Detailing meet for Ohio / KY Autopia members

Autoeng · 06-05-04, 07:45

This thread is to gauge the interest in setting up an Ohio / KY Autopian meet in late July somewhere in the Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky area. I would like to invite Scottwax when he is making his return trip to KY with his kids.

I would like the meet to be a demonstration of Scott's techniques in exterior / interior care / rejuvination, general tips for detailing, PC use, sharing of business tips and I could do some information on interior repairs (such as seats, carpets and headliners).

Please indicate your interest in attending the meet and any suggestions that you might have to make it a success. We would also need a location so if any have any suggestions or thoughts as to where we could hold it (preferrably a "closed on the weekend" business location that we could have access to water and electricty) please mention that as well.

I'm going to send Mike at Meguier's a PM to see if a rep could come as well.

A definite "maybe" from me.

Sounds good. Let me know the location, date, and time.

I should be up there in late July. I have to get my kids back in time for high school football. I am also anxious to see how VM/EX-P/#16 holds up on their Mom's Explorer and #80/VM holds up on their Grandmother's Cadaver...I mean Cavalier. Different climate, vasty different washing techniques (if at all!) so it should be a real good test.

Once I get the date nailed down, I'll let y'all know. It would be great to meet some 'fly-over country' Autopians. Maybe Jimamary (he is in Indiana) could also attend?

I'd be there!

Sounds kool!

I'm a couple hours of Cincy, so I'd be interested.. I probably wouldn't know if i could attend until a week or two before, but....

Sounds good to me. I live in Indy, so it would be a short drive.
As far as location, there is an annual Miata get together in Cincinnati that they have at the Owl overlook in Winton Woods park. It's a convenient location with tons of room.
Keep us posted!

Sounds like a good time to schedule a trip back home to visit the family in Louisville, KY.

Great response so far. Hope that a few more chime in. We'll await Scott as to his prefered date. I'll be contacting a few detailing suppliers to see if we can get some samples and maybe even a door prize or 2!

Rickindy, would there be any access to water / electricity at that location?

i'd definitely be interested, depending on the date
