Introduction

[turbomangt]

Well, most of you already know me, but for the sake of all, I will tell you a little about myself and how this came to be. Like all of us here, I fell in love with the PT Cruiser from its introduction.

I decided to wait for more power, so I ordered the Turbo as soon as my dealer was taking orders. That is what brought me to this board.

I guess you might say I'm a veteran member here already. I feel this forum is the best around, many helpful people willing to give their time to help others. During the process of making modifications to my car, I found the people and the advice I recieved here priceless. Since I lack mechanical skills but have some detailing knowledge, I tried to give back as much as I could to help in what I knew something about. After time, people started coming to my web site asking me questions, to which I was glad to respond.

Jody felt (and I agreed) that it was time to put up a detailing section. I accepted the responsablity to monitor and run it. I think it's a great addition to the forum. I also wanted to lay out some guidelines and outline how and what topics will be discussed.

Most of you know I also sell a product line through my web site. Let me assure you this will NOT be Gary's Product section. I want everyone to post everything about whatever products you like, dislike, or have questions about. I do have a select group of followers already with my product line, but I don't want this section to revolve around me or my products. I only started selling a few items to help people have better choices for getting high end products at discount prices. My business focuses heavily on education in car care. I teach detailing at various facilites (even junior colleges), and I find satisfaction in helping in that regard. So if I can help by offering great products, and people like them, I'm happy.

I know we have a Zaino group, Mothers, Meguiars, Zymol, and on and on. EVERYONE CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING in regard to detailing and car care. I don't have all the answers either. Many people on this forum have as much (or more) knowledge about paint, body work, even detailing than I. I know this section will be a success, because everyone here contributes with a positive attitude. I thank Jody for bringing this to the table and I'm looking forward to some great topics. Gary

Hey, Gary turbomangt, IMHO you were overdue getting "your own mini-board" on this great forum as you have made many professional car-finish/detailing contributions in recent months which have helped everyone maintain a [u]perfect auto finish</u> on their Cruisers. For that, we all thank you, and look forward to the good advice/information that we will be receiving from you [8D] in the future. [^]

Time to "tip your hat" for your fans...

To Gary "turbomangt" and Jody, a BIG Thank You for making this happen. It helps make an awesome forum even better and just think, we don't have to hop all over the place to find the needed detailing information when we need it. Keep up the good work![8)]

Yea, this is great! We should all give Gary a big "Thanks"!! Let's not forget that he has his detailing shop, classes and other obligations that need his attention, not to mention his family. In addition to all that, he answers lots of e-mail and now moderates this forum. When you put it all together it tends to spread your time a little thin. Gary is very devoted to helping as many people as possible, which is evident by his commitment here.

Thanks Gary! You to Jody!
