As many times as he referenced Adams polishes I had not checked the forum. I was finally ready to upgrade my detailing products and knew Adam's was the way to go. When I started looking at the site I found the forum and have been obsessed with reading as much as I can since. Still have so much to learn, but I now know my best resource is here, and I will spend many many hours reading and asking questions when I have to to get my truck to the level it should be. 2001 Eclipse detailed with mainly Meguires products Added Truck pics... Just finished cleaning up the exterior and got a few pics before the sun went down. I will make a proper post for it in the truck section once I do a photo shoot.
