On June 11th, 2005 members Bimmerforums.com attended Meguiar's Detailing 101 Class here at our Corporate office in Irvine, CA.

[Mike Phillips]

These folks were a great group of people to work with and after the hands-on portion of the class everyone joined in the fun and started Meguiarizing their cars!








A little PlastX cleared up this convertible window in no time!

[Mike Phillips]

What are they looking at?



The results of ScratchX applied by hand to Randy's swirled out BMW!

The left side is before, the right side is the after side...





More pictures later...

Thanks to everyone that attended today, you guys and girls were a great group of people to work with!

Not trying to be critical, but what on earth is this?

It's a Smart Car. It's been polished out with M82 and Tech Wax.

A BMW I presume?

I'll have to do some research on it.

Very nice shine BTW!

Hey,

I thought the Smart Cars were designed and distributed through MB dealers?

Not really, they are made by MB but imported and distributed by ZAP which didn't make D-C very happy. Sort a much smaller version of BMW's Mini Cooper. I love the name of the cars, the fortwo, forfour and the new SUV, the formore.

Daimler-Chrysler didn't think it would sell enough units of Smart in the states. So they have not imported it. They were going to import the "SUV" version, but I believe that whole car had been cut. Smart has been a huge money loser for DC. Think "Saturn" except without the R&D benefits.

Cool picts. I wonder why over half the cars are blue?

That 2 seat model sold for around 8,000.00 pounds in England.

Looks like it would sell here too at that price, course I don't know what it would cost after the exchange rate is considered.

Great pictures, make sure to post more. The first picture is my new signature.

Had a great time there and learned a lot. I was so motivated from the day and seeing that my E36 Estoril blue convertible was the dirtiest car there that day I took the liberty of washing and waxing it when I got home

[jworms1]

this was a great event! i would definitely do it again. i hope you don't mind if i were to join in on another Saturday to get tips, etc. i am going to buy one of those porter cable polishers. mmm maybe I'll swing by next Saturday and purchase it

major thanks to Eric, Mike, and Shane.

I've got a bunch of pictures of the estorils i took. here are some of the better ones (i think):
(i have full sized ones if anybody wants)
