Requirements:
You must have first attended our Car Care 101 class and can document this with your forum name on a sign-up thread in our Sign-up Forum. We will check forum names and e-mail addresses to the sign-up thread forum, precedence will always go to members that have legitimately replied to a Car Care 101 Sign-up thread and attended the Saturday class and there's a record of this here on the forum.
Classes Size Limitations
12 individuals, these classes are not available for entire clubs. Small Classes mean more one-on-one attention.
Electronic Lottery
Due to the overwhelming demand for our Advanced classes, the only fair way we've come up with to determine who can attend is by an electronic lottery.
Besides the lottery, you have to have attended one of our Saturday Car Care 101 Clinics and be able to show you've attended by having signed-up via the sign-up thread and then actually attended.
Meguiar's Advanced Class will cover,
* How to wet-sand paint by hand
* How to use an Air Powered DA Sander
* How to use the Rotary Buffer
* How to use a Dual Action Polisher
* Plus a lot more...

Thursday Night Open Garage
Time: 5:15PM to 10:00pm
Place: Meguiar's Inc
17991 Mitchell South
Irvine, CA 92614
Please don't arrive until after 5:15pm since we need time to free up parking spaces as employees don't start leaving until 5:00pm - Thank you!
On Thursday nights, starting at 5:15pm and going until around 10:00pm, Meguiar's will host an Open Garage in which registered members of our Meguiar's Online Discussion Forum can sign-up to try out Meguiar's complete arsenal of products and tools with experienced and trained experts on hand to help you as well as show you the proper techniques for getting show car results!
The goal of these events is to give people a chance to:
- Try out products they may have never used or even known about.
- Learn the correct technique for applying and removing specific products or using different tools.
- Ask questions, get answers to specific problems
- Have fun!
These classes are not for bringing your car down to do a complete detail as in machine polishing and waxing the entire car. We will show you the products and techniques using a fender or the hood so that you learn how to do the process yourself at home. By doing this more people can get their car into the garage and learn in the limited amount of time that we have available. That, after all, is what these events are about - people learning how to detail their car, not one or two people using the garage from 5:00pm to 10:00pm to detail their entire car.
