Recently found AGO out of necessity last month.
I worked as a body shop estimator until things slowed down in the shop and the noob (me) was ushered toward the door. The detailing company that the shop had been using went under and the replacement was hit or miss. It worked out that I was laid off on Friday and started a new business on the following Monday doing post-body repair cleanups for my former employer.
I've done a few details and I'm just about ready to start doing more intensive detail work for prime time at the shop. I'm stuck on the shoestring equipment acquisition plan right now, but it's coming along. I learned a great deal from the painters at the shop who are old hats and have taken the time to teach me a good deal of stuff, including how spit and grit followed up with a big DeWalt rotary can fix a dirt nib in a heartbeat.
Anyway, thanks to Max and Mike and the rest of the crew for setting up this little carnival. It benefits us all. :dblthumb2:
