Detail Day, March 19, Brad's house

Hi all,

Going to have a detail day at my house this Sunday.

Start at 9am to ?

Good time to wash and wax prior to AMVIV. Everyone is invited.

I have very good carwash soap, but you will have to bring the rest of the stuff yourself.

I live at 5477 N. Bond, Fresno. I'm only 1/4 mile east of Porky's, area of 1st and Barstow.

See you all Sunday

Brad

They MINIs will probably need another bath when they get there. It has been raining a lot here in Norcal. Hopefully it will cease as the trip arrives so that my car will be clean.

You don't want me washing anything. As my luck lately, we're bound to have a big storm, and this close to AMVIV, that isn't good. A clean car or truck in the fleet around here may cause rain, power outages, and deep snow in the foothills. Usually, within hours without warning from the media. Hek, I washed a car yesterday that didn't belong to me, and look what happened.

But anyways, I'll have to see how the rest of my week goes. Sounds like fun.

And just a reminder, everybody should check their tire pressures. Right now, right now the temp may be in the 30-40 degrees, but by the time you get to Vegas, that could possibly change.

Brad,
I am tempted to drop by just to watch you all wash the MINIs...I have a ton of schoolwork to do, but if I can spare a couple hours, I'll stop by.
Cheers,
Michele

You can always wet her in wet weather. (Whether you can weather the weather depends on whether the weather will allow her to wet well.)

Will that work?

I actually detailed my car with the Meguiars Deep Crystal three stage system, yesterday. The shine and color are amazing, Dark Silver Metallic is the best color, I am sure Blake will agree. It took forever to add and remove the 3 coats of wax, I am glad the MINI is a small car.

What will you guys use to clean the black pillar covers on both sides of the windshield?

Now Blake will drive back up here and get it all dirty again. How does he get his school work done? If we don't get some good weather soon, my tires are going to get flat on one side. I want to run out to my fav winery one of these days.
