Just a few more hours and the GTOs will be arriving!

This Bonneville is beautiful, but we're going to Meguiarize it!

[Newport Viper]

Very cool cars! Glad I stopped by.

My favorite was the copper colored vert.

[Mike Phillips]

Talk about a rowdy group of GTO owners, these folks were raring to go! They brought a great selection of Pontiacs to Meguiar's today also, including GTOs, LeMans and Bonnevilles, in both hardtops and convertibles. It was truly a colorful and fun cross-section of Pontiacs to work on!

While the owner Ray backs in his beautiful Pontiac Bonneville, One Tire Fire poses for the shot!







No matter what the year, GTOs have great looking front-ends on them...

[Mike Phillips]

It's kind of hard not love this job...

[Mike Phillips]

when 25 people with passion get busy with one car, it doesn't take long to wipe it down clean and then clay it till all the paint, glass and chrome are smooth and silky feeling!

[Mike Phillips]

Ray, the owner uses the Meguiar's G100 Dual Action Polisher to remove swirls and restore a show car shine while his wife attends to the chrome bumpers with our NXT All Metal Polysh.






Here's the GTO Wrecking Crew that lasted till the end!




More pictures later... it's time to close down Meguiar's Garage and call it a good night!

Mike,

Even after attending this class for the third time. I've learned new and reconfirmed my current detailing techniques. Thank you for having our old GTOs. I think our club members went away with a lot of new knowledge of the detailing process. They probably ordered more Meguiar's products then they thought they originally would.

This was a great day.

Thanks go out to Mike and Meguiar's.

Maybe next time I will bring Project Greenbird. It could use a good detail before the POCI Convention.

Saturday's Class



When I got home I applied what you showed me in class. I washed my 1992 LT1 Corvette (orig paint, and at one point a daily driver) and clayed it. Next I used my Meguiar's polisher on the roof(it was getting late) with 82 and that did ok, but then I stepped it up to 83 and WOW! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. After the 83 I returned to 82 and it go even better!! I think I shot myself in the foot. My wife now says why do we have to get it painted it looks great. Half of the roof looks like it is foggy and the other half looks well GREAT! I can't say enough good things about Mike and the class. This class idea was great. I think I learned things that I will pass on to my boys. Nobody ever showed me the correct way to take care of a paint job. I'm forever greatfull for the instruction. I will attend future classes there, you can bet on it. I will bring my vette down when I get it registered. See, I got a custom engine and I have to get a new computer to change the fuel management system to pass smog. I think that when a company got the extra mile to help its customers, and that all the information is right on, those customers will be more that customers they will be lifers.
THANKS MEGUIAR'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tim Larson]

Those vehicles ended up looking fantastic. Thanks to everyone that came out. We were so glad you could make it. I can't wait until the next time you can come back and play some more.

Nice Firebird Dave!

[Rubicon Ron]

Great time Saturday worshop

Very informative and the best thing is that Mike was not monotoned and kept my interest up. Even with clear coat on paint it is easy to scratch (who knew). I will try to attend wednesday evening open garage. This information that I attained is very valuable in maintaing the paint condition on the 64 Bonneville, 2000 Bonneville SSEi, 1993 Toyota Camry, 2002 GMC pickup and 2005 wrangler Rubicon jeep.
