I'll call them today and see if a factory tour can be arranged. How could they say no? Unless the factory consists of an old tobacco barn with three old guys whittling and spittin between short bouts of putting labels on bottles.

Brandon, if I offer up to DG the 8th, 15th or 22 (all Saturdays), and we settle on one of those dates soon, I hope that will let you have time to plan a birthday bash. Thanks for offering the detailing palace again. And a demo/sale from a CG supplier would be great.

The DG place is a big place. I have been there a few times to pick up some products. Never talked with Bill or Jerry but I am going to make it a point to next time I am there. I think the commerical line of products were made for removing tobacco spit and such. lol

Brandon, Sept 12th huh? getting old dude! Ya'll - I may be out of town the weekend of the 15th - my daughter turns 13 and wants a party (at Myrtle Beach)

What bout the 22nd? That would work best for me.

I can give the CG's supplier a call. He does not work for CG, but sells some of the stuff along with Shining Monkey, One Grand, Wolfgang, Detailers Pride, etc. He says he will come out no matter how many people we have.

I kinda like the 22nd, if not at the duragloss plant, it can be at my place.

It looks like Sept. 22nd would work for me as well.

Brandon - the car show in Youngsville is the 22nd, I know it ain't as big as the one in Henderson - but it might be fun to go to. What about the 29th - every weekend that goes by - the weather SHOULD get nicer. Just a thought.

Brandon1 · 08-19-07, 05:13

29th should be ok, to be honest, september is a really busy month for me and I may not know if I will be attending till the day it comes.

Damn the car show in youngsville. I just thought it was going to be some hick town show, so I took my '55 chevy (a good lookin car from 10ft, not up close) and was parked beside a testarosa and a maserati.

Let's trick out the Tundra and take it - oh wait, you've already done that, why don't you take it. It IS the cleanest truck that's ever rolled down the road. C'mon, let's go - chance for some fun and eye candy too.

Brandon1 · 08-21-07, 10:16

Heh, yeah maybe. I think I probably would not get an award. I was going to try and see if I can teach a detailing class there, but I dunno.

So the 29th is ok? How is the Duragloss thing coming along Sherri?

Sherri Zann · 08-21-07, 02:23

Well, I called two days in a row, was told that my message was given to a "vp," and haven't heard a thing since. I'll call again tomorrow, and I'll shoot for the 29th.

BTW, stopped in for some DG soap to United Auto Parts in Durham today, a local parts place at the corner of Broad and Club that stocks lots of DG. They didn't have 105 or AW, and I told them about it. The owner said that about 10 years ago, DG got rid of its own sales force, and they haven't had anyone from DG say boo to them since. They get no news of new products, etc.

Brandon, go work for those fellas and show them how to shine! They've got excellent products, but the promo is pitiful.

Hey Ya'll, I spoke with the guy - Jeff at Majestic Solutions and he said they wanted to do a detailing clinic soon, the main thing was after this wonderful heat wave passes by. I'll tell you, this heat is tough on an old fat boy like me! I hope Sept brings in some 80 degree days and lower humidity.
