  • Greetings.............

    Hello everyone...........Vinny here. I owned and operated a freestanding cosmetic car clinic for 23 years in Springfield Missouri. I sold the operation some 14 years ago while still holding the account of my first customer on the Salon Program.

    Anyway....I've stayed abreast of most new or revised products as time has passed and I'm always interested in the field since I restore my own cars.

    I've been bodyworking and painting since age 17. Detailing,wet-sanding and paint correction was huge draw for my company as so few could manage the final level we took it too.

    I'm still amazed to this day how many folks don't maintain their finishes or pay for it and all the mistakes left in their wake.

    Its all about education and effort in the end.

    ( By the way....that icon's up/down technique bothers me !!)

    Cheers,Vinny

      That sounds like a great idea...thank you for the invite. I know my friend Bob Bartel is going this coming Thurs with his silver BMW Z4 roadster.

      Mine Z4 coupe is abit more of a road warrior currently...but could certainly benefit from some TLC !

      I'll see where I'm at town-wise Thursday eve................

                Welcome, Vinny! A current Missourian here. My daughter will go to Springfield this fall, I expect I will visit there a lot. I like that description, cosmetic car clinic.

                  I also liked that description. Cosmetic car clinic. It reminded me of a old detailer in my area. His company name was,"Wax Factor". I always thought of the make up line called "Max Factor". lol

                      Welcome to MOL, Vinny. It was great meeting you last night at the TNOG - thanks for coming down and sharing some of your knowledge with some of the others who attended.

                        Thanks Mike. It was my pleasure for sure. It felt good to run a rotary again and do correction. I always enjoyed the customers reactions for the before and after results.

                        I'll try and make some more Thurs. nite meets. I know Ian was VERY thrilled to get the deep water etchings out of his paint.

                        Cheers,Vinny
