NEW GROUP request for detailing

just been thinking it would be useful if there was a place where we could just discuss detailing.  i really enjoy making my car look fantastic and also find it really useful to hear other folks opinions with regard to products they use and recommend,  or not.

To be honest, my initial reaction was also to suggest that there were other forums with the information on (and frankly with much more detail than we could hope to match on Xdrivers); but on reflection I think I would rather take advice from people on this site.  So, for example, if X5Sport said he used a certain product, that would count very highly to me than if half a dozen strangers on another forum recommended it for their Corsas or Clios.  Similarly if 535dboy said that his man Friday used a certain product, that would be one I'd think about too.    In summary, there are voices on this forum whose views are respected by many

If a separate section wasn't created, then I guess awj85 you could hope to establish a "sticky"?

Let me discuss internally about this.

benstan - i would rather too personally here from people on here about their recommendations/reviews/products to avoid rather than someone from a much larger forum.  here it is a much smaller personal forum.

pvr - if you have any car detailing products going begging i can PM you my address.  :P
