Short Bio on Matt Gibb:
“In 1992 I purchased my first car, a 1989 Suzuki Swift
Upon buying this car, I decided that it would be important to maintain a car extremely well that I paid cash for
So I started looking around at what products were available to wash, polish and wax my vehicle
I settled on Meguiars consumer range and weekly I would wash and wax my car and polish it in summer
I met a professional detailer that year also and he was the one that taught me the basics and got me interested in detailing as a living
Naturally what he taught me back then is old school and obsolete now but if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
