A bit too far of a drive for my liking but I can get discounted detailing supplies at the 3M company store if anyone is interested. We acquired Meguiar's so I have access to both 3M and Meguiar's products-- microfiber towels, washes, waxes, etc etc.

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

I'm trying to decide if I want to do this or the airport run...

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

Take some before and after pics of the cars when they get detailed. Sounds like fun.

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

If I'm not working that day I could probably swing over with my buffer and help people shine up their cars, But I don't have anything myself that's worth shining up.

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

I'm there if my car is ready, which its looking promising! :)

I'll update the list as it gets closer to the date if I am going.

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

I will try and make this, I'll give you a definite answer closer to the date if thats cool.

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

We are down the car is up and running and i don't believe we have any other plans for this day.
I think there is a car show that I want to hit up earlier in the day, but we can for sure join you in the afternoon.

I totally want to wash, wax and maybe even claybar. Whatever I can do to make this thing look good.

Awesome Aaron, glad to see you are planning on making it down, take your time.

One week to go, folks, go time to get those last minutes touches in.. maybe just hangout and swim.. Should be a good time. Seem like yesterday, but last year, helping Michael shine up the evo x for a first place trophy. Talked to Mark, and he plans on bring the evo x down for a repeat. Woot!

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

I'm in, selling my spot at the airport run, car's not in any condition to do that right now. Sitting there and looking shiny, however, game on!

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

I would be interested, my brother is having a baby shower that day with the wife and I need a reason to get out of the house. I would be interested in using the lift and power wasing the underside of my car and then spraying some rubber coating spray if that would be cool.
So show up with the keg's at 10am?

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

Heck yeah, you may use the lift for some underside spraying. Bring on the keg!
:spin:

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

In case you forgot, Anna & I will be there. I'll blow off the dust on the way there and sit in the hot tub the rest of the day :D

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

Love to make it! But Saturday night is all booked up. If it opens up, well make the treck down to chill. You arent too far from us now, compared to the rest of the cities. :)

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

Hell Yeah ! Scheides I have not forgot. Yeah, I may need to swap out the tires on the X and I am ready for the Cookout.


Come on down, there no set schedule at all.. we are going from 10 AM to 10 PM ..pretty much chillin and drinking. Weather forecasts are looking great!

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

I'll probably be detailing that whole time... my car is a mess right now, and I know I won't be able to come close to the job I did on the car for last year. And being out of 105/205 right now doesn't help...

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

I got scheduled to work Sunday, so I won't be able to come help out.

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

I'd like to try and make it down there if I can. I've polished & waxed my car about 3 months ago but I know it could have had a better job done on it and I'd appreciate getting advice on it. The problem is we're committed to a picnic earlier in the day. It's supposed to start at 10am so hopefully I can sneak out around mid-afternoon...

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

Shawn what can I bring? Food, beer, soda, swim suits, lawn chairs...what would be some good detailing supplies to bring? I'll bring my usual spray on stuff, what's a good wax I can get locally?

3. Scheides and Anna

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

Scheides, I planned on buying some brats, potato salad, chips, and soda. You can bring some beer or some captain" id be a happy camper. :) Definitely bring your swim suits, sunscreen, towels, if you plan on swimming. We have plenty of lawn chairs on hand and possibly if motivated could start a fire in the pit at night and roast a few marsh-mellows.

For detailing supplies bring whatever you are comfortable using, there will be some detailing supplies on hand for anyone that wants to try some different products. We have different compounds, waxes, clay bar, micro fiber towels, and spray waxes. Thinking of it, we could use some more applicator pads for wax.

My car is pretty clean all the time , so I am volunteering to help detail cars for anyone that needs it.

*Other Notes: For those that don't know it, this will be hosted at my parents home, not my personal home. It is in the country and very nicely setup for parties and working on cars, if you saw my personal garage (super tiny) you would know why I have all my stuff there. ;) The only thing I ask is that you please drive slowly and quietly once on 180th St.(this is the only road you need to take it easy on) as the neighborhood doesn't see much traffic. Important: Please come on 180th St. from Joan Ave (aka. County Road 89), if approach 180th any other way you will be driving on GRAVEL !!

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

I'll pick up some applicator pads, will microfiber ones be fine?

I'll otherwise be bringing my Meguiars stuff if anyone wants to give it a shot.

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

I plan on bring my little tote box of car cleaning supplies I have a gallon of car wash for the masses to use but I don't know what time I'm coming.

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

Like turbotalon (above) I can bring my generic car wash & other stuff also.

I will NOT be able to get away before 3 or 4 though so I probably won't be out there before 6... :(

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

Hey guys, not gonna be able to make it today, we have had some sick sick puppies. Anna came home yesterday to some big puddles of blood and stuff; both Turbo & Jill went to the vet and Jill ended up going to the ER vet and spending the night getting fluids. Just picked her up, she's doing well but need to keep a close eye on her.

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

^^holy shit man hope they are ok. Bring Turbo's humping horse, maybe it will make him feel better :)

I think a few of us St. Cloudians are going to have our own little detail get together. Hastings is a fuckin haul and a half for us haha

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

Just got back after an (ahem) interesting tour of the southern metro area! (seems I made a wrong turn and ended up in Hampton, OH WELL...) Anyways, a big thanks to Shawn and his parents for hosting. Don't know how much detailing I personally got done but the car is cleaner, got to meet a few folks and even learned a bit about the fuel system of a DSM (grin)!!

See you all tomorrow!!

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

Thanks for hosting, had a good time and learned your property doesn't like fuel pumps whether evo or DSM.

Made it home no issue, looks like I'll be tearing into the steering column and performing a fuel pump rewire sooner than later.

Thanks again, my wheels are still shiny!

Re: Detailing/Party day before Mitsu Cookout August 27th
 

Woot ! Thanks everyone that made it. Aaron, glad you made it home.. Yeah something about fuel pumps.. Spaz's car looks uber shiny, and glad Nate came out with the 1g. That conquest is amazing shape, Mnementh, sorry u ended up lost.. Whoops! Mark made it out with the Evo x and we gave it a quick wash. See everyone tomorrow!
