it is cool when it works - took a few minutes to get some of the gear on this end working, but it was pretty easy

this is very likely going to become a regular thing on this site - after some editing, i see some DIY files getting made up - we'll figure out how to park the stuff here later

just one more thing the site will offer.................

[flash]

the ultima spray arrived too, so we have that to play with as well

thanks dan

Will someone be able to show me how to take off the door panel or the rear speaker cubby fix? Not sure if those are easy to do? If so, I'll bring my B-Quiet and foam stuff to put behind the rear speakers...

[flash]

yeah - no worries - that's pretty easy

Is it too late to join the party?

[flash]

not at all - happy to have you

drop me a pm with your number and i'll make sure you have all the pertinent info

[flash]

ok - here are the links to the webcast

East Coast:
http://www.ustream.t...-ends-detailing
broadcasting will begin somewhere around 10am Eastern time

West Coast:
http://www.ustream.t...flash-detailing
broadcasting will begin somewhere around 9am Pacific time

you can view both simultaneously by having two windows open

there is a chat function - it will be working - we may or may not be sitting at the computer to answer you (very hard to hold a buffer and type at the same time), but members can chat amongst themselves too

this is going to be cool

[PorscheDude]

I'll see you west coast suckers via web cam.

Don't laugh at my dirty dog!!
I hear Darryl has a vacuum, so I'm all set......

Fate favors the happy heart. And so with the girls in our family, and lots of plan optimizing, and the men are always supportive, looks like I'll get to swing by tomorrow. Gotta head up to UCLA, we'll be leaving here around 11:00, should be there by 1:00 or so. Hope the detailing has transitioned to a professional state by then, and everyone can apply the lessons learned to my car . Just kidding, simply want to stop by for an hour. Really looking forward to it flash and all.

Flash,

Looks like you got a haircut for the event! Glad to see you're walking around with your cup of coffee. Are you on your 4th or 5th already?

See you later today.

Another fun event at Bob's. Thanks for hosting. Inching up to bv's ride, problem is he is inching away at a faster rate.....

Chris please send me the before pics on email.

Flash, Looks like you got a haircut for the event!

s**t, i just now realized those were not flood lamps illuminating the garage for this webcast, it was merely one 60w bulb, but everytime Bob passed under it the reflection was like a solar flare covering the entire area !

Yes, very nice to see the group there, Flash's Garage -- a very welcome place!

Saw a product called Optima -- (something). It is used in place of wax, a polymer of some type, used in place of wax. Looks very interesting, need to follow up on it. Just spray it on, and smooth it out, no waxing, no rubbing Probably is chemically very compatible with the clear coat chemistry.

Most interesting, something happened because of this event. On the way back home, somewhere on 405 in the Seal Beach area, a 968 Aventurine couple comes flying by me on the right. Unfortunately no hello or high sign.

Then heading east on 78 closer to home, a black 968 coupe flies by on the left. Again, no hello or sign. Odd that both were a little dusty/dirty. On the other hand, late summer in SoCal is really bad. No rain for 6 months leaves lots of stuff around. Cars stay cleaner after the first rain.

I see a 968 on the roads about once or twice a year, that's all. And have several trips a year to the north side of LA, never see a 968. And on this day, for the detail event, I see 2 in the same day!

I wonder, is there some type of invisible force at work that they all come out on detail day?

Thanks flash!

lol - they were all searching for my place

i had a great time - was fun to see everybody - we ended up with 7 cars and 10 people showing up over the course of the day

we really transformed a couple of them - had a ball seeing the look on the faces

the webcast was fun, technical hiccups and all - if we had more time to plan a bit better, we could have done "clinics" - we'll have to think more n that later

thanks to everybody who showed up - i'll get some pics up later today

[968TDG]

Thanks for putting that on flash! It was great to meet a few members

[PorscheDude]

Had a great time on the other coast.

Darryl and his PDR guy really helped my cars paint.
Would love to do something like this again.

[flash]

those guys are nothing short of amazing - he transformed joe's car from dinged up to the point of an estimate in the thousands to repair at a body shop, to danged near perfectly straight - keep in mind that it is black and shows everything

worth their weight in gold
