So here is my official entry for this contest. I wanted to recruit one of my fiancé’s dog, a West Highland Terrier named Maddie, and strap my Daytona Speed Master to her back and snap a pic while she cleaned my rim, but we couldn't get anything to work....and duct tape wasn't an option. So I decided to briefly tell my story…
I stumbled across Autogeek's youtube channel one day as I searched for videos on buffers and polishers. I became interested in machine polishing cars after watching random videos. After watching the videos Mike Phillips and company put together, as well as a lot of research, I built up enough courage to purchase the Porter Cable 7424XP. One thing led to another and I realized....I became obsessed with car detailing.
Then came the second order…then the third…then the…oh man…I’m going broke but I don’t care. I found myself throwing stuff into the cart and drooling over all the products.
After my fiance’s neighbors saw me do my car, they continued to ask me if I could do theirs. At first I didn’t think I was good enough, until I took a good look at my car and told myself “I could do it…why not?!” I can make a few extra dollars all while doing something I love. But I’m taking it to another level…I’m looking into the logistics of starting my own side detailing business…a legit side business…an LLC with a legit name and reputation. And to be honest…I have Autogeek and you guys and gals, here on the forum, to thank for motivating me…and giving me the knowledge to start somewhere.
I currently have a Daytona Speed Master, but I would like to have another one that I can use on my customers wheels to make them look exactly like this:
I’m no pro…just an average Joe…hopefully soon, one day, will be like some of the pro’s on this forum.
Regardless if I win or not, I want to thank all of you guys and gals…I appreciate your knowledge, suggestions, and feedback on the few posts I’ve made.
