    Great news!! Out Motoring have confirmed our schedule for 3 detailing sessions with MINI owner and Griots Garage Detailing expert Sean Miller. These sessions will cover the basics of car washing (you'll be surprised at what you don't know!!!) all the way to properly using a machine polisher and polishes, etc. Sean has worked on site at Griots Garage for a number of years and has is a leading Griots Demo Instructor and knows his stuff.

    "Griots Garage MINI Detailing + Care Care Tech Session + Q&A"

    Here's the proposed schedule for the 3 events:

    Thursday: 2PM (2 hour duration): demo MINI= ???
    - outmotoring
    - scurvs

    Friday: 1PM (2 hour duration): demo MINI= ???
    - outmotoring
    - scurvs

    Saturday: 10AM (2 hour duration): demo MINI= ???
    - outmotoring
    - scurvs


    These sessions will be casual enough that people can come and go as they wish or stay for the whole tech session. We will also need a demo car for each tech session to do a demo on machine polishing if anyone wants to offer their MINI.

    We would like to get some feedback on who is interested in attending each scheduled event so we can be ready. If you want to reply to this thread with the day you would be most interested in attending I'll add you to the list.

    We'll also bring plenty of Griots Garage product with us but will likely also be taking order at MOTD for whatever products you may need and will ship them direct to you after the event if you are tight on space in your MINI.

    sounds good. I will let Sean do the picking if you can have your MINI's available for Sean to review before hand?

    Schultze will be available for Thursday's session if you still need a demo.

    Special note:

    Schultze has the Wet Okole seat covers and they are in need of cleaning; it'd be a GREAT opportunity to demonstrate how well the Interior Cleaner works on them! :Thumbsup:

    Also, his interior bits & pieces have been custom-painted, so it'd be another great demo to show how safe & gentle the cleaners/polishes are for interior work.

    Extra sales pitch info:

    Schultze has custom-powdercoated WHITE wheels. Another great way to demonstrate how effective & virtually effortless the brake dust cleaning/prevention products work! :Thumbsup:

    Jim: nyah-nyah-nyah!

    I wouldn't risk the cheap powder coating coming off and making his product look bad. :prrr:

    oh no! I have drives planned during all three times. I'm beginning to wonder if I've scheduled too many activities and not enough down-time.

    Wow, maybe we will have some sort of event to select WHICH MINI to use on the demos...maybe something with boxing gloves? Maybe a mud pit?
