Agreed to terms with TOGWT to redesign his site and create and maintain a vBulletin site. Have sent repeated emails and PMs and all have been ignored. I even warned him twice about this upcoming post but he ignored me. No explanation, nothing.

Personally, I would not deal with TOGWT again. :censored:

TOGWT may or may not be well known here. I simply google searched his name to spread the word.

I suppose more information is required.

I own and operate Apollo Detailing, an automotive reconditioning business in southern Ontario. I provide a lot of detailing advice on forums such as Autopia, Detail University, and Detailing Bliss, as well as many more. I also publish something called, The Detailing Manual and you can find it at http://detailingmanual.blogspot.com (http://detailingmanual.blogspot.com/).

TOGWT is a fellow detailer and writer, like myself. He is currently in the process of writing/publishing his books and provides a lot of his excerpts of his work on various detailing forums and is quite well known.

This leads me to the issue today, TOGWT had a lousy/no website and I was particularly skilled at making them so I offered up my services, told him my price, and he said yes. And I haven't heard anything since.

I google searched "TOGWT" and found he had a profile here so I signed up and provided this little nugget of info for all. He may or may not be well known here. I'm just providing you will the full picture of who TOGWT really is.

Now I find that TOGWT hasn't only been untruthful to me...

TOGWT has been:

1) Banned from Autopia for plagiarizing information from his "book"

2) Banned from Meguiar's Online for posting misinformation (likely plagiarized)

3) Routed from AcuraZine for this exchange:

I guess part of my gist was TOGWTs cut and pastes are in a lot of cases not feasable to a total newbie who is asking a very basic question about claying a car.

I regret that the information I provide is too much for you to comprehend, I won't bother you or this this forum in the future.

Don't know the guy, but I've found his use of blue text and copying and pasting excerpts from what I now gather is some book he's writing to be a bit annoying. Nonetheless, he does chime in now and then in the detailing section. Not sure if he sells anything on this site, nor does he solicit business....
