More to come!

Meet the manufacturers, take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Autogeek facility, and learn the latest detailing techniques. You’ll see detailing demonstrations and you’ll have the opportunity to show off your own detailing skills on site. Wash stations and plenty of power outlets will be available for your buffer. Food will be available from Sandy Hook Deli.

For anyone interested in Professional Dent Repair, we will have Ding Inc on hand showing us their skills of removing dent, ding, creases, and hail damage! Dent Inc is located in Florida on the west coast but they do travel!

We will have a pro detailer from South Florida, Dennis Kelly doing demo's all day. Many of you might remember Dennis from Detail Fest 1 and 2. He will be showing his skills with the rotary and proper technique on detailing.

While you are sitting and enjoying your lunch we will be providing music from a live band. Nice Jimmy Buffet style music accompanied by a steel drum.

Jim and Doreen will be masters of the ceremonies again this year. Helping to hand out all of the great prizes!

They are handed out to those signed up, towards the end of the show. We hand them all out at the sametime and it is announced at the show.
You cannot just show up for the goody bag it is for those show signed up and attending the show only.

Meghan,

I saw the Meguiars training class starts at 8:30 and ends at 3:00.

What is the start and completion time for Detail Fest expected to be?

Just trying to see if I should fly in the night before or that morning and if I will have a chance to visit some friends after Detail Fest.

As always, thanks for everything.

Hotel is the Holiday Inn, if you want to reserve a room please contact me asap. You cannot call them directly, you have to be put on the list first. So if you need a room email me your name and what nights you need it for.

What time is Detail Fest start on Saturday, if early in the morning, I will come in the night before and stay the night, if late morning or afternoon, I will probably fly in early that morning.

Also, what time do things generally wrap up at detail fest?
