Okay fashionably late, when would you like to rendezvous?

If you’re taking the ///M, figure 12 minutes travel time at Vmax.

7:15 is good with me!

I just finished washing the M right now in anticipation

We have one of the fastest C32's in So. Cal., the fastest C230 Coupe and me! It's gonna be a fun caravan.

For anyone else that wants to join, we'll be meeting up at the Ikea in Carson (by the 24Hour Fitness side of it) at 7:15am to drive on down!

See you all there!

MJ50 · 04-19-2008, 02:09 AM

Mu9enx · 04-19-2008, 04:47 AM

Enjoyed a day a Meguiar’s learning about paint care and its preservation.

It included insightful discussion on correctly selecting and applying their myriad cleaners, polishes and waxes. I’ve been detailing cars a while, but came away with a far greater understanding of just what a proper job of doing it correctly entails. My 744 silver will be looking sharper before the next time I catch up with the MBW bros.

Thanks to all those who participated, nlpamg for arranging everything, and especially Meguiar’s for hosting an excellent event.

ScottW911 · 04-20-2008, 12:37 AM

That was a great day, spent with good company.

John, thanks for posting the pics. I'm planning on calling Meguiar's on Monday to spend some of my hard earned cash (after my class participant discount) on the goodies we saw and used today.

MJ50 · 04-20-2008, 12:58 AM

it was great meeting u all today (early in the morning!)
i learned 1 lesson today - never take my car to 100% hand car wash...
if anyone seen nice self car wash around my area, let me know...

here are some pics i took...

MJ50 · 04-20-2008, 01:01 AM

thanks for the combined effort to make my hood look presentable; i can't wait to order the polishes and rotary buffer!

lancemb · 04-20-2008, 06:19 PM

nlpamg · 04-20-2008, 09:01 PM

thanks for the pics John, Scott and MJ!

and now, I'm going to end up spending a lot of money on detailing supplies

p.s. what did you pic up from Pep Boys John? I saw you pulling out of Pep Boys on Artesia at around 5pm yesterday...

That’s funny! Honestly, it’s my ‘shortcut’ out of that Shell station. Craazy traffic at that intersection.

Nothing less than the ‘Zone for me…lol

JamE55 · 04-20-2008, 11:57 PM

Nice pics again MJ!

Phil next time detail my car you master detailer you! LOL

ghettobird · 04-21-2008, 12:00 AM

you can sign up at meguiar's homepage but for open class but expect to wait few months...

[180] · 04-24-2008, 11:44 PM

Good class... I'm sure a lot of people learnt a lot that day.

As far as the marketing aspect of it goes, I guess it works - right after the class I went and spent $40 buying meguiars stuff that I didn't need. All good though, I'll just use it up sooner or later.

/shameless plug - I'm going back into the detailing business... if anyone needs their car detailed for cheap let me know. I specialize in paint buffing/ restoration/swirl removal, and I've got the best equipment + a whole lot of chemicals.
