Talking New member here.

Greetings all,

My name is Dustin as I own a mobile auto detailing business in Phoenix, AZ. Was told by a friend there's quite a bit of useful information on this forum.

A quick run down on myself: Been into cars since 1996, owned all Mustang up until recently when I traded in my '04 GT for a newer Ranger truck to makes things easier for my business. I've always been pretty open minded as far as other car manufacturers, and will be picking up an 01'ish C5 at the end of this year. (Heh, as long as it's domestic right? )

I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of questions and what not months prior to picking up my 'Vette, so be prepared to be annoyed.

If some of you have questions pertaining to detailing your car, or what I can recommend as far as tackling certain tasks (or if you live in AZ and want your vehicle detailed), feel free to ask me of call me.

My information is in the sig. Also feel free to check my website out, lemme know what you think.

Anyhow, just wanted to stop by and say hello.


- Dustin

As a matter of fact, Meguiar's actually has a compound called 'Swirl Remover', you can either apply it by hand, orbital or high speed buffer. That's what I would recommend. Meguiar's actually makes a really good claybar as well. I would recommend to claybar the whole vehicle prior to attempting to remove swirl marks.

All the products I use, I get from a place called 'Right Look' (no correlation w/ my biz) out of San Diego.
