Question moderators! re: detailing forum/faq

I never had a car this nice before. I want to keep it looking nice.

If you look at the manual that comes with the car, the instructions are pretty far from the advice given here and on the websites of the product mfgs.

It's fantastic that you've made a forum for meets; I plan on attending the Boston meet.

How about a detailing forum or at least a FAQ for us newbies?

You TL crazies have infected me with your illness! My husband borrowed my ride today, and I watched him going down the drive like it was my first child going off to school!

thanks

Leslie

The admins of the board probably have enough to handle already - and they just added another forum
You can ask detailing questions in this forum or the Technical or Install forums - no prob. And if a thread is informative we'll archive it in FAQ.
BTW - I love detailing my TL so ask away - there are lots of freaks here that polish their rides way too much that can give you good advice.

I know how you feel about the TL. I have my TL for 2.5 years now and I still love it like it's brand new. Especially now that my TL is hooked up with some goodies.
BTW, I might head up to the Boston meet.

I think TL Daddy is right, there are plenty of forums already. Hey B, I'm not taking my car if you decide to go, I'll come with you in your car, that way I can bring my DVDs and you can drive

Hey Ed,

It seems that you are as intense about it as I am. My wife HATES the fact that I can "waste" 4 hours babying my baby. Man, she just doesn't understand!

Damn, I think all TL owners should be locked up in the asylum.
People are going to start thinking we're a cult or something.

I think you may analyze things a bit too much.

That is a great question though
