So long as the good lord god gives me the gift of life and the means to pay for it, I will surely be there. Funny thing is I'll be in orlando next month.

Haha, I don't believe he's with ONR, but he's one of the well-known name in the detailing community.
Search "The Garry Dean Wash Method" on youtube. You'll see the 1 bucket method I was referring to.

These are GREAT pics and commentary! I had to laugh at your pic of Dennis Gauge and the huuugggeee line. If I could only grow a cool mustache.... I love that guy!
I think you have summed up much of what this website forum community is all about. You got to see some of the cars we type about. You got to meet the members and the leaders in this industry and got to have a great time. Plus, as someone said earlier, hang out with your son. My Pops got me into cars. Again, great pics and thanks for sharing your day with your Geek family.

hello art, the rupe's rep had nothing negative to say about the "washer mod" they had no pros or cons on the mod. frankly, they said it was not needed. i asked larry from ammonyc the same question, seeing that he is an avid rupes user and he said his rupes + washer mod = game over!
when i asked about switching the backing plates on the 21, they said it was ok.. just as long as you dont use it ALL THE TIME. i told them that i normally use the 6'' backing plate with 7'' rupes foam pads for large panels on the car.. and i would switch to the 5'' backing plate to hit the smaller panels. they said it was ok to do that, they asked if i had experience any vibrations with the 5'' backing plate and i said no.. they said thats the only con about using the 5'' backing plate.. so to summarize, they said it was ok, just as long as i dont convert the 21 intoo a 5'' backing plate machine only. i asked larry the same question, and he saids he does it all the time. no problems.
thats unfortunate frank, its really a great event try to make it out there today, ive also been watching the sunday classes online thru their live feed!
glad you enjoyed them :xyxthumbs:
Great photos to add to anyone's collection, thank for posting!
hello bobbyg, thanks for looking at my pics.. and yes, these will definitely be in my treasured photos collection.. cant wait for next YEAR.. as you can see autogeek goes ALL OUT with this event!
it was an awesome day to say the least. dennis is a very cool guy, i chatted with him once he was out of his booth.. he is the definition of a CAR GUY. my son and i had a great time as well.. he came back with his cellphone full of photos and he cant wait to show them to his friends. thanks to autogeek for all the fun!

The rep. you speak of is the owner (or at lest the Gent.That I spoke to).I asked him to join the forum and weigh in on questions concerning their products and procedures.I hope he does.

Nice pictures Josue!
Just to note, Josue is not only a great photographer but he's been a regular lately at our Thursday night open garage projects. Here he is running a rotary buffer with one hand while polishing Bill 1967 Mustang.

i always like meeting new people, specially the ones that share the same passion for detailing cars like myself. we will definitely link up next year :xyxthumbs:
hey tim! the guy i spoke to its the same one that i posted a picture of. i hope he does join the forum because quite frankly im not 100% convince on using only one bucket for onr washes.
Nice pictures Josue!
