I have honestly never met someone who is as busy as OG is right now! I don't know anything about his trim gel release though. Hmmm, maybe at this point it'll debut at the Dragon??? (sorry Brendan... that'll mean you'll have to make it to the Dragon afterall!)

Hey all I'm here,

Yeah I wanted the gel to be released at AMVIV, but I didn't make it. I didn't want to compromise the final product by rushing, ya know?? But testing is done and complete, and all the materials and components have been purchased--it's on two tracks right now. The manufacturing of the product is happening this week, and the labeling is being designed by our bottle designer to be completed sometimes next week. I expect everything to come together and be ready for sale by the end of the month. I will definitely be bringing product to MOTD for sale there.

I'm also in production of my OneGrip and PC Guard PC accessories. Also I'm having to remaster my How TO DVD for it's next manufacturing run--time to make some needed updates to it. But today I spent the entire day processing orders and I still haven't finished--got a boatload of cars arriving tomorrow, sooo things are still kinda uhm, hectic?

Oh and don't forget, those in the SoCal area, I've got my Saturday Open Garage this weekend... Hmmm did I forget anything?? Ohhh, this is the Hydro Club thread.

Yes, I'm a HUGE fan of Hydro as you know. My Jet Black thanks Prima profusely for maintaining the great look with minimal effort on my part! I've got cases and cases of Hydro here at the shop, so my goal is to ensure every owner of a black car that I work on owns atleast two bottles of Hydro this year.

Thanks, Ken. And welcome back to you, as well ! Even though you left the country, I'm thinking my trip covered more miles than yours ! In fact, I was very close to where you live, I believe.

on skunks and chasing racoons?

i have to travel not this week but next week and the following week,
and probably the following week and, etc. short trips for me but lots
of back and forth via plane. :impatient you never know where

Bah, I was gonna ask you to order me a wash mit to save on shipping . But since I don't know when I'll be in Eldersburg (where ever that is) again, I guess I'll just have to order $100 worth of stuff and get free shipping .

On a side note: Hydroed (over month old Epic) today, and boy does it look GREAT!

i had this little ding next to the gas cap on my legacy which i didn't
really care to fix that urgently since it wasn't that big....but since using
Hydro that ding was popping up in the radar like FIX ME, FIX ME NOW!
so fixed it over the weekend.

there is a side effect to Hydro it seems.

Yep, YOUR area... Bloomington is just a hop, skip, and a MINI drive from the Chicago area !

And yes, I am going to Hydro over the Epic. We'll see if water will simply sheet off Bergey then. I'm not sure if I like that idea though. I'm old-school and actually like to see a car bead up.

Sorry... would have been glad to save you the shipping charges had I known, my young friend.

And what's this ? You don't know where Eldersburg is ? It's just a few miles outside of Baltimore... out Liberty Road (Rt 26). Right by the Liberty Reservoir.

Yep, order a hundred bucks worth of stuff... should be easy. A gallon of clarity and a gallon of Hydro should do it.

CR&PW- bloomington! statefarm is there.

Hydro beads water very well too. You should see how small or large
the beads are based on the size of rain drops. if you stream the
rinse the water just rolls right off.

I'm in LOVE !!!

My order of Hydro arrived around 1:00 today. By 4:30, I was washing the MINI and spritzing it with Hydro. At first, I thought I had been ripped off and Heather snuck some peachy perfume in my bottle ! But as I began to dry the car off, WWWWW... that stuff is every bit as great as kenchan has made it out to be !!

My MINI looks even better than it did three weeks ago when I used the PC on it ! The color seems brighter, the finish is swirless and slippery, and I love the fact it can be sprayed on glass and plastic.

Yep... I'm not sure what's in that stuff and I don't really care. I just know I'll never open the cabinet in my garage again without seeing a bottle of it !

And yes, I'm like a Good Neighbor !
