Paul rented a convertible Toyota Solara for his trip to SoCal; the finish was sooo baaad... that besides being comical, (for a bunch of detail oriented enthusiasts), it made for the perfect Experimentation Car for everyone to try their hand using the Rotary Buffer!
Here's David aka Newport Viper removing gross swirls using the rotary buffer and M84 with a W-7006 foam cutting pad.
Here's Kyle aka kpagel removing gross swirls using the rotary buffer and M84 with a W-7006 foam cutting pad.
Here's Mark Cummins aka Mark Cummins removing gross swirls using the rotary buffer and M84 with a W-7006 foam cutting pad.
By the way Mark, Killer Salsa!.... Can you say FIRE!
Mark is the owner of this Mercedes-Benz Smart Car pictured below,
If you have any interest or questions about Smart Cars and can post them to his forum here,
I'm back in NY and back on the computer! I wanted to thank everyone who made my trip to Meguiar's and to So Cal one that I will never forget. It was a pleasure to meet Mike Philips and everyone at the shop! It's very nice to know that such a community exists where everyone has the same love for cars, and mostly the same love for keeping them in tip top condition. You guys are awesome! Thanks for the hospitality,and kindness.
The weather couldn't have been any better.
Again - thank you all - I'm sure I'll be able to meet you all again in the future! I have to takecare of another business trip in April!
I have some pics to share below:

Let's take a look in the sunlight.
Mark taped off the Rental and played with #84 (Compound power cleaner) on the Dewalt Rotary and 7000 pad. Burnin it up!
You should all have seen the car the next day when Valet drove it out of the garage....boy was half the hood shiney! I was embarrased to be parked next to the Bentley's and Ferrari's, but no matter. It was fun!
Raffle time!
Engine Detailing on 2 Vipers:
David's 10 year old RT, dude - please don't wait for my return to tend to your motor! It will be easier if you do it more often, and especially when the motor is cool, and the sun doesn't beat on it!
David ended up wersanding the letters down (see pics prior to this post), we covered the ecu/alternator and pressure washed the motor, used APC (wasn't sure how safedgreaser would work - worried if it was too strong) and then hyper dressing!
We did the same with Lawrence's car!
That was my trip! I'm about to head over to a friends house for thanksgiving....my G-100 is there and my other friend picked up a 1992 240sx for his drifting needs - so I will go attack the paint in his warm garage (it's 30 degrees outside)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE. If you need anything in NY let me know. takecare.
Just a quick note... My daughters wanted to say thank you for the Spongebob shirts! They were colored that night and my youngest seems to live in hers!
