Show Ready Detailing started in 2006 from a conversation with a friend back in 2004. My friend asked what I had done that past weekend, looking at my hands noticing they were blue, and asked if I was working on becoming a Smurf. I laughed and explained to him that I waxed my blue Blazer over the weekend. So why the blue hands, he asked. I explained that the blue wax covers up some of the small scratches in the paint. He laughed and asked me if I wanted to REMOVE them. I therefore laughed and said yea right. Thus began the Meguiars OnLine Forum talk. From then on we discussed Meguiars wax, sealants, polish, and other cleaning products. From there the hobby began. We would order product, share product, give feedback, read the forum, and got pretty good at detailing cars. My dad then purchased a 99 Corvette. For fathers day we spend 8 hours detailing it. We entered our first show and received second place (we believe we would have received first, but our trunk was closed, thus the judges were not able to see everything). The next year we entered again and receive first place. The hobby then became expensive as I was buying more product than I needed, but had to try everything out. Friends then began to ask to help them with their vehicles. When the vehicle was done, they were amazed and said I should start a business. And thus Show Ready Detailing was born.
