She still has swirls.

That is one of things tackled at detailing meets anyways

I live in Virginia Beach, and I know of several other detailers in the northern VA/ Northern N.C. area. Can anyone think of a central location to use, should this happen? I would suggest my own home, but I want to avoid making anyone else drive too far.

I`ve been interested from the start but have not responded until now. It looks like you were planning a March date but are now pushing back until April.

Click on this link to see a Google map of Richmond, I-295, and U.S. 301. I can come from Maryland down U.S. 301 to a nearby location, such as the Memorial Regional Medical Center or the Chickahominy Bluffs-Battlefield Park (click on the plus sign on the map to enlarge in order to see the park).

This is ONLY a suggested meeting area.

Please put me on your buddy list for PM updates. Thanks,

Charles

Anyway, I was thinking along the lines of:

Rotary skills

Wetsanding skills

Bowhunting skills

Paint chip repair skills

Engine cleaning skills

and Cage fighting skills.

Oohhh... take out the bowhunting and cagefighting, and I have a perfect canditate to practice the rest on!!! My car!

The roof has 17 holes from the crappy factory roof rack I took off, with a bad bondo job by me. I have a door with a BB shot in it, so the paint has come off there and needs some work. Quite a few nicks across my hood, and I have an oil leak on the back of my engine.

And I want a new paintjob anyways..

But before I get her painted, I want to get some practice in, so I can keep the new paintjob looking fresh and clean.

I already wetsanded through the clearcoat in one spot trying to take out a scratch. I used the philosophy of "don`t wetsand unless you are prepared to repaint" when I did it.

And I`m definetaly down for a meet. :wavey

Who`s calendars are empty in April?

I`m out of town for the weekend of the 15th.

Any weekend in April is fine with me. :bounce

Have you guys found a place to do this yet?

If not your welcome to use my new place in bethesda, MD. It`s pretty central to a lot of people, I don`t have a garage but I have a large driveway that can fit a bunch of cars, could be enough space to detail 5-6 cars at a time. I`m also pretty close to the beltway.
