Good morning everyone,

Following an enjoyable Spring Detailing Day, our own Car Detailing wise man has invited to join his autumn meet.
And so LowiePete's Autumn Detailing Meet will take place on Saturday 21st September.

I shall hand over to the man himself for Full Details smile

Hello Folks,

Invitation - Date, Time and Place

The 2nd of the 2019 Lowiepete Detailing Days is planned for Saturday 21st September.
The meeting venue is: The Fighting Cocks PH in Lowestoft, NR33 0NA

The meeting time will be 09:00 for prompt before a 09:30hrs departures. The pub is
only the gathering place, so don't be late! If you have previously attended, please
also head to meet Darren at the pub rather than going straight to the unit. This
allows for any last-minute change of plans. All going well, the "reveal" will take
place at around 4pm.

What's On?

Being that we are no longer weather dependent I can increase the max. limit of
attendees from 10 to at least 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.

As each Detailing Day hovers into view, so you guys up the ante for me! For this
meet there will be the usual Q car to work upon - at time of writing I'm still
looking for a suitable candidate - so the basics can be demonstrated on that with
plenty of hands-on opportunities. Previous gatherings have laid down quite a
challenge with their results, so there's plenty to aim at!

For the more experienced, well, there's a treat in store. For the first part of
the day we'll have a pretty special car in to discuss "future maintenance". For
anyone who owns a bit of a treasured steed and is unsure on what steps to take
next in its paint protection regime, you could find this first part of the day
quite valuable. Whether any work is carried out on this car on the day really
depends upon the owner and, of course, the measured results. For obvious reasons
it won't be available for attendees to work upon.

Instead, I have arranged for a previous Q car to return where you will be able
to do some machine polishing, under guidance from Darren and Jordan. If you own
a machine and pads, please bring these with you. If time allows, the culmination
of the day will be discussion of (pros, cons and pitfalls) and a possible demo
application of a ceramic coating to parts of this car.

Provisioning

We'll be providing hot drinks, but you will need to bring your own packed lunch.

Attendees Lists

The invitation to this meet is also to members of other Forums, so preference will
be given to those who register first, should the limits be reached. There will be
a safety notice issued closer to the time.

For this meet, you have the option of attaching your name to one of two lists. For
the intro stages there will be 10 spaces maximum, unless there are helpers willing
to allow expansion. For the more advanced aspects there will be a second list with
just 6 spaces available.

Goodies & Free Prize Draw

As ever I'll be doing my best to ensure that no-one goes away empty-handed, so I'm
assembling a decent goodie-bag for everyone to take home. So far, there's the usual
6 floz. bottle of ONR supplied by OPT in Holland. Thanks to an intro through County
Detailing Supplies, there will also be some 15ml samples of Vonixx Wax for you to
try. Vonixx are a new brand in the UK and their reputation gives new meaning to the
term "Brazilian Wax" so it's quite a coup to obtain these. They will be reserved for
the first 8 names to register below.

In the prize draw, which is always free, there'll be other detailers tools, including a
clay cloth for you to enjoy winning.
