Meguiar's/ WalMart Shine & Show Event 2011

[greg0303]

It was a Super Fun Saturday. The guys/ gals of Meguiar's really know how to host Car Crazy Events. Some cool rides joined the competition.

I took a ride to WalMart Secaucus with Shawn (aka Shawn T.) after quick wash & wax to our vehicles. Here's the first view of the scene:







Between 9am and 10am some really nice rides started arriving:

Absolutely AWESOME! I wish Meguiar's would come out East and host an event like that here, say in Cortland New York. They could tie ir in with our annual "Rod Night."

Bring the Walmart Shine & Show to Cody, Wyoming

How about a Meguiar's /Walmart Shine & Show in Cody, Wyoming?

Before you think, "What? Isn't the population of Cody, Wyoming 8,835?" here are a few facts:

Cody, Wyoming is Car Crazy.

We had a locally organized car show for years that stopped two years ago. It routinely drew 250 + entrants from at least 5 states. It included a run through the Shoshone National Forrest on the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway to the Beartooth Pass (elevation 10,900 ft.) to Red Lodge Montana.

We have a 24/7 Super Walmart with auto center and a huge parking lot.
It draws customers from three states and 250 mile + radius.

We have a regional airport severed by Delta and Continental so Barry can fly in while the rest of you guys bring products and displays in the big black truck.

We have upscale lodging for Mr. Meguiar.

We're 50 miles from Yellowstone's east gate.

Even Yellowstone National Park is Car Crazy. Here's one of their restored 1935 White tour buses in Cody



We have loads of local muscle cars, hot rods, Harley Davidsons (Cody is a popular pre and post Stugis stop), Corvettes and various sports cars

One local guy has a bigger car collection than Jay Leno.

As far as I know, we have the highest population of 2003 2004 Mustang Mach 1s per capita: One for every 3,313 residents.



I just don't know how we can compete with Secaucus scenery.

Two miles West of Cody and 2,000 ft up.



Chief Joseph Scenic Highway. 45 minutes from Cody, WY.

Greg and Shawn,

Thanks for representing MOL so well. Your cars look great.

I'm sure many folks there got some advice from a couple of "visiting artists".

Thank you for sharing pictures from the show! The Pontiac looks great, nice job!

Re: Meguiar's/ WalMart Shine & Show Event 2011

Thank You, Everybody.

It was a great Event indeed and absolutely worth to share. We didn't bring any Awards this year but we had a lot of fun meeting other Car Crazy people.

Shawn had many people asking him how he achieved such level of darkness and gloss on his paint. Of course he explained the whole process with details. His Honda has really good quality paint job and incredible metallic flakes.

STG - Cody, Wyoming sounds/ looks like a perfect place for next year's event to me. You're definitely Car Crazy there.

Re: Meguiar's/ WalMart Shine & Show Event 2011

We want to thank Greg for posting up these pix of the event, and extend a thank you to all who attended!

Greg is being a bit modest here though - that beautiful red Pontiac LeMans convertible that looks so good parked under the awning at our big rig is the car he prepped and brought down for the show. We were really excited to be able to offer him that spot in our display as he volunteered a lot of work to promote this event locally.

Re: Meguiar's/ WalMart Shine & Show Event 2011

Thank you for giving me that Special Spot, Mike, even when so many great cars were available to choose from. Great feeling indeed.

Looking forward to do another Meguiar's Car Crazy event with a different ride.

Is there a list of dates and locations for other Meguiars/Wal-Mart car shows??

It's an annual event. Whichever WalMart location records the highest Meguiar's product sales increase - it gets rewarded and hosts that show. Secaucus, NJ was the first one. So it's really up to sales results.
