Poorboy’s World is proud to announce our Detailing Weekend July 10 & 11 at our West Nyack, NY warehouse. Vehicle space will be limited, so please sign up on this thread so we can get an actual count. We would like to keep it limited to on-line people, from any site.
Please feel free to post this on any other boards / forums you frequent.
One of our goals is to put faces to the names we talk to on-line. We use the weekend format so there is time for personal interaction and instruction. Many people want to share how to use the products and machines to their fullest extent. Individuals and families are welcome!!

Cost
Previous years we had always had no cost associated with our Detailing Weekend, but due to the amount of people who said they were coming and did not even call or e-mail to say they were not coming, and the fact that Pockets and I ate hamburgers and hot dogs for weeks after the last event, we will have to implement a $20 space and food fee to be paid in advance by paypal (poorboysworld@att.net) or credit card.
NAMES WILL BE ADDED TO LIST UPON RECEIPT OF THE FEE

Your $20 fee will include:
1) a reserved parking spot
2) lunch for either or both days
3) Ice cold bottled drinking water all day
4) The full line of Poorboy’s World branded products, except microfiber towels, pads etc...
5) Water source, hose, buckets, and mitts for washing vehicles.
Sorry, no brushes will be provided.
6) A few pop-up tents will be available by lottery style ..not first come first serve ..we encourage you to bring your own tent




Checklist for Attendees
For those of you planning to attend PB (http://www.poorboysworld.com/) Detailing Day this weekend, here is a quick checklist of items that will be provided on-site as well those items you are expected to bring yourself.

-Your responsibilities:
- Upon arrival, Sign in at the registration table and receive a name tag.
-park where indicated in assigned spots
- If possible, arrive with a freshly or recently washed vehicle. While washing implements will be available on site, time would be better spend on other aspects of detailing.
- Provide your own PC, Flex (http://www.autogeek.net/flex-car-polishers.html) and/or rotary buffer along with all necessary accessories such as electrical extension cords, pads, bonnets, wrenches, and connectors.
*A limited amount of machines will be available for sale.
Provide your own applicator pads and microfiber towels.
* Pads and towels will be available for sale
- If desired, bring your own lawn chairs and sunscreen.
- PLEASE LEAVE ALL OTHER PRODUCTS AT HOME
- At the end of the day, please clean up after yourselves.

While many of you may delight in comparing detailing products from various manufacturers, please keep in mind that this weekend is being sponsored by Poorboy's World (http://www.poorboysworld.com/). This is an opportunity for everyone to try Poorboy's World (http://www.poorboysworld.com/) products and get personal hands-on help with our detailing questions. So, it would be considered good manners to stay on topic by focusing our attention on Poorboy's World (http://www.poorboysworld.com/) products for the duration of this event


FAQ Is the goal to Detail Each and Every car exterior?

After meeting and greeting, everyone will be detailing their own car. Some people will be here just for helping others...it's a great opportunity to watch other people and how they get their results. I will walking around and will try to help and demonstrate for anyone and everyone who would like to see a product that they have not tried or are not getting all they want out of their finish.
I'd like to see everyone leaving at the end of the weekend with a shiny car, so we can take pictures and then share with the rest of the on-line communities.



Since we are located next to a body shop, there will be plenty of spare hoods and fenders to practice and demonstrate rotary skills. If this is of interest to you, please make a note of it, so we can gather the parts in advance.

There will be more information as we progress and all suggestions pertaining to the event are welcome

We also need to know if you will be requiring a hotel/ motel room , so we can try and work out a deal with a local and convenient place.

I don't get this ??? Poorboy's is running this ad for there version of Detail Fest on the AG Website but if you show up With any AG Products to prep your car you will be asked to leave the property - this sounds almost comunist ! When i displayed My Car at detail fest I openly preped it with Poorboy's Products and no one at AG had any problem with it. Can someone clarify this for me. Because of that rule I will no longer support Poorboys Products !

it's pretty simple ... We are a manufacturer and are offering the free use of all of our products ... when you came to Detail Fest in Florida you were using your own products of free choice ..AG is our distributor and they also carry over 26 other mfgs, so you are comparing apples with oranges. We intend these hands on detail weekends ( which we have been running for years before AG started theirs) for on-line people to meet and and for those who have wanted to try our products or have been using them to share info and learn from other Poorboy's World users. As an example we had a young girl who had never detailed before, pick up a rotary for the first time and with some help from other detailers, was able to do a black car to almost perfection on her first try, mainly in the sun.
She was more than elated :props:
Hope that helped to clear any questions, or you are free to call me and discuss it further :)

When you say you are a manufacturer what does that exactly consist of? Does Warner provide many of your products? If so do they design them based on your input?

we have nothing to do with them ... we make our own products despite what innuendo or rumors you may have heard :)

Heard them for quite some time, and the similarities to some products are eerie. It's good to know you design, formulate and create your own products has it always been that way?

yes it has ... long story short .. chemists are like chefs, when they change work places they do use some of their past recipes, but when they open their own place, they usually try to make the dishes better and more unique ;)
