We need a reasonably good estimate of the number of cars and people attending, so please reply here if you plan to participate.

Thanks for posting about this event!

I just spent the last hour re-reading detailing posts on MCO, and was going to PM you to see if this event was still happening. I'm pretty sure I'll be there, clay bar in hand! :smile:

 

I'm looking forward to the session! I've worked with Steve before on a couple of PT Cruiser projects and it's always a fun and informative time!

 

Look forward to working with you! The total count so far is 7 cars.

Here is the hotel information for any of the out of town MINIs that will need a place to stay.

The hotel is the Wingate Inn on Speedway Blvd. at exit 49 at I85. It is a great place to stay. We used the hotel for the Charlotte Kart Outing several weeks ago and all that stayed were pleased. Speedway Blvd. has Concord Mills Outlet Mall and about every place to eat you could want.

When making your reservation just mention the group MIN one and your rate will be $59.00. The phone number is 704-979-1300.


If there is enough interest maybe we could do a dinner together after the seminar. There are plenty of places to choose from on Speedway Blvd

Wingate Inn

 

There is still room for a few more cars to participate. We do need a reasonably firm count by mid-week so that final arrangements can be made. If you were thinking of dropping by particularly to learn about clay bar, we should be on the first car with clay by 9:45 or so. It doesn't take long to clay a Mini...30 minutes or less.

Import Paint and Body is on the left going out of town on Independence Blvd. Useful landmarks to help you find it are: Beck Mercedes, Hendrick Lexus, and Rhodes Furniture. Use the left turn lane at Rhodes to make a u-turn followed by an almost immediate right to Import Paint. Call the number in the signature block if you need more assistance.

 

Just wanted to let you know that we're still "On" for this event...rain or shine. Please bring an adequate number of towels, at least 4 or 5. If you plan to use a product other than Zaino, kindly bring your own. Zaino will be available for those who wish to use it.

Look forward to working with each of you!
