And for the car was stuff, I don't have anything special, but I'll bring it anyway. I'm sure one if you will protest though if I say "soap is soap"

amy!

I updated the list so car supplies are in italics. Hope that helps...

So, what you are saying is that, as long as we stay away from Lever 2000, Lava is still ok?

Rachel, keep me on this list as a ? for now. Work may get in the way.

Wait, what am I doing to your car???

mugennosora · 03-21-2009, 04:38 PM

today i bought 2 more small wallmart buckets, now i just have to find a rack for it, to help speed the process.

lizak187 · 03-22-2009, 07:42 PM

Wash..dishsoap will do just fine....i like chemical guys maxi suds it works well in the foam gun..(ill bring the foam gun for 1000% sudddssss)

then you wanna clay....a claybar is a claybar they only differ on how fine they are.

then i like to rewash real quick

Dry with waffle weave drying towel or microfiber

Top with a wax or seal or go on to polishing steps

Orange pad with Menz SIP for harsh swirls

White pad with Menz p106ff to finish

wax or seal over

For wheels anything works...Chem guys grime reaper or something as simple as simple green will make them spotless ...a old washmit speeds the time up as opposed to brush or sponge.

my car should be pretty clean so i can focus on helping anyone who wans to learn to use a orbital ...

~Tony that jar of glacier will do 10+ cars you want to lay it real thin by hand...1oz of wax should do a car 2-3 times...Swissvax jars are 8 oz now correct?

just my 2 cents lol

bimmerBaron · 03-22-2009, 09:26 PM

count me in! I can bring a couple of buckets, microfiber towels, some soap and some other stuff.
what else is needed in the food front? might we need plastic plates, cutlery?

14. gnpower - keilbasa
15. bman6074 - hot wings
16. nobbyv - Beer-broiled brats

Looks like a great menu, but seems to be quite a few main dishes with not many sides. I got a great macaroni dish that I think would be a great fit. I bring that instead of the Keilbasa.

Also bring a bucket, some McGuire soap and a shamee or two

mugennosora · 03-23-2009, 12:34 PM

LittleVik · 03-23-2009, 12:48 PM

Yeah, bring some time lapse sort of videography as well, since its all BS. You can tell that something happened there in the commercial.

Stay with me camera guy...

bimmerBaron · 03-23-2009, 01:08 PM

Obviously more sham than wow..

arrutled · 03-23-2009, 01:15 PM

Rachel, you can change the rain date back to the 11th due to the move of the f40 open house! thanks!

It's not a fake. I was at a fair last summer where they were doing live demos. That's when I bought mine. I saw it suck up the soda!
