But, last year, he was willing to bring the whole Meg's demo event to Raleigh. But, he was looking for 30-50 people and a coordinated agenda and for people to pay a $50-$70 fee for the demo.

Re: Ok, NC Detail Fest, June 30th!

Delikid, thanks for the welcome! So far as I can tell, I am not an "a-hole." (And when I'm getting close, my significant other lets me know.)

Re: Ok, NC Detail Fest, June 30th!

Brandon,

What kind of air supply do you have at your shop? I have a pneumatic cyclo that I can bring but these things are MAJOR air hogs! It required 12 - 14 cfm at 90psi. It's actually up for sale on eBay because of that reason. I am going to switch to the electric version rather than spend big $$ on an adequate air system. The auction is over in less than 2 days but I'm sure I can bring it for one last use before I ship it off to it's new happy owner.

eBay: Cyclo Model 11A Pneumatic Dual Action Polisher (item 120134680085 end time Jun-28-07 07:11:45 PDT)

I have an air compressor that is about 16cfm and 140psi, but it's running funny at the moment. Right now I am making do with a smaller unit.

I will be putting this on autogeek.net and my tundra forum. I called Majestic Solutions and they said they would love to come, but have another event planned for that day. I am supposed to talk to the owner next time I go and he is going to offer up the Majestic Solutions shop for some detailing clinics he puts on each year.

What is the plan for Saturday? I was thinking everyone being here about 9:30 and talking about products and such. Bring what you like. I may still have that test subject lined up, but Sherri Zann may need to bring her Dakota. If we need a test vehicle, my moms QX56 is sitting in the garage and hasent been polished in a year or so. Minor swirls, nothing major.

I am going to confess, I can detail pretty good, but I am looking to learn about Rotary work and better swirl removal.

Re: Ok, NC Detail Fest, June 30th!

SamXp is also a strong tentative along with me. We will be driving up there in either his M3 or my 99 Cobra. My Cobra is in worse shape than his. Especially the rear wing and trunk. I have some water etching that I haven't had time to deal with yet. It could possibly be a test spot for some of the more aggressive products and techniques.

Products we would bring:
  • OC, OP, SSR1
  • EX, EXP, DG 105, DG 101, NB, NXT (liquid)
  • Moosewax Red Machine Glaze, QW+, DG AW
  • DG 921, Megs Final Inspection, etc.

Tools:
  • Chicago Rotary
  • PC
  • Cyclo 11A
  • Whole bunch of pads, LC CEVS, LC flat, speedy foam yellow, black, cyclo pads...
  • Wool and foam pads for rotary

Re: Ok, NC Detail Fest, June 30th!

Alright, I have alot of products myself, as well as a Makita, PC and LC 6.5" pads. We should be able to test right many products. I am really interested in wool pads for now.

Lets think about doing this from about 9:30-1:00 or so. That should give us enough time to detail and have fun.

Re: Ok, NC Detail Fest, June 30th!

Yeah, I'm looking into wool too, thinking maybe Edge Green and maybe Blue. MS carries them too. AG had them on sale - 2 bucks off, but then you have shipping vs sales tax. Hey, I'm ready to meet ya'll and have some detailing fun. Hope you don't mind if I'm an early leaver - it is my 17th anniversary and I ain't bought a damn thing - yet!

Re: Ok, NC Detail Fest, June 30th!

I may have one more coming (not a registered user or even an avid autopian) but he just bought a brand new Mustang Shelby GT and is interested in learning.

Re: Ok, NC Detail Fest, June 30th!

Brandon1's got our post here and at Autogeekonline about our gathering.

I've posted to Auto Precise, Club Lexus, Detailcity, DetailersClub, G35Driver, nceuro.org, and Infiniti Owner's forums. I've asked people to come HERE to post their RSVP for the gatherin'.

Hopefully, that'll drive some traffic to this post and get us some turnout...
