  • At Meguiar's your Car is the STAR!!!!!!

    Wow!
    What can I say, a truly fun day!

    Meguiar's invited me, (more so my car) to be part of their 2005 product release. Let's just say I was very honored to be chosen. Errrrrrr.... I mean that my car was chosen, since Brad Pitt I am not!!

    The car & I were picked up at 9:00am and unloaded at 11:00am.





    The shoot took place at a ranch in Encinitas, CA (North, San Diego County). The weather was perfect...65 degrees and sunny! The location was just a few miles inland from the ocean. Lots of beautiful homes on the winding roads through the hills on the way, and horse trails everywhere with many riders enjoying the day!





    The shoot started around noon. Pizza took priority before the filming started. Yummy!
    I parked the car in the proper position, that ended my work for the day.





    The Director pulled all the moving parts together. Time to film!





    One of the first filming sequences was with Gold Class Soap.





    Mike Pennington of Meguiar's was the model/actor for the day.





    Filming the action.





    On to another shot of Mike laying down the wax.





    Last were still-photos for the new catalog.
    still shots here.




    When the action was finished, Meguiar's offered a free detail from Customer Care expert, Jose Torrez. The Viper really needed it after all the rain Southern California had for the last few weeks. Thanks Jose!!!!!!!





    This was a real fun look at what goes on behind-the-scenes of catalog and commercial work. I observed that it takes a lot of patience and a good crew to pull something like this off. Quite the learning experience for me!

    Thanks to everybody at Meguiar's for being CAR CRAZY!

            How sweet is that. Now you can take your car to shows and have Meguiar's literature with your car in it to show off with.
            Later,

                If Meguiar's ever needs a Pearl White Maxima to use, give me a call.

                      Mike

                      To think, it all started from my post on another detail site. This is where I first met Mike Phillips, and found out there was something other then Zaino out there.

                      I asked in my first post, if anybody wanted to use my car for advertising?

                      I guess MEGUIAR'S took me up on it!!!!

                      ( I think the some folks over there thought I had an ego! Entertaining read below!)

                      Thanks Mike!
                      Holy cow, man... I NEVER thought I'd see the day where Autopia and DetailCity would be sharing space on the same banner!!! I am pleased to say that I w

                        No problem. Actually I should thank you. You dove right in and did half of the work yourself, which was great! Your knowledge of our products was great too!

                        I ended up detailing about 7 cars, including Barry's '57 Chevy Bel Air and a 2005 BMW. As soon as I started on the car below, the tow truck pulled up, so I had to stop. Whoever the owner is, I owe you a detail.

                              I enjoyed the autopia link. I have heard that thread refered to so many times but never actually viewed it.
