How can I get a copy,please???
Anyone who is registered to attend the Nor'Easter (which I believe you are ) will be receiving a copy of my book at the event. After the event I'll work with wanabe and if he likes my book maybe we can see about getting it put on the site somehow.

No problem! Just to update you . . . the book is now close to 80 pages. It's getting really close to completion too. I just need to write a little bit more text and snap a few more pictures. I think when it's complete the book will be 85-90 pages. If the book is too big to print economically, I might look at putting it on CD-ROM.

Well, you're definitely getting a copy!! It's not quite as good as Mike Phillips' DVD, but I think you'll like it.

Sounds like an awesome event. I always miss the big events in the SE like the Dragon runs and SESM because I'm always busy working on weekends. Mikey, keep us updated on that book you're doing; I'd like a copy!

Good question! We'll have hoses, spray nozzles, sponger or mittts, absorbers, & buckets on hand. For a car care nut such as yourself I would bring . . .

*wash mitt-I'm not sure if we'll be having mitts or sponges there. So, to be safe you might want to bring your own mitt.

*waffle weave drying towel-we'll have Absorbers on hand. So, if you prefer to dry with a WW towel then I suggest you bring your own.

*tire dressing-sorry you'll have to bring your own.

*wheel brushes-sorry you'll have to bring your own.

*bug & tar remover-sorry you'll have to bring your own.

*wax/sealant-sorry you'll have to bring your own.

I think you should be able to get your car looking good with this small list of items. You don't really need wheel cleaner or window cleaner, because IMO car wash does a good job cleaning those areas. You'll probably have a lot of bugs & tar from your long drive. So, be sure to bring some B&T remover and some wax/sealant to touch up those areas.

On a side note, the detailing guide is 100% done. I've asked g-s2k to review it and let me know if anything is missing or there are any misspellings.

After the Nor'Easter I'll make it available to anyone who wants a copy. g-s2k showed me a website which you can host files on. It provides a link you can give out so that other people can download the file.
