When we've cleaned every car in America :laughing:

Probably in the evening or whenever Dave kicks us out.

I'm going to be at the shop by 8:00 am on Sunday morning, so it starts at 8 or anytime after that.

As for it ending...It's kind of like the American Legions do it....we close when the last guy leaves...

I have worked at night and even over night many times so we'll just wing it on the end time.

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.

Putting my $0.02 for a request - please bring the steamer, etc :)

I can put it through a tough test haha!

Dang...I'm going to have nightmares now.

When I spin around with bloodshot eyes and chunks of hair missing, and bellow from the top of my lungs...."GET OUT!!!" :dblthumb2:

Kidding (sort of)... I'll definitely bring the steamer for you to check out.

Whatever you have in mind for Saturday, I'm game. If it's "DA Boot Camp" where I get to learn the ropes on an old panel you have lying around, that's cool.

If you cannot fit it in please do not worry about it! you'll have enough stuff to bring.

I know you have my phone number Andrew...But...this is exactly why I encouraged folks to click my signature link (website) and write down my phone number or save it to their cell phones.

Colt the Bolt will no doubt wake me at 6:58 am with stinky dog breath kisses, I'll make my coffee and check out the forum as usual and then I'm game for the first arrival on Saturday, just give me a call and let me know you're ready or on your way and I'll be there.

I also have that same steamer at the shop so there's no reason for him to bring it other than to have more than one on board that day, which shouldn't be necessary.

It dawned on me today that I am going to spend all weekend getting my car as clean as humanly possible, then proceed to drive it home on the PA Turnpike for 90 minutes where it will become absolutely gross again. Ugh...

Maintenance will be covered on Sunday night, yes? :D

I see a lot of Waterless Wash in my future.

I see very few maintenance washes coming to me. When I see a car or a van in my shop it's usually teetering on needing a restoration more so than a detail, so I do my best and get it done.

The attendees coming to the event will be your teachers as to maintenance washing. I've learned a thing or 2 on the subject over the years despite not specializing in it.

Good Luck with the class Dave. Looks like it's going to be a good turnout

Ahh i apologize, missed that on my phone.

Yes, we will not have a need for two. :)

I will bring a quart of DP rinseless wash and gloss for you.

DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss, no rinse car wash, concentrated no rinse wash, quick detail spray, waterless wash (http://www.autogeek.net/dp-rinseless-four-in-one.html)

You shouldn't need more than that after your ride home :dblthumb2:

Well, with the paint correcting talent that will be present (everyone else more so than me) we'll get your car sorted.

Do we know what LSP we're going to use for the Mustang?

WG under 845 (your new purchase - great combo) or other?

I apologize if this has been stated already.
