Just wanted to say thanks to Sin MINI for meeting me at my hotel today to try out the latest version of the trim gel. Had a great time chatting and talking MINI as well. =) Can't believe we got hassled by security for applying the gel though, lol. Guess I got lucky when I washed my car in the same garage this morning, lol.

Was a good time. Thanks to OG for dressing up my trim. With the Vegas sun we should get a good stress test on his stuff.

Yea, the security guy was funny. Apparently, the Stratosphere has a contract with a guy to come in and detail cars in the parking garage one day a week. I'm guessing the hassle had less to do with security and more to do with competition.

PSHHH. OG could blow any Stratosphere Detailer out of the water.

Competition. Theres no stinking competition.

If anything they should have seen the revival of the trim and hired both of you on the spot.

Liberal doses of Octane will be a start. But don't worry, the response has been fantastic, but I'll find a way.

Simple solution: just throw out all of the losing entries & concentrate on mine

Octane - lots of the later suggestions are not on the list on the first post - Are they all included in the judging?

Good luck on the new sauce! Can't wait to try it...

Don't worry. The number of entries far exceeded what I had imagined, so I kind of gave up on updating the first post. Every entry will be considered. The silliest of the silliest will be filtered out first though.

Thanks for asking though. I think I will be closing this list off a week earlier than originally anticipated. 3 weeks left till AMVIV, 2 weeks to close the list, but with so many to choose from, I'm going to need more than a week to process and produce, so I will make an announcement to keep running this thread for one more week, then start the major process.

As I said before, I will do my best to filter them down to the top 10 and let them be voted on for the final 3.

Friday 8AM PST

OK Great Thread!!! 2626 Views with only 144 posts. LOL. The cut off for this contest will happen tomorrow--Friday at 8AM.

With all the names mentioned here (I'm going to have to filter out any that might be considered copyright infringement or inappropriate--so please don't be offended if your entry does make the final cut) I'm going to need time to sort the names.

I'd like to thank everyone for their contributions and wonderful ideas---you've given me tons more work than I ever expected, but that's a good thing!

The next phase will be to choose the top 15 names which I will do and then these will be posted for voting on. The top 3 names will be counted as the winners, and one of them will be the name for my new product. Good luck and thank you!

Richard

Hey! That's too close to my favorite entry of the Best Damn Trim Sauce Ever!

Hey, OG - are you any closer to picking the top 10? I am just dying to know what this stuff is going to be called!
