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

Has anyone contacted this Zaino guy in Charlotte to see if he would be interested in coming and perhaps bringing some discounted product?

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

Alright guys, I have put a super clean on my shop, and seems like we got some food and drinks comin.

I am still looking at the weather, still calls for rain. I will probably move my truck to one of the other garages so we can have plenty of space for everything. Unless I decide to use my truck as a test bed for detailing.

I look forward to meeting everyone. Oh, and by the way, I will put a couple of signs out front that say "Wiggins Builders" on them, that way people dont drive by the house 2 times to find me. And remember, the detail fest is in the rear of the house, just keep straight on the driveway past the main house. Park anywhere on the gravel, grass to the left and grass to the right.

See yall tommorow about 10:00 or so!

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

You missed a good one! Let's see - for me the highlights were meeting everyone, trying wool ( and loving it!), seeing what the UDM could do, and the replacement for clay - I'll let Brandon write about that - it was his new product to try. It turned out really good, I hope we can do another and there was some talk of getting Majestic Solutions to do a detail event at their place. I know several people were impressed by their products. Thank you Brandon for hosting, we all appreciated your generosity.

I thought it was a great success. I have tons of pictures and even a little surprise "cool thing" that either myself or my brother (SamxP) will post up.

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

Here's my little demo, wet sanding my trunk with 2000 grit.

Basic steps were:
Wetsand with 3M 2000 grit
Meg's #4 Heavy Cut with wool pad at 1800 rpm (2 passes)
OP white pad on UDM (2 passes)
Topped with DG #105

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

I've got some more time lapse vids on the way of the UDM and Rotary on the hood of the Dodge truck. In the meantime, here's a shot of the crew posing by our guinea pig...

Great to hear the meet went well, keep it going quarterly! I'd be interested in seeing what Majestics has to offer.
