    Anyone interested in coming to Rye Brook, NY for a demo and how-to polish paint and detail a car?

    It will be on a Saturday or Sunday. There are 3 indoor bays and over 100 outdoor parking spaces. I think a lot of people would be interested to see how to use the equipment and chemicals to achieve quality results. Many products you buy sit on the shelves and never see any use because you don't get the results you want.



    I was going to do the demo on a black Audi S8 which will be in need of a clean-up by the time we schedule this event. Or if we have a donor SRT that would be fine also as this particular Audi has Cerami-clear paint and requires a higher abrasive level in the chemicals and longer polishing times than the Chrysler paint.


    Any ideas for an agenda? I was thinking of the following:

    Interior:
    Vapor
    Extraction
    Ozone

    Exterior:
    Makita rotary
    Porter Cable
    Flex

    Washing:
    No water
    2 Bucket
    Grout Sponge

    Sealing/ Waxing:
    Why and how

    I just think it would be good to meet up and see how its all done. I'll keep the "how-to" around an hour and save the rest of the time for Q & A.

    This is an overhead shot of the location. Its the small garage near the orange figure. A friend owns the garage, its right between NY and CT.

    Sweet.

    Or, you could join webridestv and host your video there.

    SRT/C and Webrides are partners. We even have a link to them on our navigation bar. 5over from the left. ;)

    Thanks. Red or Black paint works best for a demo.
    It separates the chumps from the champs.

    i'd come up from brooklyn, and would gladly be the donor vehicle. my black paint has:

    1. swirls
    2. scratch (paint only, passes the fingernail test)
    3. light spots (compound mis-hap)
