    Hello MOL!

    Hello everyone! Finally decided to post an intro so I can start posting here. Some may recognize me and some may not, I go by the same name on most forums. I have a regular full time job and detail part time out of passion. I pretty much stay as busy as I want to and can find something to work on pretty quick. If you have any questions for me please ask.

    Take care,

    Richard

                  A little late for this but I wanted to share my story, and thanks to Marc08EX for inspiring me to do this!

                  I remember as a kid watching my mom wax her car with Kit if I remember correctly. I really didn't know what she was doing exactly but it stuck with me.

                  Story #1

                  Fast forward to 1995 when my mom gave me her 1994 Cavalier and bought a 1996 Cavalier. That's when I discovered Meguiar's. I saved some money and bought a bottle of Gold Class Shampoo and a can of Gold Class wax. I honestly washed and waxed my car every weekend and my step-dad would always say "you're going to wash the paint off that car". This was my usual routine until I discovered Quick Wax. Then it was wash and paste wax every other week and wash and quick wax in between.

                  I had a friend with a Dodge Avenger and she always kept it clean which caught my attention. One day we were talking about "detailing" our cars and I asked her how she kept her wheel wells looking good, her response changed my life and how I looked at cleaning my car - tire foam. She said she simply sprayed them with tire foam after spraying her tires. Naturally I had to try this and was blown away! Well after dressing the tires and wheel wells I took a close look at my black plastic bumper covers and went for it. Turned out pretty good until your pants touched them. This is where cotton terry towels came in, a quick wipe down after foaming the bumpers and everything was good to go! A little later I discovered the tire gel that looked like pure silicone which I believe now is Gold Class Endurance only purple. My bumpers stayed black longer of course.

                  Story #2

                  A year later, 1996, I was driving the 96 Cavalier off and on and maintaining that for my mom as payment. Well I happened to be at Advance Auto Parts and notice this 3 step system by Meguiar's. I remember loving the Gold Class wax and thought I would try this out on the 96 Cavalier to pamper it a little more. I knew I was doing something to the car but really didn't know what exactly, until the day came that I picked up my girlfriend from school to give her and her friends a ride home. When we dropped off my girlfriends' friend, her mom came out of the house and walked over to me and I thought I was in trouble. The first thing out of her mouth wasn't hello, who are you, or anything like that. Instead she asked me "What did you do to this car?". I replied "washed and waxed it". She said "no, you've done something more. That's not just wax."

                  Thanks to Meguiar's Deep Crystal 3 step system - 1) Paint Cleaner, 2) Pure Polish, 3) Carnauba Wax, someone took notice of my hard work and I was hooked from that point.

                  Sorry to ramble but that's how I got started.
