Yes I would be in favor of more aggressive moderation. When individuals begin to dominate a site it looses it's interest for others. Have seen this on numerous detailing sites.

Sites that are moderated keep these types of individuals away from the site and the truly interested people out in the detail cyber-world participate.

Please do moderate.

What the detailers in SoCal face is much different than say some one in Buffalo, NY or Dallas, Tx.

Really, that is real shocking. Gee, I never considered that.

With all your years spent in this field . Why can a hack like me find a solution to swirl marks , but you cannot?

In 1989, I started mobile detailing , and never did anything else. I learned what worked by trial and error because there was no internet. Now, there are detailers trained by forums and quickie courses who bring this business down by cheap
prices and cheap work.]]> detailer Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts Thu, 13 Sep 2012 03:12:11 +0000 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44516#msg-44516 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44516#msg-44516 Floyd Mequiar, who I worked for, Finish Kare, allowed me the time to go out and do so, he said I needed to learn other than in a shop, etc.
I also did all the set up and training and servicing, for 9 of Anglo American auto auctions while at FK.
What the detailers in SoCal face is much different than say some one in Buffalo, NY or Dallas, Tx.
I have spend many, many weeks, months, years, working in the field, with mobile detailers, full detail shops, port operations, body shops, pre-delivery operations for Chrysler and Ford, many different assembly plants, etc all across this nation, as well as other countries around the globe, from Europe, to Asia, to Central and South America.
It is part of learning what they have to deal with so I could be an asset to their businesses.]]> Ketch22 Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:31:18 +0000 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44514#msg-44514 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44514#msg-44514

Ron

You are a dumbass for one reason. You have never done mobile detailing for a living, and what you do understand is that some jobs are not possible or profitable without a shop. Why dont you shut up ,and stop acting like an authority on detailing. Doing body work and painting is what it is , but it is not detailing,]]> detailer Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:54:23 +0000 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44508#msg-44508 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44508#msg-44508 And an affront to every dedicated professional detailer who work to learn and practice the craftsmanship of true detailing.]]> Ketch22 Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:44:24 +0000 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44504#msg-44504 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44504#msg-44504
We just don't care for your constant attempts to lead those who do wish to know how to handle the entire detailing process down a path to one product, and your attacks on paint correction

You do not care, but others may. what goes you the right to speak for other people.

let alone that I don't think I have ever read a post from you regarding the handling or correction of stains in the interiors, damaged exterior trim, stained or corroded wheels, etc, etc.

Stains either come out ,or they do not. Sure, you can dye the carpets,but that is it.

Damaged or stained trim are not really in the area of detailing. Either is corroded wheels.]]> detailer Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:30:53 +0000 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44501#msg-44501 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44501#msg-44501 We just don't care for your constant attempts to lead those who do wish to know how to handle the entire detailing process down a path to one product, and your attacks on paint correction, let alone that I don't think I have ever read a post from you regarding the handling or correction of stains in the interiors, damaged exterior trim, stained or corroded wheels, etc, etc.
Then there are the other concerns such as poor bodyshop paint repairs and what to do, what components of various marketed car care products may actually be damaging to the vehicle, etc.
The list goes on and on, a true professional detailer has to deal with such issues everyday they go to work.
All of which are what a true pro detailer has knowledge of, or they spend time to seek out documented answers, so they know there is more to the detailing business than AT5 and your rants about an old product that has had it's day in the sun.]]> Ketch22 Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:15:10 +0000 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44496#msg-44496 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,43681,44496#msg-44496 -------------------------------------------------------

Let start with you David and Ron. Your outright abuse and rotten language should not be tolerated. You should be allowed to act like thugs and control what you do like to hear.
