Why would we mind? It's great to have you all....make sure he reads the sticky!!

I can appreciate his interest. Some call our OCD Detailing lifestyle a problem, I prefer to call it more like pride in what you have. Why not keep it looking good, that's why we buy it right? This stuff ain't cheap, so take care of it.

Look at it this way, you won't have to worry about keeping your truck clean. Gotta start em young. Just watch out he may want to start gettin some products and put a hole in your wallet. Happens to the best of us.

Wow... going straight to the rotary? He must have wet sanded the hood with 2000 grit prior to starting?

I bet his product 'pick up' technique is precise! I see NO splatter!

Nice!

Hey, it's all good...I'm only 16 and I've been into detailing since I was about 12.

I still remember washing with dish soap and waxing my mom's PT Cruiser with the cheap Turtle Wax in the green tub and buffing with terry cloth. I wish I knew about a forum like this when I was that age. Detailing cars will teach him respect for the things he has later in life, such as when he gets his own vehicle. Anybody who takes pride in their vehicle's exterior is also sure to take much more care of it overall, increasing reliability and resale value!
