Southern Ontario Detailing Meet

So, I have had some feedback that a few would like to get together to do some detailing and learn form each other. I am happy to put an event together and bring my gear for others to use. I know someone else offered their gear as well.

So how about this...meet for breakfast somewhere, maybe a short cruise, then spend the rest of the day detailing. We can chat in advance about what supplies folks might need and see if we can get a group discount from eShine.

Questions are, who's in, what dates, where?

If we are looking sometime in the next two months, only May 11 and 18 work for me.

For location, we will need access to power and water...and it needs to be softened water as hard water is next to impossible to wash properly with.

If we want to have it at my place, that works as I have a double driveway and the neighbors on each side also have doubles which we could use. Located in Waterloo. If you want to have it elsewhere, no worries as long as we have access to the above.

Throw some thoughts out there.

Awesome idea and I could really benefit from learning from those who know what they're doing. Unfortunately, those dates in May won't work for me, as I'm moving to a new house on May 16th. I'll keep an eye on the thread to see what you guys come up with.

Great idea Mike.
May is not great for me either.
How about June when the weather is a little more reliable?

...venue is a tough one.
We did this for one other car group & one of the members had access to an industrial unit.
He has since moved though.

No worries, for June I can do the 8th, 22nd, or 29th.

Maybe we can rent an industrial space for a day. Let me ask around. It would be a better option to be indoors for it.

Sounds like a fun day. I'm in. Will wait for the final date. I am fairly flexible.

Looking forward to learning more. I have gear I can bring as well.

Happy to travel wherever.

I have a 5 bay industrial garage at my disposal... I could likely get Shining Monkey or Croftgate out if there's enough interest?

Sound great Caddy. Don't know if we want to bring product manufacturers in though as it kinda forces us to use their product.

Where is the shop?

Hey guys!
I'm a big fan of the E86 and will look into purchasing one in 2014. (after I buy a home)
Would it bother you if I would join you all for the detailing meet, even tho I don't have an M coupe yet?
I would really like to know more about the cars and cleaning/detailing will surely be useful in the future.
Thanks,
Vax

Hi Mike
Are roadsters welcome? Bought an old z4 last year, took it out of storage last week - just couldnt wait any longer to drive it again
I have been scouring the boards for info on detailing and would love to join the group. I have a lot to learn from you younger guys.
Anytime would be fine since I am retired. Just let me know the exact time and place.
