Is that $490 each way? Think you'd need more than 3 weeks to raise that amount. Start driving now and you'll be here by the 12th..Im the MANYeah they are the same prices
With that flight plan, you'd be arriving at the airport after the event already started on Sunday. It'd be a bit awkward if people were showing up for an event and the host was off at the airport and not there to greet his guests. How about a Friday night flight with a Monday return?
How bout the Garry Dean stuff and the CG APC+. Have a secret weapon for streak free windows?
That's a nice list. What's the Extractor Pre-Treatment all about?

I really got that for my wife's Forester. This week I bought a decent vacuum and steamer and plan to hit her car hard when the weather warms. Since I'll have it I figured I'd bring it along.

What does the Extractor Pre-Treatment, pre-treat? I assume it pre-treats the carpet and not the extractor, no? :laughing:
What steamer did you get?

I may have the CM8801fn by that time as well. if you guys want to check that out as well.
But I will bring the IUDJ/CG APC+
Only window I get streaks a little on is the front. But I go over it again with a clean MF and it usually takes care of the job. But im sure you have a few tricks up your sleeve.

I picked up a McCulloch MC-1275. I've been watching this on Amazon for days and grabbed it once it went on sale.
Yes, the pre-treatment is for the carpets!
I don't have an extractor but I read the stuff works just as well with a steamer. We shall see.

Drew, That would be great if you'd shoot some video while you're here. I encourage anyone with a camera to shoot as many photos or videos as they wish, and to post them in the follow up thread of the day's events. But to all photographers and those shooting video, please respect this one guideline...
Any products not sold by Autogeek will be welcome at the event but will not be showcased in the photos of any thread I put together to be posted here at AGO.
I'm really glad you're coming up here Drew!!!

Yeah, I was going to ask if anyone had a coatings thickness gauge, I'm glad you mentioned that because I'd forgotten about it.
Glass is the one thing that's just always a multiple step process for me. I really don't think there's a magic bullet there in the price range I'm willing to operate in. I do pretty much what you've described.

You'll know for sure by the time you're done with Wifey's Subaru.
I have that same steamer, it works well for me.

I'm going to be at the shop by 8:00 am on Sunday morning, so it starts at 8 or anytime after that.
As for it ending...It's kind of like the American Legions do it....we close when the last guy leaves...
I have worked at night and even over night many times so we'll just wing it on the end time.

Dang...I'm going to have nightmares now.
When I spin around with bloodshot eyes and chunks of hair missing, and bellow from the top of my lungs...."GET OUT!!!" :dblthumb2:

Okay. Just keep in mind I'm driving up in a Mustang. Once I've loaded my overnight bag and few bottles of wax and sealant I'll be low on trunk space!Putting my $0.02 for a request - please bring the steamer, etc

Kidding (sort of)... I'll definitely bring the steamer for you to check out.

Bear in mind I'll be driving up Saturday and may show up at the shop as early as 10:30 AM, though possibly closer to 11:00 AM. I'm hoping the hotel lets me check in early.
Whatever you have in mind for Saturday, I'm game. If it's "DA Boot Camp" where I get to learn the ropes on an old panel you have lying around, that's cool.

I know you have my phone number Andrew...But...this is exactly why I encouraged folks to click my signature link (website) and write down my phone number or save it to their cell phones.
Colt the Bolt will no doubt wake me at 6:58 am with stinky dog breath kisses, I'll make my coffee and check out the forum as usual and then I'm game for the first arrival on Saturday, just give me a call and let me know you're ready or on your way and I'll be there.

I also have that same steamer at the shop so there's no reason for him to bring it other than to have more than one on board that day, which shouldn't be necessary.
