copied my post from AGO:
Folks, DO NOT miss this next year!
I know that I speak for every forum member who attended today when I say "Thank you" to Max and everyone who made Detail Fest possible. This is a first class event.
Not your average weekend car show/detail meet, it is obvious that Autogeek spends months on the planning, logistics and coordination of Detail Fest. Mostly, the plain old hard work required to pull this off is impressive. (Meghan, get some sleep! And, yes that is a compliment! LOL!)
If you're concerned about getting your money's worth, fuggetaboudit! We received so many free products that both an Autogeek box and a Griot's bag were required to haul away the swag. Then the individual manufacturers also kick in some great samples. I'm guessing that I'm $150 in the black on the day.
Hey, free stuff, what's not to like? But that's not the best part of DF. I talked with friends that I see maybe only once a year. I met for the first time some "old friends" that I've known on the forums for years.
I had a chance to speak with people from about a dozen different auto care products companies... owners, inventors, chemists. DF is like a grad school seminar in detailing.
And the cars... WOW!
Thanks again, guys. I really enjoyed it.
