    I've found a lot of talented folks on here. Sadly, I can't turn a wrench to save my life.
    What I do bring to the table is my love of detailing and making clear, brilliant paint.

    Here is an example...

    If I can help with any questions about keeping your "Pride and Joy" showroom new...
    Please feel to ask in the https://www.tundras.com/forums/detailing.66/ section.

    I've been at it for about 15 years now. It is a love and a passion. I've done new car, show car and concours. I've become pretty darn good at paint correction and I'm happy to share what I learned over the years. Thank you for the welcome!

    That image stirs some memories... I left Miami in '88, but I crammed a lifetime of living into the 4 years I was there.
