    Lightbulb Interest in Chicagoland meet

    After reading a couple posts in other threads about wanting to meet up and exchange products, meet and greet, etc I thought I'd make a thread for it here.

    To starts things off I'd say its NOT going to be a detail day like we've had in the past but rather more of meet and greet and maybe exchange products with others, see how things work (i.e. waterless or rinseless wash) or maybe how certain products work, for example Meg's DUB wheel cleaner for instance. Now I know this sounds like what we've done at our detail days in the past but I can tell you it takes some work to set these things up, sending out email and PM's to sponsors which I'm thankful to to this day (AG. Aerospace 303, Mothers and Duragloss to name a few, not to mention our host Jeff at the Car Cave last year). Just getting someone to donate their shop is a huge undertaking as in most cases they like things to be a certain way and you never know who's going to show up and how they'll respect things. This has NEVER been an issue with our past groups I should mention.

    Ok, with that said, I'd like to hear all ideas as to what you'd guys like to do. For instance, should we meet up at a park and find a shady area and get crackin'? Then go out for dinner afterwards? Maybe someone with a 3 car garage wants to step up and we'd have at it there? Its up to you guys. We really don't even need a donor car unless our host has one and we do that, its up to everyone. I really want this to a little more "loose" but still organized to a point, if that makes sense.

    Alright, let's hear from the Chicagoland area, noobs and vets, speak up

    I'd love to attend, even if it's just an exchange and dinner. Of course, it would be even better to watch some of you seasoned vets display your talents.

    It could also be something as simple as one of the members has to do his or her annual detail and have others watch/contribute and learn.

    Alternately, we can just go to Wild Wings, watch ball game and talk detailing.

    I agree Kevin and the idea of someone who was planning on doing their own paint correction/LSP is a great one. That person doesn't have to have people help per say but could have others benefit from watching them for sure.

    This is a great time for a mass washing while this is going on too, great photo opt as we'll🎥

    Let's hear from everyone on this as we've got plenty of time to make something of this.

    Re: Interest in Chicagoland meet

    IM with you guys. WE could meet at a park , discus various products , and try different products on a doner car. We have a long time to get input from various guys on what everybody wants to do. The last meet was great, but was too much work for Klasse Act to set up.

    Will it ever be warm again? Will our cars ever be clean again?

    Will this snow ever melt?

    I'm really liking the idea of the park for sure, sounds great. I can't wait to see people driving/walking/biking by and see all these people with their 2 buckets and towels and various sprAY bottles and brushes going to town📣

    I have been following this since you started it earlier. I just didn't know if you had something in mind? Unless someone offers a warm shop, I'm staying put until the weather breaks!
