We need to organize a meet for people whom live in OC. Santa Barbara and LA are too far for some of us. Anyone interested, please chime in. :wavey
 
The best place to meet is at Meguiars in Irvine. Just ask for an Autopia meet on their forum, meguiarsonline.com and they'll schedule you if you can guarantee 25 people. They teach you how to buff, detail your car and provide free products and pizza.
 
Although im technically in LA CO I'm 2 minutes from the OC border so you can add one more. This is for the meguiar's meeting right?
 
There are pros and cons to scheduling a get together at Meguiar's,



Pros:

Meguiar's structured format.

fun.

informative.

great facility.

terrific hosts.

free lunch.



cons:

Meguiar's structured format.

the standard program is pretty basic for enthusiast detailers.

some local Autopians have already been through one or more of them and don't feel the need to repeat the exercise.

limited to Meguiar's scheduling option (a Saturday morning, 08:00 to 15:00).

Meguiar's-centric, not a suitable local for a Zaino love fest.

Need to fill class, if only ten Autopians sign up they'll fill the class with 20 others who are unlikely to share the same specific areas of interest.





I'm always up for a Meguiar's day but it may be more appropriate meeting at a park, public facility, local eatery or somebody's home.

Count me in...just make sure the date is far enough in advance....I dont' mind more practice with Meguiar's products, i'd just like to get some time with a rotary or a cyclo....



FYI: Meguiars has August 27th and September 24th open....
 
I make it 10 thus far although 2 are sort of on the fence due to the potential date:

Asonyexec

Sullybob (date dependant)

RCBuddha

NYC2SoCal (but 08.27 doesn't work)



I'm really liking the 27 just because it's the day before my birthday :D



Also, I know I get a dozen guys from my PT Cruiser group to sign up.....if the rest of you don't mind a bunch of quasi retromobiles hanging around!!

...So is it more like a class, or we work on our own cars while they tell us what to do?

The Meguiar's detailing classes are typically half classroom presentation, half hands-on instruction. After the scheduled stuff is completed then it goes more freeform.



Here's Meguiar's description page for a typical event.





As I said before it's structured to Meguiar's format. Perhaps if we have enough people to fill a class we can ask Mike Phillips to morph it?

That works. me, and my 4 friends are attending for sure. Please put us on the list.
