I detailed my first car when I was fourteen (a mere five and a half decades ago) it was a 1929 Bentley that belong to my Fathers friend Brigadier John Dix of Kensington, London. If, as they say, "God is in the details," then a 1929 Bentley is truly a religious experience. I knew then that detailing would become a passion and my méetier. It has always been a relaxing past time for me and while at college I had a part-time business detailing classic vintage cars. From there to Concours d’élégance entrant then judge, and then on to writing car care articles and How-to: instructions, then writing a series of books on my favourite subject.

Haha man to be honest for awhile I thought you were a robot or computer because everything you wrote was so proper and so informational hahahaha
I've been a Chem Engineer for four plus decades and tend to write 'factual' type copy. But I am human and to prove it I often make mistakes. Hopefully my article help detailer's understand not just 'HOW' things work, but also 'WHY' they work, as well as an explanation of the scientific terminology and chemicals involved with detailing products.

togwt, which books did you write? I assume your favorite subject is detailing so I am interested to read more. I don't think you are robotic at all. I read too many memos, documents, etc. that could use more facts and less fluff. Keep up the good work.
