I’ve been a car nut since my early teens.

My Dad had a Dodge Dakota that was given to me when I started driving at 16. I made it as cool as I could for the time and loved it because it was his. I learned a lot mechanically about cars from him, but his standard wash routine included hard sponges, dish soap, and newspaper drying….crazy now right?!

In my quest to soak up all things cars I religiously read MotorTrend, Car and Driver, SuperStreet and any car content I could get my hands on. The dream has always been to have my own garage to work on builds and projects.

I’ve been designing that garage in my head for years, so when we bought a home, an oversize lot with space for my shop was a must. In my search for garage layouts I stumbled upon detailing. The prospect of brining a car’s finish back from the dead instantly intrigued me. I received a dual action polisher in 2018 for my birthday and have been detailing ever since.

I found Larry from AmmoNYC and Matt from Obsessed Garage on YouTube and have been diving deeper into the rabbit hole.

I annoy the wife by calling out paint swirls in parking lots and I’d be happy to correct yours!
