Detailing Workshop - An Melbourne Members interested?

[Hemi57]

Hey everyone, I spend a little time on a forum dedicated to Car Detailing - http://www.autopia.org/.

In the US Meguiars Car Care Products regularly run workshops on car detailing for Professional Details and Enthusiasts and I have approached the local Meguiars distributor here in Melbourne, Professional Detailing Supplies P/L out at Campbellfield, to see if the also conduct these workshops. They have done workshops for Car Club groups and are prepared to do a workshop for me if I can organise a group. Anyone interested?

It would be on a Saturday starting at 9:00am and finish around 1:00pm. They will demonstrate the different products, how to apply/use them, how to get the best finish and machine buffing techniques. Another benefit is, once you have been on one of these workshop you have a link into them to get special pricing and advice.

Not sure the cost, which is dependant on the number of people, but it could be <$50.00.

Hemi57, i would love to but i am in the car game myself, and Saturdays are impossible for me to take off . That sort of thing really interests me but unfortunately i will have to say no. If it can be arranged for a night session during the week it might make things easier for me. It's very nice of you to make such an effort to organise such a thing - good on you .
Cheers,
Shane

Once again you've gone above and beyond Hemi57. Thanks for your efforts. Count me in. Just let me know when and where

I would be interested.

Is the shop do Meguiars products only? I was thinking to polish and wax using the Zaino products because I heard many good things and saw many very good pics after the use of the Zaino.

[Hemi57]

bezita, yeah, they only do Megs but you would get to see the techniques that would work for any product.

From what I read on Autopia, Zaino is hard to beat. Top stuff.

Okay, it appears the starters for this are:
Domenic
Spock1
Bezita
Arnold (who PM'ed me)
My Nephew Ben (HSV GTS)

The date I have picked is Saturday 6th May as they are booked out by Car Clubs for many of the days between now and then and I wanted to avoid the GP and long weekends/Easter. Hey maybe I will have the SRT by then too

Arnold if you can get a couple of your mates to come along it will reduce the individual cost. The bottom line cost is $200 for the group so if we have 5 attendees it will be $40 each. If we get a couple more the individual cost comes down.

6th may sounds fine by me. i likely won't have my car by then, but hey my wife will love her jeep getting a little tlc.

[AussieHemi]

Hemi57, that date WOULD have been perfect for me. I'm on holidays but just remembered i have my girlfriends sisters wedding that day ! Oh well, i guess i will just have to miss out this time. I'm spewing because it would have been a great chance to meet you guys. Maybe next time.
Thanks anyway for making the effort of organising it.
Cheers,
Shane
