Pun intended?

Fair enough, a well organised post would probably meet everyones needs in the same way, just need someone to be prepared to try and keep it tidy

Can I comment? - Too late

A Cleaning and detailing area would be good, however there are obviously going to be a few draw backs (for example me having to negotiate ANOTHER section!! jeeezzzzz) but I think it would be useful to many polish avoiders.

There is a chance of a few repeated threads but surely this is a good thing? They won't be repeated forever and will fade out with new content being brought in, but it will get the area going (everyone knows to avoid the dead area! 'Mines on order' for example ).

I have just got the bug of detailing, after claying my car and slding stuff down my bonnet as it is now smoother than smooth GLASS!!! (like cloths and pads...not babies and engine oil...) and would like some more info on what to do and techniques etc like how to remove swirls, without having to sign up and troll other sites.

I think also, instead of a new area entirely, maybe a sub area inside the Forcourt? As it is generally going to be lots of pictures of various states of paintwork.

Also, I know there are not THAT many people (compared to other sites) into detailing that would lead to such an increase of demand on the server.

I know I am late but thought I'd just post up and show some support

(P.s I also know you said no already - It didn't say no forever though hehe)

im registered on ST-RS but keeping up to date with one forum is enough for me. If one does go live on ST-RS then i would however make use of it.

Thing with ST-RS. People have different names, and it is so quiet, I post and forget about it!

Plus I really don't like the layout!

I dont even have my car atm and will be rather busy this weekend

Possibly, and this is a very unlikely thing but i may do some friday night if i can get in the garage and under some light, just to be able to show the difference in hand + machine application
