  • New guy from Iowa.

    Hey everyone, new guy from West Des Moines here. I am the owner of a 2002 Camaro Z28 in Navy Blue Metallic. I am looking for good advice on starting to detail with more advanced techniques. I am still at the hand stage but hopefully will be picking up the G110 very soon. I have always been very pleased with Meguiar's products. I grew up around my father who had always done custom paint and who swore by Meguiar's. As I got older I realized why.

    I am also thinking about starting a detailing business some day soon. As of right now I am doing full wash and dries along with clay and cleaner wax and sealant. I also do some interior work but unfortunately don't have the equipment to handle big stains yet. I am more than willing to learn from the best and have been lurking for a few days and it already looks like there are a few members who are much more knowledgeable then I could ever hope to be.

    I will hopefully post up some pictures of my car tonight. It is a 40K mile daily driver that is modified. Your basic swirls and a few parking lot scratches. Nothing that should be too hard to remove. Thanks for letting me join a great board! I look forward to learning and hopefully eventually teaching some newbs like myself.

      The only reason some people get lost in thought... is because it is unfamiliar territory for them.

        Nice to see a fellow Iowan onboard. There are only a few of us on MOL. I'm in Waterloo. Wow 40K miles is pretty low for a 2002 car. Welcome to MOL!

              We don't allow pictures in your signature because it visually junks up a thread.

              We're always open to having someone make the case to allow this but so far no one has done so.

              We do allow a generous amount of space for your Avatar however, 160 pixels wide by 200 pixels tall.
