Anybody's car in need of detailing exterior/interior?
I'm thinking about doing a detailing day at my house. I've got almost everything needed. Unless you have certain chemicals you prefer. So anybody interested? This isn't definite yet. The weather is supposed to be in the 80's so it will definitely be comfortable out.
Just reply back if you're interested.
I'm located in South Bend, IN. I will post up my address if there is any interest at all.

I would definately be all over this if there was more notice.

damn, i work friday. otherwise i'd make the drive...havent been to South Bend in awhile.

05-22-2006, 02:07 PM
do it in michigan, target parking lot lol
no seriously coupe, lets do this...
Ajaxus
05-22-2006, 04:01 PM
yeah, and where will you find a hose for my huge power washer?
if there's alot of interest i can hold one at a later date..maybe in another week or so? i just cant wait too long because my car hates me right now.
basically i wanna see what interest there is in a detailing day. if there's alot and people will seriously show then ill try to come up with a better date. i just saw the awesome weather this upcoming weekend and started drooling.

05-22-2006, 04:06 PM
where is south bend?
Ajaxus
05-22-2006, 04:18 PM
get a map dumbass...i mean its in the middle of the state just off of the michigan border. lol
seriously though, if you're from michigan and don't know where southbend is, there are bigger issues at hand. (Notre Dame is in South Bend)

The only problem i see is not having enough room or a garage to do it in, 90% of the products i use cant be used in the sun or on a hot surface.
Ajaxus
05-23-2006, 10:19 AM
ive got a 3 car garage and a driveway nearly a 1/4 mile long. i think we've got room. :)
also have a barn that could hold 1-2 more cars if i move stuff around.

If you can get a ramp to get inside the truck doors, sure, why not. lol
Ajaxus
05-23-2006, 01:18 PM
eh, we have an abandoned target here in town that's great for meeting up, but i doubt their water is still running. and the other targets get too much business.
seriously though, we can comfortably clean several cars at once and working as a group we can probably do full details on 3-5 cars and semi-full details on several more in one day.
DrFabulous
05-23-2006, 01:23 PM
Agreed, it's easy to do 4-5 cars at a time if you have a bunch of people. I'd join ya, but its a little far for me.
Ajaxus
05-23-2006, 01:27 PM
yeah, i figured id get mostly indiana and michigan guys/gals for this, maybe some chi-town people.
if i ever acquire a pc im sure i could bring in even more people with the promise of paint restoration, but right now i can't. :(
Metallman56
05-23-2006, 02:49 PM
if coupes there i'm in aj. even if i can only stop by for a min to let him take a look at "how bad my paint is" and so he can tell me what i need to do for my car.

gee thats funny. Go read the focking thread again. I never said I was going to be there. I always said I might, but not sure. Come back with valid statements before you try and pwn someone.
p.s. I dont work for mapquest, so how the fock am I suppose to know how far you are from US 41. Dont fockin come, I can care less.

you know you're gonna post a new thread with a new date anyway, so why not? :D
Ajaxus
05-23-2006, 09:42 PM
yeah but i wanna get people's ideas first. sheesh.
and yeh, us-41 is practically on the indiana/illinois border. so it would be about the same as us driving to chicago again.
btw, i might have one meal covered if everybody is down for some buffalo burgers...

yeah, we're in notre dame country, even tho metallman hates to admit it, which is basically in the middle of the state right at the northern border. if you've ever been to Alma, MI or therabouts then we are almost directly south and slightly west. Basically we are off of US-31 and I-80.

yeah, im not planning on a huge crowd. if you have an issue with me wanting to set up a detailing day then you really do have no life. this isnt going to be some 30minute car wash and we're done, im talking 8hrs+ of hard work.
seriously, if you dont want to take part, then get the fock out. :asshat

yeah, thats why ive got people from close by joining in. you dont have to come out, you never did. you have the option to if you want. or you can stay at home and hump your cat all day, i dont really give a ****. but the people signing up either want to hang out or already live close as is.

soooo sooooorry i didnt remember what you said more then 2 months ago. my fault for not remembering everything everyone said in a 30 page thread. and for the record i wasnt trying to own anyone, just making a point.
then perhapes you should do research before you come in here and insult us. and if you live in/around chicago and dont know where south bend is on a map, then i dont think working for mapquest would even help you.
sorry for whoring up the thread aj.

Jason... if you still have those rims closer to the fall (w/the winter tires), I might be making a drive down there. Or, more likely, next time I'm down there, I might take them off your hands. Don't get too excited, it's just a thought.

Well if you think that a full vehicle detail is just washing your car/truck in your driveway then maybe you should come and hang with us, you might learn alot about detailing. It is actually alot of fun, hard work but fun.
This meet can be more than just a vehicle detail, we can learn alot from each other. I look forward to learning something new from some of you guys and maybe showing some of you how certain products work and how to work them. Im sure i can learn alot from you guys, there is always a better way or product, just gotta have someone show you.

I'd be game to do it (if you were in my state) just because it'd be cool to meet some more of you, and hang out with people that have similar interests.

yeah it counts for something. btw, bring your power washer so we can have two in addition to mine. i'll try to rig up two hoses from the same faucet so we can run them both at the same time.
how does Thursday JUNE 1st work for people? I'm thinking about 10am as a start time, so if we need to buy stuff to finish cars out we have that built in, as well as time to eat.

Thats why i like this forum the best out of the 10 i am on daily. This is the one site that will give you a no bullsh!t assesment on what you did or are going to do to your ride. Unlike other sites that everyone strokes each others c0cks and pats each other on the back for a hideuos and worthless mods or ideas. Its also the one site that the same topic isnt talked about over and over again. I dont search for answers on the 'other' GA site becuase you end up with 8653156356 threads on modding the ram air intake (an example).

damn, and i cant as i said earlier, i work weekends. but we'll be out there till the sun sets and if it does, ive got halogen lights on stands i can set up and make daylight last longer.
if you get off at 5 you can probably make my house by 5:30, if we have a decent number of people working we can probably do a full exterior detail before the sun goes down. then move your car into the garage for the interior. so it could happen if we get the other vehicles done early.

see my deal, wow goin OT in my own thread, is taht i support the newbs and often run the searches for them and give them the best of the results.
as for members that have been around awhile, when they say or do something completely stupid i have no problem calling them out on it and completely offending them. it makes life more interesting, and it gives some people here some good laughs as they wait to see what i'll say next. unfortunately for them, im no longer going to be targeting a particular member as its the only one ive gotten warning points over...

then its perfect, get a clean car and not have to worry about it while you're all drunk and stuff. i cant exactly go earlier than that in the week, because monday-wednesday ill probably be in muncie, IN doing the same, lol
and metallman, bring that spotlight. it'll help for any latecomers and cars we fall behind on.
crap, weather.com is predicting showers on the 1st but the 31st is supposed to be fine. i'll wait till it gets closer and see if they change that prediction at all. if not i might change the date to the 31st and start a new thread when im certain. which shouldnt be more than a day or so from now.

true, but im using weather.com instead of wndu, i figure they'll be a tad more reliable. its just that i dont want to set this in stone with that looming up. there is a possibility we could wash them in my garage, but i just want to avoid that because it would hinder us a bit and i dont know how much water i can get on the walls/ceiling
Metallman56
05-25-2006, 09:18 AM
we can wash in the rain aj. just not wax. but we cant wax in the sun either. so if its warm enough then why not? just tell everyone to bring something to change into.
