Hi all

Over the bank holiday weekend I have been reading a lot of forums for advise on using and cleaning my car. I have come across so many different products that my head wants to explode. In the end however I am much much more knowledgeable about this stuff than when I started. I have been busy ordering waxes, polishes, sealants, applicators etc and have spent a small fortune on these products. It then gave me an idea and I thought I would ask you all this.

Would any of you be interested in learning the steps required for a good looking car finish? Do you have swirl marks and want to remove them, how to apply wax quickly, how to wash the car with minimum effort and keep you car clean by quick detailing?

If you are interested then can you please let me know. I am in touch with Meguiars who have shown interest to do a day for us as long as I can get around 20 people together. The session would be near Silverstone on a Saturday and would last approx 2-4 hours. They will show you all the steps required and the methods used. After teaching the methods they will help you practice this on your own cars too. All the products they will use are their own but you will come away with the right knowledge and if you prefer a different company's products you could easily substitute those for the steps and methods which you would learn.

I will start the list with my name:

why is rick selling his knob? Does he not need it anymore paul? I would have thought that as a man he would have a need for it but I could be mistaken. What have you been doing with your knob that is made you feel a replacement is needed? Did you not heed my suggestion to stay away from S&M?

56 views so far and only one person confirmed. I thought we were all car mad and keep them clean. The Cleaning Master, Tif, himself has put his name down for this. Come on people lets get moving.
