Wow, where do I start??? I loved this thread - just read it this morning and lol a number of times. Wish I had been part of it originally...
The comments about having so much detailing stuff - priceless and how true! It seems like every time one of us get a new car the bug comes back, and each time I buy new chems instead of dipping into my expansive inventory in the basement. After all, for the obsessed, brand new versions are better than using what ya have (some are definitely too old). I do hide orders frequently, hehehe. Good thing I WFH most days.
We just moved to Portage, DaveT435. As the saying goes, "Yes, there really is a Kalamazoo!". Moved up here from the Cincinnati area and simply love it. Wife works in Kzoo, and I WFH most of the time and commute to GR up to 2x per week.
Been around AGO off and on since day 1 (March '06). Definitely agree to the Wolfgang comments you guys posted... WG being my far out fav, and UPP being a distant 2nd.
Agreed, Java is for drinking. rajon and RippyD I appreciate the techy comments. Been in the IT biz since 1990, have done lots of coding, infra architecture and now do project management (us old-timers kinda slowly get out of the fun stuff and make our way over to running projects, at least that is what I find).
MiWolverine... update us on how your detailing is going!
Yes, Go Blue! And just so everyone knows; while in Cincinnati we still hung UM banners every Saturday, year around. We loved pissing off the OSU people (although most of the time they have the bragging rights). Our 2nd favorite team is always the last one to have beaten OSU.

For winter I find Wolfgang Paint Protectant 3.0 to be amazing but The Ceramic coat to be better for obvious reasons. I have tried a ridiculous number of waxes and find that my preference changes with my mood more than reality.
You'll want to use Iron X or McKee's 37 iron remover, etc. to get all the iron particles out of the paint.
What part of Michigan? I was raised in the Kalamazoo area.
GO BLUE!!
Hysterically awkward secret handshake returned. Java is for drinking, C (and begrudgingly C++ and Python) are for coding. The condescending UNIX user from the Dilbert comics is my career goal.
My collection of microfiber products is bordering on embarrassing. I have different colored wash mitts for horizontal, vertical high, and vertical low. I will play with the rinseless a little more but the foam gun is just so much fun.
I've lived all over Michigan, but currently live in Jackson. Born in Saginaw, moved to Traverse City (where I lived most of my life), then Grand Rapids and finally settled in Jackson. Jackson is okay (short drive to The Big House), but I want to get back up north. Not to TC, but somewhere on the other side of the state. TC is a mess and, to me, isn't very inviting anymore. Though, I do love Benzie/Leelanau areas. Oh, and GO BLUE!
Thanks again, everyone. This site is quite awesome with all the info. I start getting into one video and have to start watching another right away. Same goes for articles. Much to learn.

Coated it with Wolfgang Paint Sealant 3.0
