I emailed the president of the company this morning asking for us to meet in the middle on salary. And i asked for clarification. I got great answers from him and he even complimented me on asking good questions.

So....yeah. This is the first job I’m not leaving in an angry huff or due to a contract ending. I’ve got my goals and I’m building a plan to achieve them. Feels weird. In a good way, of course, but...huh. Never quite been here before. Mom and dad called and weren’t surprised. I still feel like I don’t deserve this but...here I am. We shall see.

Thanks for the support on this wild journey, Oppo. I’ll post updates on it as I develop car wash soaps and car care products. I might need some.....test subjects ;)

If you wish, post cars driving off in the sunset. This is not an easy group of co-workers to leave behind. And there are good aspects to this place. But I think the world parted some seas for me. The least I can do is take it.

Right on! It’s important to move into new opportunities. Too easy to get comfortable somewhere. Good luck at the new place!

I have PLENTY of cleaner formulas from this job that we never capitalized on. What do you need cleaned?

Those butterflies are there to tell you you’re doing something significant. Change is always scary, but this is good change.

Hmm. Engine bay is the worst. Baked on oil and grime. I don’t know what kind of products you designed, but while I had no problem doing a decent wash and wax with Meguire gear, I’m sure there’s better to be had, and I never really experimented with sealants

Ideveloped a very eco friendly degreaser. It’s water based and would be best if you sprayed some on while the engine was cold, let it soak for a few hours, and then spray again. Its designed for taking oil and fat stains out of boat kitchens and the engine bay of inboard boats.

What metals is it safe for use on and how abrasive to paint?

Test subjects? I like free things. Count me in. I’ll test your soaps on my G35.

Safe for all metals. Non abrasive to paint that has a primer. There is a mild acid component that I found does not like certain one-stage paints on plastic trim if left to sit for too long.

Yeah. It’s hard to keep perspective on this but those close to me have been doing a good job of helping me stay grounded. And it sounds like my new boss and I will communicate on a pretty even level.
