Default Thanks....

I wanted to say that the corvette forum is great and this section in particular is fantastic. I’ve learned more about detailing in 4 months here than in 20 years of doing it myself. I think I knew just enough to be dangerous to my cars paint finish! I was talking with my buddy about detailing and he looked at me and asked.. “So when did you get so smart about this stuff?” I confessed since I started reading this section of corvette forum! Lol I plan to continue to read and learn from so many knowledgeable members like Bugman! I just wanted to thank the people here that forgot more about proper car care than I’ll ever know about most of this stuff. I now really look forward to detailing my car!

I am a true newbie on this topic, and I've already benefited from all the great, unbiased and professional suggestions from the many I consider pro's, including Bugman, Agentf1, ZaneO, to only mention a few. Thanks to all for helping at the least mention of a question or recommendation.
