Thanks, but don't want to go into all this serious stuff. Moreover if I go its embarrassing to go and not want to take it up seriously then always have to decline offers. You know lah, all the "free" training and workshops are actually free but at then end of they day they try to "push" stuff or further courses. So since i'm not wanting to be serious about it better not waste other peoples time and effort, then I also don't feel so guilty. hahahaha
But thanks for the info/offer. Maybe some other day in the future.
Have NEVER needed to push anything to anyone. Plenty of enthusiast have come to our clinics....
Even our very own
eohl79 has attended as well.
We do cover the theory of how to properly maintain your car and we do demonstrate what can be done with our products. No one is EVER compelled to buy anything and many don't either....
EVERYONE is welcome to drop by anonymously and see if I'm telling you the truth.
There seems to be no free lunch out there... All those detailing clinics (or even hospital
) out there has an agenda in the end. They would only showcase their own products and their own system - who wouldn't if they are selling it? Duh I say. So most of them are biased in a way. How many people out there would do an unbiased detailing class or show how it is being done? Such thing would usually only happen in some detailing groups where people openly and freely discuss techniques, products, tools and even have a great time together. ZTH detailing forum is pretty much being driven one direction from what I see. Even Mike Phillips from Autogeek would have to showcase the products that Autogeek sells.
Oh yeah, one thing for sure I just realized our very own real deal detailing expert and guru Darren Chang has written several unbiased detailing articles in "The Star" newspaper and his articles are available online for FREE in The Star motoring section. Just search his name and all his articles are within reach. Here are some:
Art of the wash - Star Motoring - Car news, reviews, previews, classifieds, price guides
For that glossy look - Star Motoring - Car news, reviews, previews, classifieds, price guides
SearchGeneral - Star Motoring - Car news, reviews, previews, classifieds, price guides
Noticed that bro Darren did not even focus on an ultimate/god like product brand to use. The understanding of the problem in detail, techniques, tools to use, etc is paramount.
Actually the ZTH forum is free for anyone to post anything.... Anyone can post how they carry out their details with whatever products that they have.
BUT for whatever reason, most detailers don't post any of their work and even less post their step-by-step guides on how to use the various products. If any some just post their work after it is completed.
As my buddy KC likes to say, "Show Me Your Work!", indeed...
The reason Darren doesn't promote any products or tools is because he doesn't sell any products or tools but, BUT he does sell his reputation and service.... which is what he is getting from writing those articles in the Star. :-).
No free lunch there either. :-)
hahahaha i find this so entertaining this thread like action tv series. Just like I read all the comments between the Korean car lovers and the Japanese car lovers battling it out via forum posts and statistics. Very entertaining lah. Good way to get people to read the thread.
As so me I pledge no allegiance to any brand. I use what works at a reasonable price and willing to try anything. I use OC2.0 on 2 cars, I use DG, Osren, Megs and Mirka. Why because those are the stuff I could find locally. basically I think that each company has their goof products and not so good products. So i choose the good products from company "A" forget about their not so good products. Like for E.g. Megs OTC stuff to me is not to my liking. but doesn't that make Megs a lousy or terrible brand no. Some somem people like to generalise and make the mistake that is a few of the products are below their standard all must be crap. I don't like Megs OTC stuff but i think they make a great range of pro level polishes. Just like I think DG makes great maintenance products but their polishes aren't that great. So for me I mix and match all my stuff. I use what ever works to get the job done.
I leave you with a great quote which I learn't from a great teacher which thought me about cars which led to working the auto industry my whole life.
"The Best You Know Is Only The Best That You Have Tried"
I fully agree use the products that you like! They all work!
Its just that some are easier or more effective than others. The only thing is..... it could get expensive trying everything before deciding which is the best. :-)
At the end of the day, we are just sharing what we do and more importantly
how we do it.
Anyone else can also do the same with any other product....
* Perhaps eohl79 would like kick things off by contributing a productive post on a detailing product or technique which we all could benefit from reading?
