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.

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

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.

**Junebug** · 06-26-2007, 02:51 PM

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!

**GlossyTundra** · 06-26-2007, 02:53 PM

No problem dude.

**danponjican** · 06-26-2007, 02:55 PM

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.

**delikid** · 06-26-2007, 05:26 PM

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...

:up

**MoneyPit** · 06-26-2007, 10:21 PM

I`m 90% certain I`ll be there!

And I`ve got recently hit and runned bumper we can work on. Yay.

I can bring all of my supplies for sampling.

ON a side note, anyone know of any good lawyers to go after this person (don`t ask why I didn`t call the cops).

**GlossyTundra** · 06-26-2007, 11:08 PM

Alright huarache, we will be expecting you there.

I hope we all have fun, anyone gonna bring some food/drinks!

**tomstin** · 06-27-2007, 07:23 AM

Brandon, count me in, can`t get there until a little after 10:00 AM, can bring the PC, Rotory and a bunch of products to play with. Also, had a family party last weekend, have a few extra sodas, I`ll throw them in a cooler and bring them along. PM me with directions.

**GlossyTundra** · 06-27-2007, 08:48 AM

Ok, the weather man is calling for showers and storms on Sat, but whatever we detail we can just keep it in the garage and do it there. The "test" truck will likely be our QX56, unless someone else has anything they want detailed.

So meet Sat. between 9:30 and 10:00, stay till around 1:00 to 2:00 or so? Sound good?

Is anyone having a hard time finding directions to my house?

Not sure... do you have an address that I can plug into Mapquest?

**GlossyTundra** · 06-27-2007, 10:14 AM

Yeah, I posted it up earlier.

1097 Flat Rock Church Road, Louisburg NC 27549.

Once you get on flat rock from hwy 401, you will go about 1.6mi and on your left will be a house with a pond/paved driveway, black mailboxes, 2 rock colums.

Once you get on flat rock from May`s Cross Roads, you will go about 2mi on your right, same deal, pond/paved driveway, black mailboxes, 2 rock colums.

Everyone, the detailfest will be in the rear of the house. There will be a main house, guest house, and then the big garage in the rear.

I`m planning on bringing the red Dakota. It`s full of scratches and scrapes, but the paint itself is good. I think it will make a great `before` and `after,` if we get to it. (And if we avoid photographing the driver`s side, where there is a big dent above the fuel filler door courtesy of the prior owner.)
