Any SCN members fancy coming?

A friend and professional detailer has just fitted out a unit for himself and we are running a detailing meet/open day there on the 29th November, start time 10am. Location is near Redruth in Cornwall. There will be broad range of people there from newbies to pros.

Products and Demos
Some of the things taking place:
Plenty of advice from pro detailers and enthusiats.
Product demos and the chance to try various products out yourself.
Machine polishing demos and opportunity to try yourself, we will have several different machines.

Cool, Helston isn't far at all. You'll be able to see all the services that Dave offers and if you have a word with him I'm sure he'll give you a price to do the car.

That's a shame. Bristol is about 100 miles from me and the meet location is about 70 miles further. But it is an easy drive :D, it would be M5 down to Exeter and then A30 all the rest of the way.

Sounds like a great day.

Just a shame it's so far away.

For those of you who are fortunate enough to live near this event should take full advantage of it. The advice you can pick up alone is invaluable not to mention the products that will likely be on offer.

Just a quick bump for this, see if anyone else is interested. :)

[Rubbish Boy]

We had an Astra VXR to start with. It's a regular car that Dave @ Authoshine gets to work on and it was due a Zaino top up.

Next one and the one that was here so that everyone could have ago with a polisher of some sort. Alfa Romeo 147, it had a few swirls and body shop induced buffer trails to get out.

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/Rubbish_Boy/meet_20081129/20081129016.jpg

I think just about everyone did have a go at polishing. We had just about every polisher there, Kestrel, Makita, Flex, etc. And loads of different polishes on the go.

It got waxed with a coat of Original Edition, applied by the owner who got stuck in too. He hadn't detailed before, I gave him the pot of OE and an applicator gave him some very brief instructions, scuff the wax, applicator in, give it twist, do a panel, nice and thin. And he did a marvelous job.

And we also had a VW Golf that need a quick freshen up. Mark V Glisten mixed (80%) with a drop of Mark V IP200 (20%) buffed with the rotary using an RB soft finishing pad. It then got topped with Supernatural V1.

It was a good day, I think everyone enjoyed themselves and it was a great location for a meet.
