I've been lurking for a while, and finally signed up so you guys can listen to me ramble and ask a ton of questions... My name's Joe, and I'm from Pittsburgh. As you can likely guess from my username, my DD is a 94 Jeep Cherokee. You won't hear too many questions about that one, as I've gotta take care of the missing/rusted metal and failing clearcoat before I do much detailing on it. That one'll probably be next summer. 
I learned the "secrets" of detailing and paint repair from my dad and grandfather mostly... And all of it was from back in the days when a wool pad on a rotary would fix anything, and chemicals didn't have numbers. They were just called red, white, and Collinite. Needless to say, I've got a fair bit of catching up to do. At least I'm not afraid of using a rotary.
I'm actually taking a break from my first major project in a while: fixing four years worth of gravel road and sawmill gunk damage on my dad's new to him '04 F150. It was purchased from a family friend who lives up in the middle of nowhere. Cobwebs and swirls all over the place, but it looks like it's gonna be pretty straightforward. I'll get some pictures as the process goes along and put those in Detailing 101. I'm figuring it'll be done by the weekend.
At this point, I probably owe you guys a ton of thanks just for the things I've learned from lurking and reading, and even more thanks in advance for all the questions I'm sure you'll be getting out of me soon. I'm glad I found this place.
