Hello Folks,
Date
The 1st of the 2019 Lowiepete Detailing Days is planned for Saturday 27th April.
The meeting assembly point is: The Fighting Cocks PH in Lowestoft, NR33 0NA
Time
The meeting time will be 09:00 for prompt before 09:30hrs departures to a local
industrial unit. Don't be late and miss us, the pub is only the assembly place!
Numbers
Now that we are no longer weather dependent, the limit of attendees is increased
to 15. If there are enough experienced detailers to support it, that limit could
be extended to 20. Please indicate this with (XP) as you register.
Refreshments
We'll be providing hot drinks, but you will need to bring your own packed lunch.
We'll not be retiring to a local pub as hitherto. There is an option of a lunch
delivery service but this will need a minimum of 5 purchasers. If this interests
you, please place (F) behind your name.
Who Is Invited?
Along with visitors here, the invitation to this meet is also open to members of
other Forums, so preference will be given to those who register first, should the
limits be reached. Attending a previous meet doesn't exclude you from coming again.
The day is very much hands-on. There'll be a safety notice issued ahead of the day.
Goodies
As ever I will be attempting to ensure that no-one goes away empty-handed, so I'm
hoping to assemble a decent goodie-bag for everyone to take home. There's already
a bottle of ONR each and there's a couple of prizes in the free draw too.
An Approach to Summer Prep
This meet will be a little different to previous ones, with a much smaller Q car
to work on. However, we will need several attendees to do a bit of preparation a
week or two _before_ the meet. We're going to hold a Quick Detailer Shoot-Out,
testing their ease of use and other qualities or draw-backs. Now, we could do this
on cars belonging to the hosts, so to avoid that we'll need just the bonnets and
maybe the front wings of several other cars to be cleaned and prepared as if they're
being taken to a car show. This means doing it "your" way as you would normally
then bringing us unwashed paint that has no more than 4 weeks of protection on it.
At the meet, we'll give each bonnet an ONR wash (explained and practiced on the day)
then apply a different QD, with at least two people doing the application as one
of the comparisons. We'll need several participants so, if you're up for getting
involved place a (T) behind your name in the list below. We'll assign on a FCFS
basis.

Thank you to those who made it along today to another enjoyable Detailing Day.
A intimate gathering this time round meant plenty of time to discuss, and demonstrate in depth, various detailing techniques on our quirky Piaggio scooter pickup donor car.
A great day out. Thank you to LowiePete for putting it all together
Once uploaded, I'll post a link to my photos.
See you all for the next one!
