Introduction to Detailing Day



I went down to Shinearama in Altrincham yesterday to get a few bits and bobs that I needed, as always I got chatting to Paul and the subject came up of doing open days for car clubs.

Basically Paul has agreed to do an open day at his workshop, covering the basics of detailing. I've been to one of his open days before and I have to say, it's always a good day, and usually very hands on, they encourage you to have a go, which I find a great thing! The guys there are all really friendly and prepared to answer any questions you have. They have a shop there too, and everything is very very well priced.

I will be setting this in stone with him Monday/Tuesday but it will be going ahead no matter how many of us turn up.

Who? Anyone, from new starters to the experts are all welcome along.

What? The day will cover the basics of vehicle detailing, starting with the principles of cleaning and what everything does, working through the stages, up to machine polishing which will be covered also.

When? Sunday 29th April. Start time tbc, usually around 10am.

Where? Shinearama Workshop, Altrincham. See map: http://g.co/maps/4byqt

I would thoroughly recommend coming along to this if you have the time, everyone will be able to take something away from it, even the experts will be able to benefit from it. If all of that doesn't swing it for you, there will be Bacon butties and a hot drink for breakfast, all of which, including the day, is completely free.

Hope to see you all there, stick your name down if you can, just so I can let Paul know closer to the time how many people to expect.

Just a heads up for anyone coming as well, Paul usually does cash discount if you're looking at buying products from the shop (not online). However don't hold me to that. If you're thinking of buying anything bring some cash and I'm sure Paul can advise and do you a nice little discount.

Looking good so far :D
 
Yeah Jon is right, it is always worth taking cash with you (there are no cash machines nearby so bring it with you) if you are thinking of buying anything.

Just spoke to Phil, everything is organised and ready to go :)

Thanks for organising this event for us on the forum. I've booked you in for Sunday 29th April, 10am-1pm. I'll follow this format but let me know if there is anything in particular that you would like covered:

10am tea/coffee/hot chocolate
10.30am bacon sandwiches
11am snowfoam pre-wash, two bucket method washing, claying, drying
11.30am inside for taping-up, introduction to machine polishing, paint depth readings
12pm compare waxes and sealants followed by questions and answers

It's an informal day and the times are just guidelines. The event is totally free to attend and we will have a show and shine competition for the best car.

Kind regards,

Phil
Shinearama Limited
