i would be intrested if you use my car as a demo and you ddo it the eday before dkn

**grant** · 07-05-2005, 03:53 PM

hhmmmm...martin does that mean we're on for friday the 22nd?!

**Ratko** · 07-05-2005, 04:00 PM

is it gonna be in Whitby or do you do road shows?

**MartinGouda** · 07-05-2005, 04:04 PM

yeah it would have to be in mississauga... and if you are serious... sure the 22nd could be good

**grant** · 07-05-2005, 04:10 PM

i'm serious, but the reality is that with all the stuff i carry with me it makes more sense to work from my own garage. besides, if you stay somewhere out here on friday night you are closer to markham!

**MartinGouda** · 07-05-2005, 04:12 PM

WILL YOU DETAIL MY WIFES CAR??pONTIAC gRAND aM>>

**Lfsabch** · 07-05-2005, 09:27 PM

what about painted interiors??? not sure how cleaners will affect my paint

a good vacuuming and unpainted stuff could use a good cleaning especially the exteriror paint, if that could be turned to showroom condition i would be down for that

**grant** · 07-06-2005, 09:18 AM

i don't care what car we use for a demo, i'll leave it up to you guys.

as for painted interiors, i think it would depend on the quality of the job. i think the best route would be a soft cloth & a very mild soap or all purpose cleaner.

is the 22nd a reasonable date for those of you in the east end, or would the thursday be better?

**RN2NVS** · 07-06-2005, 09:26 AM

hey just wondering your qualifications? experience?
also products you use
and what you will be going over in the demo

thanks

i was planning on a full into on the night of, but the short story is...

i've been a new car dealer service manager for years. in fact a couple of you met me at clarington toyota when it first opened. as a service manager, i have trained literally dozens of detailers over the years. when i left clarington, i decided to start my own company and get out of the nightmarish dealership world. i have a retail web site, but the bulk of my work is supplying dealerships with all types of back shop supplies.
the main focus of the retail side of things is the Meguiar's product line, but i also retail some of the cooler detailing tools from my industrial suppliers that are very hard to find elsewhere. there are some great brushes etc available.

as for what i'll cover, i will primarily go over the basics of detailing & the proper tools to make doing a professional job easier & cheaper than paying someone else to do the job for you. at this time, i'm not planning on doing any work with polishers etc, but if there is interest down the road i may incorporate that into an advanced course.

**glad76** · 07-06-2005, 10:30 AM

i'd be up for it. the date seems fine

**MartinGouda** · 07-06-2005, 10:54 AM

yeah.. lets do it at mike's place, lots of room there

**grant** · 07-06-2005, 06:15 PM

at this point, i'd like to work from my own garage. if everyone is happy & there is further interest from more club members, then perhaps i can do another session in the west end at a later date.

**Lfsabch** · 07-07-2005, 04:06 AM

o oo i live so close

**MAT 90GT S** · 07-10-2005, 11:20 PM
