Well another year under wraps, we clogged the road ways, caused a backup all the way to I-95 and had a BLAST!!! It’s always fun to sit back and think about all that happened in these two fun filled days, but this year all I can say is it was AMAZING!!! The crowd was absolutely insane, I have never seen so many Detail Fest fanatics and it just makes us all so happy that everyone had an awesome time.

So many people to thank and I am sure I will miss one but I am going to take a stab at it…
Dennis Gage from My Classic Car, you are always so ready to jump in and meet your fans-Barry Meguiar host of Car Crazy, you are a true gentleman and thank you for the amazing prayer to start off Saturday- Bruno Massel and Matt Steele with TruckU, love you both to pieces you always make us laugh and have no problem jumping in to assist with anything- Wayne Carini host of Chasing Classic Cars, we love that you like to get out in the field and talk to all of our people they truly appreciate it-John Greviskis host of Ship Shape TV thank you for supporting us and coming out to the event! Velocity came down and did this show like no other, they were here in numbers and showed their support!

As for Vendors, well we have some of the best! 3M, 303, Black Wow, P21s, Covercraft, Dodo Juice, Duragloss, Ecklers, Einszett, Flex, Griots, Grit Guard, Intro Tech, Lake Country, Mothers, Meguiars, Sonax, Menzerna, Optimum, Poorboys, Premium Finish, Rupes, Raggtopp, Solution Finish, Shop Vac, and Southern Pride Food!

And to all the car clubs and individuals that brought out their beautiful cars to the show, our parking lot was so beautiful thanks to all of you. I have never seen that many amazing cars in one place in a long time!! Keeping them all shining and we will see you next year.

And to our sponsors, we cannot do this without you, UPS you “delivered” every year, helping us put this event on and bringing in your cool UPS “rides” to the show. I really want that UPS golf cart!! And Meguiars I have to say you all were awesome, thank you for the sponsorship and all the support, your crew rocks!

They have given us 110% for several weeks and this weekend they were beyond amazing! You all rock and I can’t begin to mention every name but I will try to get the bulk!! Barbara, well you keep me on task as always, she is the one that makes this so organized, Joann did awesome with vendor support, Jeff made sure the orders were moving, in our vendors tents we had Andre, Ray, Bobby, Todd, Nick, Bryan doing an amazing job, Mike Phillips in the Show Car Garage teaching away, in Cash & Carry Danielle, Penny, Will, Trey, working hard to keep your orders coming, order pickup for manned by Kristen and Izzy, Chris was running orders for us, Nick did amazing on our tours, Jen was assisting the Meguiars Rig, Brittany was all over social media, Melody taking care of Silent Auction, Mary in the car show registration, Jason, Scott aka KillerWheels, and Mike in the laptop station, Yancy doing the video and live feed, Pat McCall manning the judging, Jill taking care of our vendors, Kendra assisting with orders in Vendor booth, our fine parking crew, Todd, Jonah, Jim, Max, Erik, Anthony, Jim C, JJ, Alfonso in the washing station, Chris G on all of our trash, Jason as door man for classes, and in the warehouse working we had James, Steven, James G, Lucas, Michael, Anna, and Sean and then there was Travis who did whatever I asked him, which was A LOT! To ALL of you I might not say it enough but I am SUPER proud to say you are our employees and so impressed with how well you did once again at Detail Fest. And last but not least my two partners in crime, Jason you did an awesome job preparing this for event and keeping me sane, and to Max, you never say no to us, you always keep the show growing and you plan like no other, it’s a pleasure to work with both of you to pull this event off, so thank you very much!
We are all very blessed to have this great event, I know I missed some thank you and I apologize but I am beat and mentally not at full charge! So thank you all and hold on to your seats because next year is going to blow you away, even more so then this years!!! Don’t miss Detail Fest 2015, it will be our 10th year anniversary!

Thank you again everyone!

Meghan, please don't count yourself out. As always you are an amazing force with all you do at AG. I am so sad that I missed it this year and on god's good graces I'll be there for sure next year. Meeting all of you at AG is on my bucket list. Thank you and all the AG staff for your countless efforts and for all you do for the industry. You people keep it so exciting day in, day out.

It was my first and certainly not my last time to Detailfest, having travelled all the way from Calgary, Alberta to take in the festivities. Thanks for putting on a great show AG!

It really just warms my heart to know how many traveled so far to join us. I spoke with one gentleman from the UK he said this was his second year traveling to Detail Fest, all I can say to that is WOW! Loved meeting all of you!

Another great year for sure. This was without a doubt the best Detail Fest to date. Max and the AG staff is second to none and runs such an amazing event. It was so good to see everyone again and make new friends. I can't wait for next year !!!!!

IMHO This was the largest Detail Fest I have seen! My guess is on Saturday alone there were at least 5,000 folks (probably more like 8,000 all day).

All I can say is WOW! Bless you all. I'm sure everyone poured their heart & soul into making this the GREATEST Detail Fest in history! Fantastic job!
