Sounds good Aaryn.
I'll plan on being here about 7:30am.
The event officially starts at 9:00am but I know a few guys are coming early.
See you tomorrow!
Maybe we should machine sand the rental car?

Hahaha! :laughing:
The rental would certainly benefit from
exactly that ... & a PDR guy wouldn’t go a miss either. Had to laugh when the guy checking it out to us said he was just going to check it was clean ... I’m guessing the answer was NO. :dunno:
Got me to sign for it to say that it was checked over, to which I asked about the dent here, here, here & here, or the scuffs on the wheels .... etc etc ....
Anyhow - we made it. We are here in Stuart at the Courtyard Marriott (just across the way from Autogeek) & we didn’t hit anything or anyone on the way from Orlando to here. I guess however that the speed limit signs are simply a suggestion??? :dunno:
Roll on tomorrow. :buffing:

Yeah, here in the U.S. the speed signs are more or less an guideline. :laughing:
I personally think the drive from Stuart to Orlando is horrible. The traffic is always congested and hectic. All around the Orlando area the highways are always under construction somewhere.
The only time I travel there is for work purposes and as soon as work is over I knock the dust off my shoes and get the heck out of there.
Glad you all made the trip safely.

When I went to visit Aaryn and his family it took 2 hours 20 minutes to get to Kissimmee from Tampa. The traffic on I-4 was 15mph for 35 miles. :doh:
That's usually an 70 minute drive.
But it was well worth it to get to meet up with them.
But I'm with you Mike, the roads have been under construction for decades.
Aaryn, just wanted to say it was a real pleasure to meet you and your family.
Your expertise in this field was much appreciated. Your advice and kind words are something that can carry a business a long way.
Watching you ceramic coat that blue Audi was watching a master at work.
Again, thanks for traveling all the way here and our best wishes go out to your wife a kids.
P. S. I’m not sure if you’ll still be in town on Monday the 6th, there is going to be a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral, Kennedy Space center sometime after 9pm on January 6. It can be seen from miles away and it can really be an awesome sight.
Rocket Launch Schedule | Kennedy Space Center
Check the Kennedy Space Center website for launch time details.
Maybe we’ll meet again,
Jerry and Grace

No.
We had a HUGE turnout and most people that came wanted to learn how to work on their own car.
Here’s the link for pictures and comments.

I’ve shared a few pics already. Not working on Sunday so more on Monday.
Hey Mike, Thanks for hosting this open house. It was a great event, everyone stayed busy. Each car coming through presented a new teachable moment. (Grace won't let her paint get that oxidized again.)
But, You know what product got the the most attention?? It was the Grit Guard Universal Detailing cart. Everyone coming through the car wash and claying station said, "where has this been my whole life?"
And, thanks to Aaryn for making the long journey, just to be put to work as soon as he got here.
Thanks,
