So I met MadMerc up there this morning and was BLOWN AWAY with the turnout, even though it rained!

Alot of Nfluencers were there, including Pan the Organizer, the rock star of the show!! He had a line for hours people trying to meet him. I actually bought him 3 tacos (pastor) and a Coke. The head guy from Rupes had to get his attention between meeting others so I could quickly pass him some lunch, he was very thankful

Others there were Nick and Ivan, didn't get a chance to apologize to Ivan for being an "E-thug" in the past. I saw that Jimbo guy walking around and even Bryan from Apex Detailing just walking around, no little booth for him but I bet he gets one next year. Also got to chat with the guy from Gyeon and Geist, also Veros Detailing products, bought some of their stuff too

I expect next year's meet to be twice the size, I'm assuming they'll host another one because it was such a GREAT turnout. Hopefully they can move people outside because that building was PACKED!

Here's some pics of notable cars...oh I said notable, the first one was more like EPIC & RARE

In closing big thanks to Larry for coming out to the show, in a wheelchair but no way he was missing THIS show, true commitment to the hobby here, nice seeing you Larry

This was my haul from the show today! Once I got home I tried a couple of the products

Since the weather doesn't look good I thought I'd try the interior products, starting with Veros Interior Detailer w/UV blockers & odor absorbers. I used it on my Alcantara as that's what their rep heard me talking about. I have to say the user experience with this was great, these upstarts have done their homework. Madmerc bought some too, looking forward to hearing his review

Next was Geist leather conditioner. This product is made with something unique, remember watching Forensic Detailing about it and made a mental note about trying it, today was the day as it was bought and used. This product is pretty thick, so when you spray it out onto your applicator a little does go a loooong way! It has a great sprayer as well and the product worked in VERY well into my leather bits, really like this product, not cheap but quality pays, doesn't cost

Next was Veros Ultra Slick 5 in 1 polymer sealant. This product does t thing, hence its name. It can be made to be polymer sealant, clay lube, glossing detailer, interior detailer and a drying aid. For today's use I decided on it as a detailer, 2 ounce to 14 oz of distilled. The ease of use on an overcast day, 55 degree day was effortless...AND the gloss was immediate! I'm going to be doing some research on this company this evening, their website and YouTube

Now that's all I've used but I'm about to put a light coat of the Pure:est tire dressing. Madmerc and CSW really like this product, so let's check this out, I'll be right back

Ok, here's how the tires looked after application. My tires have a good base but drove home on damp roads, so I wiped them clean with Bilt-Hamber Surfex @4:1 ratio when I got home. This stuff went on a little glossy but as you can see doesn't have that look after drying, it's a real nice look IMO

How the EN looked after using that Veros 5 in 1 (messed with the distance ratio here, .5)

I'd love to give Pan my 2 cents worth.

Why does he charge $10,000 USD for paid review's and Why doesn't he show more detailing since his been doing it for over 23 year's....:bat:

1st ones easy. He has 879k subscribers. I would have no problem charging 10k a review if I put in the work to get 879k followers. Pretty sure you would too.

Second ones easy. To busy making 10k doing for review video’s

The non-detailing bits is really unneeded, should be on a different channel IMO.

It's all good, your comments about non-detailing stuff is surely noted.

As far as what he makes, well, he started his channel with 0 and went to 879K, he's doing something right and I can't fault him for that. He's very educated and carries himself professionally, now he's reeping the benefits from it.

I wish I was younger because I'm pretty passionate about products and when I like something I go into salesman mode, plus I've got the gift of gab AND I'm passionate about it, just don't know how to channel it

It was fun bringing the B9 out, great showing!

Little rain doesn't hurt, although I should have thrown some Polish Angel on to dial up the beading, maybe next time. :xyxthumbs:

Great shots Klasse!

Visiting a relative in Plymouth, MI. I was born in Detroit, raised in Saginaw, relocated to MN where I live for 5 months and AZ for 7 months a year. All this rain and 50 degree weather is giving me a cold!!!
Yes, I carry a bag with a CBeast and 3D polishes ready to “buff” friends cars when the sun comes out!

I am the lucky steward, this is a part of our dealer inventory.

My first car was an E28 535is so I find every excuse to pull this out as often as I can. Incredible cruiser, previous owners took excellent care of it.

Just curious, how much is it?
