Hello, everybody! I've been lurking for a few weeks... finally decided to register and say hello.
My name is Suzanne and I live in Upstate NY, about 2 hours north of NYC. I work with horses full-time and have a small part-time photography business.
My dad is a "car guy" and taught me proper wash & wax basics when I was a kid (along with basic car maintenance). Since then, it has always made me nuts to see people scrubbing on their paint and using dirty towels, lol!
One month ago I purchased my quartz blue pearl 2013 Subaru Impreza. Love my first Subie and love the color, but my 2 previous cars were white (high mileage Fords)... within a day I could tell that keeping this car looking great was going to make me a bit OCD, lol!
The winter has been so cold and nasty up here this year. So far, my Subie has been stuck with only frequent rinses at the local coin-op to keep the winter road crud to a minimum. I had picked up a big Meg's kit the week I got the car and swapped out my old MF for a stack of nice new ones... just waiting for a day off with decent weather.
Then I stumbled onto AG when Googling how to take care of alloy wheels... oh my! For the past few weeks I have been reading Mike's articles, watching videos and digging through the forums. My AG wish list keeps getting bigger and I'm sensing a DA in my near future. :laughing:
I'm sure I will have questions along the way, but I already feel like I know a lot more than I did before finding AG. And yes, I will bring out my big Nikon DSLR to take photos
