Class starts in a few hours!
Just to note, the forum can sometimes be busy on a Saturday, however as I'm not going to be available to post answers or tips as I'll be with the members of Autopia in either the Training Room or in the Training Garage working on cars today. -Mike -
Autopians show up early!

At highway speeds it will cut spark/ fuel to 4 of the cylinders to conserve gas. It may do this at idle but I can't remember.Rangerpowersports.com

The car is a Crysler 300c with a 5.7 Hemi. The engine drops to 4 cyliders at about 57mph and will respond like a V8 in a split second.2005 Chrysler 300c Bright SilverComment

That was a great time. I got exactly what I wanted from the class and then some. I will put what I learned today into practice tomorrow. That was a first class set up and well worth the time spent. Thanks to the Meg's crew.2005 Chrysler 300c Bright SilverComment

Mike & Tim,
Thanks so much for an EXCELLENT class! It was great to see the products and techniques being demonstrated first hand. I also enjoyed being able to try out the various Meguiars products. It was a fun learning experience that I hope to do again someday soon. Thanks again!
Best Wishes,
GaryComment

What can I say? Super group of people today! Every time we have members from Autopia here at Meguiar's it's a great experience for everyone. What made this class real special was that Barry was in town and stopped in and said hello and answered any questions the group had before heading off to the game with Karen and friends.
Here's a group shot except for a few folks that had to leave a little early.

The last few people have just left and I'm just about out of here also. I'll upload some photos on Monday after getting caught up with the forum and e-mail.Comment

Once again I want to thank both Meguiars and Mike Phillips for having us all done today. Like always, it was a blast getting to meet all the people that show and getting to talk cars and detailing. Thanks for a great time everyone one!

I certainly hope that everyone's expectations were met today!
I'll guarantee that 90% (or more) of today's attendees will choose (or at least consider first) Meg's products for the rest of their lives... and for good reason.
Barry has been using this 'simple' demostration technique for decades. It works, apparently.
I certainly am not exclusive to Mequiar's products, but (with few exceptions) I could be! I'll place a regular $450 order on Monday.
Mike Phillips is the real deal.
Jim
