On Thursday nights, starting at 5:30pm and going until around 10:00pm, Meguiar's will host an Open Garage in which registered members of our Meguiar's Online Discussion Forum can sign-up to try out Meguiar's complete arsenal of products and tools with experienced and trained experts on hand to help you as well as show you the proper techniques for getting show car results!






The goal of these events is to give people a chance to,

Try out products they may have never used or even known about.
Learn the correct technique for applying and removing specific products or using different tools.
These classes are not for bringing your car down to do a complete detail as in machine polishing and waxing the entire car. We will show you the products and techniques using a fender or the hood and letting you learn and practice on this one section but after that you will need to finish the rest of the car at your garage. By doing this more people can get their car into the garage and learn in the limited amount of time that we have and that's what these events are about, people learning how to detail their car, not one or two people using the garage from 5:00pm to 10:00pm to detail their entire car.



To bring your car to Thursday Night "Open Garage", you need to be a registered (http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/register.php?s=)member (http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/register.php?s=) and then "Reply" to to this sign-up thread.


IMPORTANT NOTE:
You are only allowed to sign-up for yourself and immediate family members that are living in your home. Friends, family and other club members will need to sign-up for themselves.

Note: Please do not show up before 5:00pm as we have to remember there are a lot of people still working and we cannot disrupt them and their duties plus the parking lot is full until regular employees begin to leave at 5:00pm

ALWAYS check the forum homepage and the thread the day before the class to make sure the class has not been canceled.

We canceled the last class because less than 10 people signed up, that's our threshold for holding a class. Not our fault, people get busy and there just wasn't enough interest to justify a Thursday night class.

Looking forward to seeing you again, where are you flying in from?

Colorado. I lived in Dana Point for the past two summers so I had nice access to the open garages. I came two years ago a few times. I even made it to the guitars and cars night. I remember a friend of yours showing up and playing a couple songs. Really cool! That was actually the first time I ever thought to keep my guitars clean. Anyway, I'm just coming out for a couple weeks this year and made sure open garage was on my list of things to do. One of the best car guy nights you can have anywhere from my experience.

4 days, I can't wait! Any chance you will have some 105 and 151 around to play with? Not sure what I will be driving that night but I have been waiting on pins and needles to try those two products.

I wish I could come...the cheapest gas in my area is $4.10 though and getting about 16 mpg on the freeway doesn't quite sit well with the folks.

That was this guitar we buffed out...

Note how we used a clean foam applicator pad to prevent any product from getting inside the guitar and getting on the sound pick-up

Yes we'll have both on hand, are you bringing something to work on?

Mike, unfortunately I may not make it to the class tonight but I'll do my best to be there, though. If I do, my car will be dirty from the drizzle yesterday, too.

Just a note to everyone, the city of Irvine does not allow you to wash cars at Meguiar's.

Thanks for understanding...

I know of at least one coin-op carwash, maybe 10 minutes away from Meg’s HQ.

We'd never disrespect Meguiars by using it as a carwash, Mike! We know the facility is for experience and application of fine detailing practices and techniques only :chuckle1

Just realized I could make it, even though it's already 7:30. Hopefully Mr. Phillips will have me.

On my way...
