  • Meguiar's - So1o helps with Super Snake

    Just prior to the Barret-Jackson Auction we were contacted by the owner of the Super Snake. The owner had a major issue with a few panels and needed Meguiar's help urgently.





    Stephanie DeAnda, our Southwest Regional Manager, drove up to evaluate the vehicle and it looked like the painter had buffed all but one part of the car and there were deep swirls, scratches and light sand marks. Since the paint was still fairly fresh, Stephanie started and finished using our new So1o System. She also worked the Solo system on the 3 surrounding panels where needed. She removed all of the imperfections using Solo. She even cleaned up the Mag wheels with our new Mag and Aluminum Polish. The owner also wanted her to touch the engine as well







    When the owner saw the car, they both were very pleased. In fact, his actual comment was "You are a gift from GOD!"



    The day before the auction, the owner drove the car with 2 police escorts and a video crew to the Auction just a few miles away. When it arrived our Special Events Team wiped it down and took care of it over the weekend. The car also received a final wipe down just before it went up on the block.

    It was a team effort by many people here at Meguiar's to help in make this car shine at the show...It looked great !

    Of course...on Saturday it broke all sorts of records for an American car at Auction and went for $5.5 Million.

                    When Harley Cluxton needs help with his $5 million Cobra, he calls Meguiar's. Isn't strange he didn't go with a purveyor of hyper-expensive boutique detailing products? You'd think Mr. Cluxton could afford those boutique products. I guess he goes for quality and experience.

                      So just how nervous was Stephanie before starting on this little project?

                      Note to self: bookmark this thread for the next time someone on another forum makes a comment about Meguiar's just being an average over the counter consumer product line.

                      Yep, if Meguiar's is good enough for Pebble Beach - and the Super Snake - then it's plenty good for my cars!!

                        The most amazing thing about CSX3015 was the 10% buyer's premium AND the 8% seller's fee!

                          Very true.....that part alone is more $$$ than most of the cars sold. I guess if you've got 5 million for a car, what's another half million premium on top of that. Man, I can't imagine what it's like having that much money to spend on a car.

                              That's easy. What's hard for me to imagine is owning a really nice car. I can't imagine owning cars more expensive than my 2004 Mach 1 and 2005 Subaru Legacy GT. I'm so anal about them that I know Porsche ownership would have put me in the hospital.

                              Heck, when I bought my F250 Powerstroke 4X4, I forced myself to by the XT model. Rubber instead of carpeting, manual tranfser case and manual front hubs. (OK, I did get the jeweled headlights, chrome bumpers and aluminum wheels so it doesn't look like an Edison work truck!)

                              I actually take my truck off road, in mud and through snow. Had I bought a King Ranch, I'd be detailing it right now!
