Called you about my van!

Dragonflyer,

Yes I have a MINI, but talked to you today about my van... I'm going to hussle and make some decisions this weekend, and contact you again Monday about ideas.

...Cause I just realized this install party was a bit further off than I thought, though I understand it's close for prep for you, and don't know if there'd be time to create before then, much less install Fri? or whenever.

In any case I'll come to firm idea and contact you Monday about whether that's feasable.

Mark

Excited YET?

SHOOOOOT, I was excited when you said "Is this right" (talking about the design) That was over a month ago! HA!

Plus, now that we added the Solar Solutions and Randy Webb, the excitement it just too much to bear!

p.s. on bustedtees.com there's a shirt that has a picture of a man with furry bear arms and beside it, the words "The second amendment" is written. Hilarity.

What should we do in the way of cleaning our minis prior to graphics?

If someone is Zaino'ing, I'd like a lesson!

I think you have to strip the wax before applying any vinyl on the car.

This is what Mike replied in regards to wax..

"Don't wax. but claybar would be great. I take to ribbing alcohal to the surface before apllying the stripes."

Anyone know if there is going to be a place where I can wash my car nearby?

Let me rephrase that. Claybar removes improfections in the paint. The cars 'don't need to be washed but it would be nice. I spray the areas down where I am applying vinyl with alcohal/water mix to remove wax buildup and clean the surface.

Cheers

There's a place about 2 minutes or less from where we're gonna be at. I'm pretty sure they're open on the weekends - you have to pay for it and depending on what package you decide, you get a nice sparkling clean MINI. When I did the integra right before I sold it, it was $80 for a full interior/exterior clean. And it was EXCELLENT! I ended up giving a full $100 ($20 for a tip)

There's also a few do-it-yourself ones nearby. One about 8 minutes or so up on Rt. 1 and another one off of Rt 1 on Contee Rd. I'll see if there's more and try to get addresses.

Oh and BUMP! Less than 2 weeks away!

Mike- can I watch?

Do you mind if we stick around a bit and watch? I know I am a 5 hr slot, so I doubt I'll hang out the whole time. But do you mind if I hang out a bit?

Sidenote: A friend (non-mini) got his tinting done by Carlos last week (extended the deal price to him - a bit more since not a mini) and he is so happy with the tint job. Said carlos did a a great job.

Feel free to hang out.

BTW Carlos called me today. He has a guy right next to him that is a detailer. The detailer is offering a great price on detailing for the mini folk.

Call Carlos to get more info on this.
