Default St. Pete Auto Aids

Just stopped by St. Pete Auto Aids in St. Petersburg and met Joe Ferraro, the owner. What a great guy. We talked for a couple hours about cars and he gave us a complete tour of his facility. I didn't realize he manufactured many of his products on site. It was impressive. If you have any detailing needs look him up. Just make sure you're not in a hurry, he'll talk to you awhile!

Don't feel bad about it, Joe; I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT NOW!!!!

AND I'M THE INFAMOUS "SAL" EVERYONE THAT EVERYONE IS GOING TO YOUR STORE TO BUY YOUR PRODUCTS TO COPY MY CAR!!!
Why are they doing that, you ask? Because I don't sell my products; my products are a TRADE SECRET thats been in the family for generations and generations! I've even sent them to Frank White's Plumbing in Tampa, a local detailing shop set up in the guise of a plumbing facility-you should see the inventory set-up that 'ol Drummer Boy has behind his burglar-barred windows-if that don't make your mouth water, nothing will....
In fact, once a month, the local forum members all get together and take me out to dinner, they wine and dine me, I can order anything on the menu and money is no object and all because they want to know my DETAILING SECRETS-UNBELIEVEABLE! It is truely amazing how low some of these people will stoop just to find out one's PERSONAL'S!
BAD, BAD PEOPLE!
