Just to note....

The first Tech Session this Saturday will be on how to correctly restore the paint on the 2008 Mini Cooper.


I'll be sharing,


Waterless wash
Baggie Test
Detailing Clay
Orbital Polishers
Foam Pads

After the Tech Session, myself, Bobby and Yancy will be at the Autogeek booth right out front to answer questions and let people test out tools...

Sorry I will miss this!
A suggestion for your travel - don't get on I-4 if possible! Use 528/417/408 from I-95 and drive thru downtown O-town. And I can highly recommend stopping for lunch at Bad As's Sandwich, a little east of downtown and on the way back to the 408 (East-West Expressway).

Ahh, these ones are my bread & butter details. Actually, if it had New Zealand licence plates on it I would've guessed it was a local car.

Mike - this will be somewhat of an Extreme Makeover for this Mini, it sure looke like the perfect before & after vehicle & perfect for showcasing how awesome us detailers are! :buffing:

Have fun team.

A chance of a traffic issue. It looks like it's supposed to finish nightly work BY 5 am. (I-4 Ultimate Project website. Construction Map | I-4 Ultimate (https://i4ultimate.com/construction-info/construction-map/#constructionAlerts). I hope this is outside link is ok with the moderators.) Also appears minimal work over Easter weekend.

I hope to be there.

Thank you to both of you!

We don’t want to be late.

We’re leaving the Geek at 5:00am - we should be good.

So you join our forum. Then put your spam links in your Signature Line and think no one will notice. Here's a screenshot of your spam links, werid thing is your links go to a furniture website. To be honest, you would have better luck selling furniture going through normal, honest business marketing strategies instead of spamming a car detailing discussion forum.

Hang tight while you ban yourself.
