Advanced Class Sign-up Thread
Meguiar's Car Care 201
Saturday March 22nd, 2008

Date: March 22nd, 2008
Time: 9:00am to 1:00pm
Place: Meguiar's Inc
Street: 17991 Mitchell South
City/State: Irvine, CA 92614
Mapquest Driving Directions (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=search&countryid=250&addtohistory=&country=US&address=17991+Mitchell+South&city=Irvine&state=ca&zipcode=&historyid=&submit=Get+Map)



Requirements:
You must have first attended our Car Care 101 class and can document this with your forum name on a sign-up thread in our Sign-up Forum (http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=110). We will check forum names and e-mail addresses to the sign-up thread forum, precedence will always go to members that have legitimately replied to a Car Care 101 Sign-up thread and attended the Saturday class and there's a record of this here on the forum.

Classes Size Limitations
18 individuals, these classes are not available for entire clubs. Small Classes mean more one-on-one attention.

Electronic Lottery
Due to the overwhelming demand for our Advanced classes, the only fair way we've come up with to determine who can attend is by an electronic lottery.

Besides the lottery, you have to have attended one of our Saturday Car Care 101 Clinics and be able to show you've attended by having signed-up via the sign-up thread and then actually attended. Anyone caught cheating by entering more than once will be banned without warning.


The first Advanced Class will cover,

* How to wet-sand paint by hand
* How to use an Air Powered DA Sander
* How to use the Rotary Buffer
* How to use a Dual Action Polisher
* Plus a lot more...


A "Certificate of Completion" (http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21354) suitable for display will be presented to all students that attend the entire class.



IMPORTANT NOTE: You are only allowed to sign-up for yourself.

Sign-up List
Please reply to this thread and in your reply, simply type your real first name followed by a space then a dash then a space and then your forum name. Like this,
***Update***

Reminder e-mail going out to the people who were selected by electronic lottery for the Advanced Class. If you are on the list and cannot attend please let us know as fast as you can so we can let someone take your place.

Hi Mike,

Please sign me up for the advanced class on March 22, 2008.

Sorry I do not know how to link back to the sign up threads, but as I hope you will recall, the first class I attended was in November 2005 when you allowed me and the Green Tundra to join the Prius Club class.

The second class, an "Open" class, was exactly a year later on November 11, 2006.

Plus, I am sure a few of the "regulars" will remember that I was there for a few Wednesday / Thursday night events at Meguiar's.

Sure hope I make "the cut" in the lottery as I have already gone to Home Depot and bought enough Wet/Dry 400 "fine" grit paper for all of us to use that day.

I know you usually use 4000 grit paper, but the 400 grit was much cheaper and as the only difference between the two grits is a 0 (zero) and as "zero" has no value, it would be just the same. I know it will do a "fine" job on Mike Pennington's black Company car.

Have a great day - keep smiling.

Hi Mike,
Put me in for the lottery as well.
I attended a 101 class in late September 2004. It was with a Miata club. Unfortunately, I can not validate it with a sign up thread as it appears this was before the use of sign up threads for the Saturday classes. :)

Just to note...

The requirement to attend the advanced class is having attended our Car Care 101 Class and you must have a record of it.

We will be searching each person's "Posting History" to make sure you've attended an advanced class. If you have not we will remove your post and your name from the lottery drawing.

This was all outlined in the beginning of this thread.

:rolleyes:

The names were picked on Feb. 12, it has not been updated, I think Superior Shine gave up his seat for another member to attend.:bow:bow:bow. Some people may not meet the requirements to attend but looking at the list I've seen alot of those names before. But you still might get in. Good Luck. Next class is May 17, keep a eye out for the sign up thread and maybe you can hit that lottery.

Mike, please check your email. I have to remove myself from the class due to a serious family situation, I included a better explanation in the email.

I really hope that one of the alternates can take my spot, I'd really hate for there to be an empty seat. I just want the alternates to understand I wouldn't back out at the last minute like this if it weren't for something really important.

Everyone have fun tomorrow!
