Harrisburg international about 10 miles away, Baltimore Washington International about 50 minutes away. If you'd found your way the whole way to either, I'd drive out and pick you up.

Is that $490 each way? Think you'd need more than 3 weeks to raise that amount. Start driving now and you'll be here by the 12th..Im the MAN

With that flight plan, you'd be arriving at the airport after the event already started on Sunday. It'd be a bit awkward if people were showing up for an event and the host was off at the airport and not there to greet his guests. How about a Friday night flight with a Monday return?

That's a nice list. What's the Extractor Pre-Treatment all about?I really got that for my wife's Forester. This week I bought a decent vacuum and steamer and plan to hit her car hard when the weather warms. Since I'll have it I figured I'd bring it along.

What does the Extractor Pre-Treatment, pre-treat? I assume it pre-treats the carpet and not the extractor, no? :laughing:

What steamer did you get?

I may have the CM8801fn by that time as well. if you guys want to check that out as well.

But I will bring the IUDJ/CG APC+

Only window I get streaks a little on is the front. But I go over it again with a clean MF and it usually takes care of the job. But im sure you have a few tricks up your sleeve.

What steamer did you get?I picked up a McCulloch MC-1275 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DF0RB/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I've been watching this on Amazon for days and grabbed it once it went on sale.

Yes, the pre-treatment is for the carpets! :)

I don't have an extractor but I read the stuff works just as well with a steamer. We shall see.

I'll bring my camera if anyone wants me to shoot some video of the event / process?
The Best Pre-Wash / Snow Foam 2014 Bilt Hamber Surfex HD - SON1C Synopsis 70 Review - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyAyU1reGZ4)

Drew, That would be great if you'd shoot some video while you're here. I encourage anyone with a camera to shoot as many photos or videos as they wish, and to post them in the follow up thread of the day's events. But to all photographers and those shooting video, please respect this one guideline...

Any products not sold by Autogeek will be welcome at the event but will not be showcased in the photos of any thread I put together to be posted here at AGO.

I'm really glad you're coming up here Drew!!!

Yeah, I was going to ask if anyone had a coatings thickness gauge, I'm glad you mentioned that because I'd forgotten about it.

Glass is the one thing that's just always a multiple step process for me. I really don't think there's a magic bullet there in the price range I'm willing to operate in. I do pretty much what you've described.

You'll know for sure by the time you're done with Wifey's Subaru.

I have that same steamer, it works well for me.
