Cool, is there any kind of "registration" or cool to just show up? Some groups seem more particular about that stuff than others.

For what it's worth I'll mention two other events:

There's a very Porsche-centric C&C at the Northbrook Marketplace @ 1805 Unionville Wawaset Rd. in West Chester on Saturday mornings.

Also, PCA Riesentoter Region is holding a new member breakfast in Allentown on Sunday the 6th - Invites were presumably sent to any new members & requires an RSVP

Thanks for the heads up - surely there's some kind of master calendar out there or aggregator of these events... ? maybe a business oppty for someone, sell some sponsorship to make a few $ for the effort.

Anyone heading down to the CF Charities event at Wells Fargo this Sunday?

Heard some rumors of a possible rendezvous in KOP before we run down to the stadium! Look forward to seeing you all there.

Hello Philly & CEPA members. I'm looking for recommendations for a quality detail shop. I work at a dealership on the Main line, and recently had my wife's Abarth detailed at our "in house" detail shop. The work was "acceptable" (on par with what I can do myself); I wouldn't call it great. The interior mirror had smudges, the body colored dash face still had "product" residue/streaking on it. I found a French fry under the seat, there's a cloudy residue left on the outside mirrors, and the door jabs weren't touched. Also whatever the tire dresding they used is now all over the side of my vehicle.
Basically I'm looking for a place that won't overlook details like these. I'm looking for a place that I can trust with my 996 and a place that knows what they're doing.
I'm local to Ardmore, but I spend a lot of time in Lancaster Co. as well. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

There's only one place in the area that I'd go to. The work they do is next level.
https://museodetail.com/

They detail multi-million dollar concur cars. The photos that they show are WAY undercutting what they actually work on. Drew Coblitz takes his Singer 911s and other exotics there too.
You can get a better sense of what they work on via their IG feel @museo.detail

When I was at Modern Elix for my PPF (they're in the same building), there were cars there that made my head spin! R8-V10, Murcielago GT, 550 Barchetta, 575 SuperAmerica and a Lamborghini Diablo Evolution GTR!

+1. Menard's is outstanding. Just got my car back after level 2 paint correction and ceramic coat - I could not be more pleased! The ABM looks fantastic. I will post pics later this week, but Menard would definitely be worth the drive IMO.

Thanks again for the heads up on the Pottstown event. I ended up here around 7 or so after dinner and saw an incredible variety of cars, trucks, hot rods, you name it. Here are a few that stood out. I also saw what I think is the same maritime blue GT3 parked up at a fabspeed event last year. A huge event and would recommend anyone check this out next time around. Lots of american cars and some bikes as well.
