Can't wait, should be a good day!

Jon.G · Apr 28, 2012

I'm not cleaning mine. Can't be arsed

Joe# · Apr 28, 2012

Nashy · Apr 28, 2012

Christopher · Apr 28, 2012

I'll be arriving early with Ed. I really need to stock up on a few bits too.

I can see tomorrow being an expensive day, despite me not even having the car yet. lol.

Nashy · Apr 28, 2012

Yeah im running low on a few bit's so can see the wallet getting a good bashing!!

Riad · Apr 28, 2012

Not sure if i'm in some dumb s**t reversed into my car!

Barrie. · Apr 28, 2012

I was getting ready to make excuses about why my cars gonna be filthy, but it looks like i don't need too now

Nashy · Apr 28, 2012

I'm travelling down from Cumbria so it's pointless even cleaning mine!!!

Barrie. · Apr 28, 2012

I'm coming up from Nottingham, long-ish journeys = good excuses

Eddie. · Apr 28, 2012

Glasur is epic tbh!

Need I say more?

Nashy · Apr 28, 2012

Ffs I'm going to have to make an effort now

Chapppers11 · Apr 28, 2012

Mind you, the car will most likely be filthy after 2 and a half hours on the motorway!

I was thinking that

Jonff · Apr 28, 2012

Jon should clean the cars owned by the owners who are travelling a fair distance purely as a gesture of good will.

Meet at JonG's prior to the meet?

withoutabix · Apr 28, 2012

OCD i admit i have it...

My car hasn't been out of the garage for 10 days now, been corrected to about 95%, had all the wheels off and sealed, even the arches are wearing a coat of Zaino CS

Now it might be filthy after the drive but should be beading like a good'un

Eddie. · Apr 28, 2012

Very nice chappers.

Glasur > Carbon

Gotta love zymol beading!

Christopher · Apr 28, 2012

I'm tempted by Glasur but I don't like the additional upkeep of it.

For that reason I'm sticking with Carbon.

This

I was hoping to have to Glasur on for this. But with the weather being so bad the last week or so, I still haven't

I've just given mine a quick wash actually, although I've got a 45 minute drive in the morning.

MatthewR · Apr 28, 2012

Chris, what time are you being picked up by Ed and where abouts?

Mind if i come and meet you both and convoy down?

Eddie. · Apr 29, 2012

Just got home now,

Great day, thanks to everyone who came, especially those who came a long way! Was nice to meet everyone, and have some great banter as always

Hope the day was helpful for everyone.

Looking forward to their next open day tbh.

JamesBryan · Apr 29, 2012

Awesome day!

The RB 200 was mint as well, was good to have a go with the DA and Rotary :approve:

Nashy · Apr 29, 2012

Gutted I missed it

whole house went down with a sickness bug last night! Please let me know if/when they have another one!

Cheers for sorting it out mate, also thanks for guiding me and Chris back to the M60

Brilliant day, can't wait to try the new products out.

Joe# · Apr 29, 2012

Yeah, good meet guys

fastharry · Apr 29, 2012

really good day ! enjoyed it loads. cant wait to use my new products !

withoutabix · Apr 29, 2012

Not long back and was defiantly worth the 1.5hrs on the motorway in torrential rain..

Big thumbs up to shinearama and Thekid for organising was very enjoyable and some decent banter

and as i predicted as soon as i hit the motorway i remembered the one thing i actually did need to get which i never picked up! dam you finishing pad!

Christopher · Apr 29, 2012

Awesome meet. Cheers Ed.

I'm so glad I know that place now. Brilliant lads there too.

Good to meet everyone I've not met before or not spoke to previously.

Me too! I can see myself making trips there more often now.

Chapppers11 · Apr 29, 2012

Finally home after torrential rain on the motorway, was nice to put names to faces and definitely the best CS meet I've been to.

Enjoyed seeing what could be done on my car as well, even if I didn't trust anyone taking a rotary within 5 miles of the car!

Thanks for sorting Ed.

Edit: btw The wolfs glass nano sealant wasn't as good as G-techniq looks on the videos

thats sad ! I was hoping it would be amazing ! Couldnt wait to use is ! Disappointed now !!
Loved your car mate, envy you haha !!
Had a good day overall!

Chapppers11 · Apr 29, 2012

I don't think it was left to cure long enough tbh or maybe more needed to go on, don't be disheartened!

Back to the 1.2 it is now for a week or two

must of been nearly 50 quid of petrol used today Chris...

boffey · Apr 29, 2012

Seeing your car makes me want to get a 200, probably the nicest one I've seen.

JamesBryan · Apr 29, 2012

You did look a bit worried when i offered to have a go of the rotary Chappers.

About the Wolf's glass guard, i think it may need a few layers, as i know the GTechniq one says to apply 3 layers.

Barrie. · Apr 29, 2012

Good day, thanks to TheKid for setting it all up, even if it did end up getting rather expensive for me

also feel the need to moan about it taking me almost 3h30 to get home, sunday drivers + bad weather = 35mph and no way to get past

Eddie. · Apr 30, 2012

Glad everyone enjoyed it.

I'm already in the process of organising the next one, this time a lot more juicy

I will report back soon with the details on that.

Here are the photos from the day, sent over by Foxx. (They don't appear to be in order, but you get the idea!)

Some decent photos, would be interested to see the depth of the paint now after the whole of CS has had a go with a rotary on my bonnet!

For anyone who bought the Wolf's glass sealant, it apparently needs 12 hours before seeing rain to cure properly!

So its useless to the UK market?
