Who Are You? Just for fun.

1.What is your real name?
Jon Miller

2. How old are you?
64

3. Where do you live?
Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, US / Hampstead, London, England, UK

4. What do you do for a living?
Engineering Director, Oil & Gas Exploration

5. What does your forum name mean?
The Old Grey Whistle Test - infers that the blokes with a little grey in their hair have tested these products or tools in real world situations, on many different car marques and various automotive paint system’s, they are recommended as they have been found to do what they were designed to do, usually more than adequately

6. A interesting fact-
I began detailing Mercedes-Benz / BMW at my Father’s dealership as well as his Jag collection back in the 50's, he enters them into Concours d’élégance events (detailing to another level) and as such I’m used to a large number of high-end new and used cars. The one thing I learned (and still have that last 98% to learn, mind you) way back then still holds true today “It’s the surface preparation that makes the difference, not the product". I detailed my first car when I was fourteen; it was a 1929 Bentley that belong to my Fathers friend Brigadier John Dix of Kensington, London. If, as they say, "God is in the details," then a 1929 Bentley is truly a religious experience. I am also the author of twenty three detailing ebooks

6. An interesting fact we might not know about you... YOU HAVE seen my handy-work! I was (in a previous life) part of a team that developed high-speed ink-jet printing in the UK, now if you look at the date-code on a can of Coke / whatever and find one with a W or an M, you'll see that the middle-dot on the W is actually raised 1/2 way between 2 dots (vertically aligned... look closely cause normally when reading it, you'd never spot it)... That's my mark on the World that has stood the test of time, the code is 15 years old and still being used!
