Anyone down for a fall cleaning/detail day before it gets too cold?
Well, the nice weather is about to end...anyone up for a fall cleaning/detailing day?
The next couple Sundays are no good for me, but figured I'd see if anyone is up for a good, hard-core cleaning day before it's too cold to do it. Nov 3rd, maybe?
Not sure of a good location, butI live in Granby, CT...and can fit probably 4 or 5 cars in my driveway....and I live on a cul-de-sac, so parking on the street is no problem.
Any interest?

Ha! I figure a couple hundred per car should work!!!
I don't have a ton for cleaning stuff (I was also figuring Id' learn some tricks from other people, too)....but I've got car wash soap and a hose...some wax....and everyone is welcome to use whatever I've got at my house (unless there is a better spot to meet up). Heck, and you guys could see what I ended up doing with my nightmare back yard landscaping job!
We could throw some burgers and dogs on the grill, too...

That is fine with me. Hopefully we'll have good weather.
Another thing going for having it on October 3rd is we know it was a decent day and did not rain. You can't guarantee that by picking a future date.

I've got a bunch of Meguiar's stuff. Clay bar and cleaner wax (if anyone wants to spend 4 hours in Josh's driveway), quick interior wipes, leather cleaner/conditioner, car wash, gold class wax, detailer and tire shine *****.
So how many do we have so far, 6 or 7?

5. Darkrose?
6. Bad_Bob
7. fitz75
8. RMZ290 (pending homework)

Nice, looks like we're going to have nice turnout! I've got a bunch of towels and a chamois….soft rags to wash with…some tire shine…soap….some window cleaner…and I'll see if I can sneak some paper towels out wihtout my wife noticing! And after you see the mack-daddy hose sprayer I have, you're going to hunt one down for yourself!
Hopefully we have nice weather! We can grill up some food….or there are a few pizza joints around we can hit up as well. My wife is gonna probably go shopping that day (this will probably end up being an expensive day for me!) if no girls show up with their cars for her to hang with…
Once we get closer to the 3rd, I'l shoot everyone a PM with my addy. That way I can just blast everyone with a PM at once, and won't end up forgetting to send it to someone!

I might swing by since I'm just a town over to check out everybodys rides. Depends on how much HW I need to get done though.

We (NEPOC) just had a meet a couple weeks back. Was a perfect day for cleaning and waxing. Like I said before, ya'll are welcome to check us out anytime. And we have 2 pro detailers, Oleg (Astral) and myself.
