Agreed, I started as a lurker but very soon after moved to registering and posting and then purchasing and being a customer.

Its the only detailing forum I am on or registered to and has been most valuable. Top products, top advice and awesome service, this coming from someone on the other side of the planet.

Thanks AutoGeek, you have a lifetime customer (Can't wait to receive the new stuff I ordered).

I joined almost as soon as i found AGO back in 2007 having come from a few other detailing forums that ranged from aloof to downright unhospitable.

I had enough of those who may have had less experience than me proceed to berate me or my question.

When i found AGO i exhaled and settled in!

When i think back to my involvement with other online forums, i remember being hesitant to even ask a question due to wanting to avoid the unearned wrath.

I sat in silence, read whatever was useful and progressed my skills much slower than i do now.

Enter AGO and wow!

This place is the most accomodating, friendly exchange of information on everything detailing and then some.

I have shed my fear of participation because of this place and its character. Because of that, i have learned so much personally that i never would have obtained from just sitting on the sidelines reading.

Sure, we can all continue to read posts and Mike's articles but its when you make it personal that it really pays off.

Questions like "why am i getting streaking with my first layer of XYZ?" or "does anyone else use ABC on one stage paints?" yield genuine answers here that help YOU personally.

Plus that same question also helped maybe 112 lurkers. Plus the fact that experience level doesn't matter here. Don't be the least bit intimidated.

Jump on in, grab a cold one outta the fridge and have a seat with us. We might learn something from YOU.

The wealth of knowledge from AGO... Magnificent!!!

Glad I joined! My car is literally the cleanest on the street because of the people on here have helped me get there.

In comparison to AGO USERS, I have so much more to learn to get my car top notch!! Thank you guys!! And Mike for your help on previous questions I've had.

Another great reason why I love this forum. It's nice to have Mike and company reps reply back to you.

I lurked from 2009 until May of 2013.

It's been a fantastic time, and learned a LOT of great information.

The overall tone and vibe is, and has been friendly, and helpful, since my lurking days!

@Mike Phillips. You're so right. I myself had been lurking for about a year mostly due to not knowing how easy it would be to register an account.

I tend to dislike certain sites which require too much wierd information in order to be able to post.. But Autogeek was easy.

And I'm glad I finally joined, because if I hadn't joined when I did, I wouldn't have went to last Saturdays Roadshow Class in Huntington Beach:)

This is the friendliest best forum there is, on any topic, PERIOD.

There are lots of forums where people believe what they think and know is the only way and if you dont agree with them you are wrong.

Not here.

Everyone has favorite products, and processes, and of course we all try to share our enthusiasm for such, but there is no knocking of people for sticking with alternatives.

Like Mike says, if you find something you like, use it and use it often.

But beware, this forum isnt free! While there is no charge to use it, it is fuel for our crazy passion (addiction) and will cause money to be spent on products! Lots of them!

I think the reason this forum is easy on new folks unlike others, where you mention how everyone says just search, is because of the large number of super detailed threads by Mike.

We have a simple way to just link the basics and help people find the most relevant and in depth tutorials.

There aren't too many forums out there that work like this one does.

I have been detailing my cars in the beginning of 2000. I started lurking around since 2010. Stopped buying all c#%p I was buying for years. Decided to join in 2013. I've got my first free samples from super nice forum member Billy Jack. Now, I cannot skip checking forum daily before going to bed.
 
Angrypistols here, I have been lurking for the better part of a year and am delighted to now be a member of your forum. Thanks for inviting me and I hope to contribute to the forum in some small way in the future.

I have made several purchases from AGO to support my new found hobby(addiction)of detailing the cars in my household. Anyone else ready for spring?

Anyway glad to be here to learn and absorb. I am attaching a photo of Mrs Angry's pickup with a coat of Collinite 845 and Klasse for your review critique.

:dblthumb2: Autogeek rocks...exceptional customer service, products & forum. I've learned a lot here.

I read posts everyday from people that have been lurking for years! Then one day they finally click the link to join the forum and join so they can either ask questions or answer questions for other forum members.

This is a great forum. Not a good forum but a great forum. I know from first hand experiences that on most forums the members are brash and sometimes just downright rude and especially to new members merely asking questions.

Not here.

We don't allow that kind of behavior on this forum. My personal experience on other forums made me leave and never come back. For this reason I personally have always strived to make any forum I'm a part of both friendly and helpful.

That's why you don't see people asking questions only to have the forum bullies answer,

Use the search button

Nope... not going to happen here. You ask a question and the norm is you get all the information you were looking for and hoping for and that's what a great forum is all about.

So if you're reading this and you've been lurking for days or months or even years then make the leap of faith that you're truly joining a top notch, professional grade forum and join in the fun.

If you're reading this and you've made the transition from lurker to member then chime in with your story. I know you'll inspire others to do the same.

Also... on this forum there is no such thing as a dumb question. We ALL started in the same place and that's knowing nothing. Even me.

The only way you learn is to ask questions. So instead of lurking and searching for questions and answers members have asked do yourself a favor and join in the fun an be part of the best detailing discussion forum on the net. I guarantee it.

Well said Gentlemen. :applause:

Very happy to be a member of this incredibly friendly forum. There is no other place to be than here.

:buffing:
 
I have been an Autogeek lurker for a few months now. I have probably logged 20 plus hours on the Autogeek website. Don't ask how many times I have looked at the different Lake Country polishing pads, Menzerna Polishes, and Meguiars products. How does a guy get enjoyment at looking at foam polishing pads?

My background in detailing started when I was 14 years old, detailing cars at my father's used car lot. It took me a few years and I convinced my dad to buy a Dewalt polisher and some 3M pads. I was hooked from that point. My dad recently semi-retired and gave me the Dewalt polisher and it still works flawlessly. I came to Autogeek and spent way too much money on everything from Meguiars APC, Super Degreaser, Xpress Wax, to Menzerna compounds and polishes (oh, and I finally got to buy some Lake Country pads).

Mike Phillips' post on the "Mindset of a Professional Detailer" really struck home with me. It seems that the majority of the truly professional detailers adopt this mindset. After watching hours upon hours of youtube videos you get a feel for the detailer's passion towards his/her craft. Thank you for all the helpful information. I feel like I have learned countless tips and techniques from the help of Mike and all the other knowledgable Autogeeks.

Thanks again,
Bob

That's definitely one of my favorite articles that I've ever written. For everyone that will read this thread into the future here's the link to the article.

Thanks for sharing your story Bob and I'm already looking forward to your future posts.

I remember when I became a member but I didn't participate for a while. I'm not a social person online mainly because of Facebook. This is the only social media I have and I love autogeek. Very friendly people.

One of my things was that even tho I am a car nut I am not a computerologist. So I had hesitations of joining for fear of always being bugged with ads and trying to sell me crap.. This is not the case with this forum. Its a wonderful place with a lot of info and helpful advice. Its just amazing how many visitors there are and how few members compared to visitors in the site.. It cost nothing to become a member and the savings/promos as a member is even better.. If your afraid of being harassed by this site don't be.. Everyone is very helpful here as usually all car nuts are... Stop lurking and support your favorite site by signing up... More power in numbers and give credit where credit is due....
 
Join today and have your credit card ready. I love this place. In the last year I don't know if I have gone two days without checking in with my fellow AG's.

Thanks to Mike and all the other members for all the great articles and videos.

One year on AGO, I'm excited to see all the new products, tools, and techniques discussed. When temps are -10 degrees Fahrenheit like they are right now, AGO gives me a bit of my detailing fix:)
 
Yes. Joining does not require posting everyday. Just chime in with a kudos, a question or bragging about every last Fruit Loop you were able dig out of the Caravan.
