Default Signing Off 12/31 --- Killrwheels@Autogeek

Well after almost thirteen years representing Autogeek here on the Corvetteforum, I will be no longer handle their relationship here in the Car Care section effective 12-31-2016.

It it has been a great experience, and as an avid detailer and Corvette owner, it was natural for me to support this section for them. I have provided many reviews, tested many products, and hopefully provided sound advice to you all. I hope you have also visited the many sales posts and gotten some great deals.

Autogeek has taken on new owners, Vision Investments LLC. I do not know how or if they will continue representing this area of the forum. I wish them luck in the future as you all have been great friends and tremendously helpful in building the business. I do want to thank the original owner, Bob McKee, and all the associates with Autogeek.

I will resume being a forum member effective 1-1-2017. Who knows ... perhaps another Car Chemical Company will desire a forum consultant. I enjoyed the role and look forward to the future of detailing and the products to support it. May your cars be clean and the envy of others !!

Scott

Thank you for all your expert advise over the years. You will be missed by all here so don't be a stranger to the Forum. We need an expert in the auto detail field due the ever changing product technology. Again, we will miss your help and endless knowledge.

Sorry to hear this. I have been through ownership changes before and I know it's not fun. All the products that I currently use have come from suggestions you made in your thousands of posts. Hope you will stay on the forum and continue to offer advice. Thanks for your help and best wishes for what's ahead.

Thanks for all of your great advice and expertise. It sounds like you will still be on the forum, so continue to share with us, even though you may not have access to the newer stuff. You will be missed. Good luck in the future.

If they pull support from the forum I don't feel it would be a wise decesion on their end although nothing surprises me these days. Good luck.

I still can't believe Scott and Killerwheels will not be at the end of a keystroke for us.

Bummer. Sorry to see you go Scott. I very much appreciate the help over the years. I purchased from Autogeek only due to your involvement here.

Ironically I just received the Mequiars $4.99 kit (2) today based on the link you posted last week Scott.

Thanks

I appreciate all the kind words and humbled by the thoughts. I love this forum and detailing. My hope is Autogeek continues to see the value and builds upon what I was able to implement and accomplish.

Thank you all !
