Epic encounter and work. Your write-up and pictures take us to the scene, thanks a lot for sharing.

If there wasn't 5 testimonials it would be really hard to believe this results are for real!

Kind Regards.

Thanks everyone. This was my first time working with such a talented crew. I learned a ton and had a blast, and can attest to the validity of the claims made by the photos. The truck looked great!

Now, we did have a few neighbors wondering what was up, but it was mostly people who thought we were having a garage sale. No, Don's 400-towel collection is not for sale.

James is right about the Flex making my HF DA feel...inadequate at best. I'll have to keep my eye out for one of those VIP specials. ;)

I did mention to Bryan's wife I'm not responsible for any purchases moving forward :props:

Ha Ha. That's not my collection Bryan, that's just what I brought for us to use. Left a few hundred at home. My buddy was in awe of how good his truck looked. Thanks again to the group for making this happen. Was a great way to spend a Saturday!

Yeah that was just a few things to get the job done. I can personally vouch for Don's supplies = warehouse Im the MAN

It definitely was a great experience and honor for me to work along side by side with everyone on Sat. I do believe the result speaks for itself. Given what we had accomplished....I would like to share a few take-a-ways from this event.

1. Different machines as well as pads were used on the truck but they all got us to the same place. This proves the point .... the best tool is the one we know best. Flex or the Rupes????? what does it matter as long as it gets the job done.

2. Cut with 205 then follow up with a finishing polish. Really???? Yes! Really.

3. It is so much easier to apply a coating using an assembly line method vs doing it by yourself. On any given panel, 5 set of eyes were looking for high spots. All of us commented on how efficient this was.

4. The score is Team AGO Bay Area 1, Tacoma 0.:xyxthumbs:

I am looking forward to the next meeting.

Lol, yeah definitely a Kodak moment with the looks we were getting as people drove by :buffing:
 
Great work on that truck. I aspire to be at that level of quality.

Also, you're totally right about not wanting to stop working to take pictures. I'm the type of person to forget about life once I start working... that means ignoring calls/texts/eating, haha. Often times I have to remind myself that I MUST take pictures.

Thanks Art! Just wondering, are you guys planning another meet n greet?

As of now, I haven't planned anything yet. However, the thought has been creeping up in the back of my mind.

If any other AGO SoCal Detailer has one, you could count me to go participate.

Well if you happen to plan one out, keep me in mind, I'm sure I could make the trip this time...
 
You guys did a great job. I wish I had that many people to help me out while I work haha.

I am with you guys. I started the day with the Rupes 21 and finished with the Flex. I like the smoothness of the Rupes but force rotation is still force rotation!!!!:props:
 
great work on the truck, thanks for posting. need to do something like that here for our NC members
 
What a great read - thanks so much for sharing.

I wish I could do something like that over here with my fellow detailers.... the problem is that the predominant mindset is one of 'every man for himself' and there is distinct unwillingness to adopt the mindset of this forum where knowledge is shared so freely.

If only everyone adopted the 'each one teach one' philosophy I really think they would benefit and so would all of our customers...

Oh well....

Thanks Lawrence! Yeah I feel ya there, too many Generals without enough soldiers. We kinda had that challenge of what direction we wanted to go but ultimately, Don brought the vehicle so he had the final say. Experience is a great teacher and for all of us, regardless of the skill set, everyone participated :buffing:
 
The truck looks great! It was so cool that you all could get together and work on a project. It looked like it was a lot of fun.
 
What a great thread to stumble across. Thank you for sharing.
