Hey Mike I don't think I'm going to be able to make it tomorrow. My brother just flew in from Chicago so I'm going to be spending some time with him. Sorry for the short notice. I'll try to make it next time there's a class.

***Rain Date***
Currently it's raining outside so if the rain continues we'll reschedule the 1956 Chevy Bel Air for another date and instead I have a substitute project to work on.
The substitute project is my truck. At our last detailing boot camp class I let my class practice how to wetsand and use rotary buffers.
And there are still some sanding marks and swirls to remove even to this day...
Most owners of show cars won't drive them in the rain, especially really nice streetrods with detailed undercarriages.
So if the rain causes a cancellation I'd like to let everyone test out,
The new Rupes polishers
The new Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish & Black Label Diamond Paint Coating
It will be fun no matter what and this is the LAST car project till 2014
Be here or miss out on all the fun...

***Update***
Just received a phone call from Terry, the owner of the 1956 Chevy Bel Air and he's sorry to cancel but there's just too much rain to drive his car from Jupiter to Stuart.
For my long distance drivers like Chris aka Italian Guy, might want to sit this one out and save yourself from a long drive in the rain.
I'm going to remove the sanding marks and swirls in my truck tonight and then apply the new Black Label Diamond Paint Coating and anyone that wants to join me is welcome.
I've invited a number of local guys that don't get on the Internet and my fear is some of these guys wouldn't think about the fact that guys like Terry won't drive pristine cars like his Bel Air in the rain. So instead of canceling tonights project and having guys show up to find closed doors I will be in the garage starting at 5:00pm

Perfectly okay...
If we start at 5:00pm we should be done fairly fast.
- The Rupes Duetto should make quick work of getting the paint back to defect-free.
- Machine apply the Black Label Paint Cleansing Polish.
- Hand apply the Black Label Diamond Paint Coating.

Off the top of my head I know I've had guys driver over from Tampa and Clearwater, that about 200 miles.
I have guys come down from Miami and up from Fort Lauderdale.
Now for the boot camp classes I have guys that drive in from thousands of miles instead of flying for their own various reasons.
