Just a hobbyist on my own cars, and a few relatives, but obviously want to do things right, and use great products. Just say NO to windex!

Although i may wash and detail autos and aircraft for money, I dont consider myself a pro just an enthusiast. The ironic thing is I love working on planes and helicopters. My main clients are autos, yet I really cant get into doing autos. I'll do them but yet I seem to zone out, be more meticulous and comfy when i do an aircraft. Go figure lol

I classify myself as an enthusiast-not a novice but love the challenge of detailing. I do my own cars and a few friends when time permits. I love the insight some of the guys have given me on various products- knowledge and experience is what this forum is all about. P.S. don't think I;ll ever be able to buy or use a buffer- gota do it old school way dudes!!!!!!!!!!

There are a lot of good remarks on here but each man has his way of detailing when you come on to some one with lost of years look listen and learn and mix it in with the way you do it. I love talking to thouse that make the stuff we use some is good some is not so good but after years of detailing you just know in a few words if its good or wont work for you

Strickly a hobbyist taking care of my own vehicles and occasionally a buddys. I've learned so much the past few months reading all the tips from the pros and sponsors. Started building my detailing arsenal with Poorboys products and have been quite satisfied with the performance thus far.

Another weekend warrior here. Thinking about trying to do it on the side for some extra cash though...

I'm a long time hobbyist/weekend warrior. I lean towards pro opinions more, heavy manufacturer and/or sponsor presence can become incestuous IMHO.
