Hi, and Nice to meet u all :)

[X-Tazik]

Hey guys, My name is Viktor. I am originally from Russia, but now reside in Washington I have been following you guys for a while... ever since someone posted the Ferrari 360 in British Racing Green And now i finnaly decided to join. I have work at an RV lot, and detail motor homes, but we also get boats, atv's, cars, trucks, etc... But i LOVE detailing cars, simply fro that overwhelming feeling of accomplishment, when after hours of hard work you stand back and admire you work. Probably like everyone else here As far as products that i use, its mostly Car Beauty PROS, and Malco, Because those are the two distributors that stop by the lot every month, also Meguars. I would like to hear what you guys think about those copanys if anyone has ever tried them. Ill post pics of the stuff i use later

 

[Flash Gordon]

Welcome Victor, I worked a good deal of time in Russia, Ukraine and Lithuania during the 90's. Russian hospitality is the best. I havent tried the product lines you use except for Megs. I have used the Duragloss RV & Marine products and they are great. Welcome to the USA.

No i don't mind, well we have lots of relatives here in US... and one day they called and were like : so u guys coming or what??? and we were like huh ??????? so my parents asked me, do u want to go to America?? i thought about it for a sec and said yes... since we did watch American shows like Beverly hills and such, we thought all of America was like that.. and i didn't mind living in Hollywood and driving a red Ferrari to school Unfortunatly when we got here it was nothing that we expected, we were living here worse than we did there, since we had to sell everything and start from scratch... we lived in a really small ghetto town surrounded by illegal Mexicans and crackheads but we pulled thorough... moved to suburbs and that's pretty much it ohh did i mention that back home we lived in a Large very culturally rich city full of history (Dating back as far as 2500 years) on the fifth floor with beach view of the beautiful black sea ... yeah we were pissed first few years lol

Cool, love seeing lurkers switch over to active members!

You're getting lots of valuable experience in a work environment like that and you summed up how a lot of us feel about detailing, that is the sense of accomplishment and pride from turning a diamond in the rough into a glistening gemstone...

Probably like everyone else here As far as products that i use, its mostly Car Beauty PROS, and Malco, Because those are the two distributors that stop by the lot every month, also Meguars.

Those brands have been around for a long time and for the market they cater to they do a good job, I called on detail shops at one time in my life and really liked the work but one thing I learned, if you're not "Jonny on the spot" you lose a sale to the guy that got there before you.


This is the primary reason I purchased this Milk Truck, I'm a "Car Guy" and detested the idea of driving a white Astro Van to make shop calls, so I put shelves in the Milk Truck and used it for my route truck.

1966 Milk Truck

This is a "real" 1967 A.C. Cobra with the original 427 engine.

Glad to have you aboard...

:welcome: Welcome X-Tazik. Thanks for sharing your story... very interesting.
I moved to the states when I was about 10 or 11 and I must say I was none too pleased either. Very different culture from where I came. Anyway after some difficult years I have come to appreciate all the good in America.

Look forward to seeing you around

In Lithuania, I worked from 94-98 replacing the plant processing computer (PPC) at Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant. It had the two biggest reactors in the world! After that I was the Lead Consultant for the US DOE for making Soviet commercial reactors ready for Y2K. I spent most of 99 in the Ukraine making the last Chernobyl reactor Y2K ready. There is a reason the power didnt go off on Y2K. Spent a lot of time in Moscow in 99 too. It was the greatest adventure of my life, working in the former USSR for those 5 years.

Oh Yeah Victor, join the VIP Club and also remember to use code AGO for Free Shipping on orders over $95. Also understood the Beatles song Back in the USSR after I went there.
