I'll be there for a while. I have an autocross that day, but it looks like I will be running in the afternoon so I will go get setup, then join the party for a while, then get back for my runs.

I will be there, you can never know enough about detailing your car.

If there is anything from our web site that club members would like me to bring along, let me know (info@americanminimates.com) and you can save on the postage. I will also have a gift for all attendies.

Doug aka Zinful(American MINI Mates) has offered to bring his truck to the clinic to let us work on it. It is a red Chevy S-10, so lots of flat panels to try out different products and the Random orbital on. Being red, well sort of, it is a perfect colour to do this on. By the end of the clinic we should have it back to RED, and contaminant/swirl free

I did this to my Dakota a few years ago,





Thanks Doug, now I won't have to figure out how to haul body parts in Poco

Are you guys ready? It looks like after all this bad weather, there should be a lot of Minis to detail

Look forward to seeing you this coming weekend.

Mark.

I herd it's gonna rain

[sil3ncer7]

Screw the rain..

[lotsie]

We can do stuff inside if it rains. My plan is to show different detailing techniques. Washing, claying, applying products by hand and with a machine.

The idea being that anyone can learn the basics of how to detail their MINI. We can share tips and product info.

This being a clinic, the point is not that your MINI gets detailed, but to show folks how to do it.

This event will go rain or shine.
