PHEA MEET: LowiePete's Detailing Meet - Saturday 25th April
Discussion
Good evening everyone!
EDIT: ***DATE CHANGE to 25th April***
After a break over the festive season, while working on the PHEA 2015 Calendar, fellow PHer Steve (aka. LowiePete) has kindly arranged a Detailing Meet for us.
Along with members from Detailing World and Renault Turbo Owner's Club, it will be Detailing based day with a reveal of Steve's newly restored Renault 5 GT Turbo
While this won't be the first Event of the year, I have been asked to post this now to get idea of numbers to help complete arrangements.
As some of you may know, Steve is somewhat the detailing guru and being a passionate Member of PHEA, we have included this Brand New Meet Format in our shiny new Events Calendar for 2015 (yet to be revealed!).
The Meet will be on Saturday 25th April at the Fighting Cocks Pub in Lowestoft at 10.30am for 11am start - MAP LINK HERE
The R5 Turbo Reveal will be around 3.30pm
Visitor Driven Topics
Although we are meeting at the Fighting Cocks, the meet will be split between
3 different sites, all within easy walking distance from one another. Each site
will have a different focus.
For people who don't own detailing machines - and wouldn't want to - there will be sessions
in the pub car park, where any process that can be done by hand will be
explained, with hands-on tuition or practice offered.
For people who want to learn about machines, specifically polishers, there
will be sessions in my garage, which has some "lights of doom" for people
to work under.
For the more advanced visitors, there will be other machines to use on the
site where the Renault 5 is being restored. Also, there will be a mechanic and two
bodywork guys on hand to talk to about paint and restoration.
So, with those options, I'd like to hear which detailing techniques you'd like to see demonstrated.
We will also need some brave people to offer up suitably neglected cars to
use as demonstrators.
We'll be holding short sessions between the 3 sites with everyone placed
into a group. Each group, which will be a mix of people from each Forum,
will get to visit each site.
Numbers Limited
There will be a limit of 10 members from each Forum, not including the small
team of people who are acting as "tutors" for the day. There will be a fee
to attend, which will include coffee on arrival and your lunch at the pub.
Ticket costs will be updated here once finalised. We'll be keeping overheads
to a minimum, so they will be reasonable.
To book your place, please enter your name on the list. As this is appearing
on 3 forums, if the numbers grow beyond 10, you'll be placed into a reserve
list. That way, if there are fewer than 10 from one forum, the reserves will
get a place. You will be sent a PM with PayPal details 10 days before the
event. All monies must be received by Sunday 5th April 2015.
Programme
3 x one hour sessions on each site, details announced once we have your
feedback.
11am to 12pm... Session 1
12.15pm to 1.15pm... Session 2
Lunch until 2.15pm
2.15pm to 3.15pm... Session 3
Reveal at 3.30pm
Close at around 4pm
Volunteers Sought
If you have a particular detailing skill, would you enjoy demonstrating it at
this event? Please message me or post your ideas for me to pass on to Steve.
Do you have a car that we could use as a test mule? If it's a bit neglected,
then so much the better, provided that the paint underneath is sound. You
must be aware that you provide it at your own risk!
The Weather
One factor in organising this event will be the weather, which could mean a
postponement until the following Saturday, although this will be resisted if
at all possible. The pub car park sessions are the most vulnerable casualty
of the weather, however, we could hold Q&A sessions inside.
The List

We look forward to seeing you!

Thank you to LowiePete for organising a great day out!
Six of us attended making it an intimately enjoyable social day out.
Rain in the morning meant we had decent discussion of techniques, products and tools used in detailing.
Currently possessing an old C-Class courtesy car, I took it along as a test mule, receiving a good clay treatment and tar removal.
Machine polishing, wax application and a waterless vs. two bucket method washing were also demonstrated.
Then at the end of the day, we where all kindly given a little goody bag of products to take away
Thank you to everyone who turned out for our first Detailing Meet, and again thanks to LowiePete for organising and hosting the Meet!
Finally, you can see my PHOTOS HERE
Hopefully see you all again soon!
