Default *Update Oct.1 9am*Detailing Tips and Tricks

The track season is over...Time to get the car ready for next season.
I will be offering a How to(Q&A) at my place.
I want to get some feedback on best time/day to have this shindig.
I was thinking a Sunday around 9am.
Please help me figure this out and let me know how many will attend.
If any of you(Andy E) want to bring products by for an evaluation/comparison, that would be great!
thanks
Dwane

Ahh yes. The master will display to us his secret methods.

BTW, I never had a chance to wax the Cayenne this spring......are you into waxing a big black SUV? I'll supply the wax. Heck, I'll even wash the P!G for you!

Actually that would be a good platform to demonstrate how aggressive you can be with products and NOT damage the paint!

If you ever need a hand I already offered....

What I want people to take away from this is:
-How to wash your car properly
-How to Clay to decontaminate the paint
-How to choose pads and machine speed
-Demonstrate the difference between different wax products
-Demonstrate the difference between swirl marks and paint marring
-Demonstrate wetsanding
-Demonstrate repairable/unrepairable scratches
-Paint touch up

I really want everyone to learn something....It should be a great experience.

Would prefer a Saturday - in fact, we're off to RR IV in Monterey on October 7th.

How about Saturday October 1st?

Cheers!

Hey,
I doubt i'll have my clutch replaced in my 911 by then ,how about we detail my F150 ???
I haven't washed it since last Fall so it would be a good candidate

Cheers !
Phil
