yes guys i WILL be in attendance, jeff brown is very knowledgable. this is the kind of seminar that doesn't come along very often,you will get answers from one of the top paint and body guys in the area, along with myself and jeff do NOT miss this seminar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frank Zucchi repainted my car so I can vouch for the excellet work there. Bob detailed it, so this is looking like a pretty good crew all around. I should be able to make it.
Hey Guys Hang tight, I will try to confirm details with Frank on Thurdsay. Have not been able to reach him. Will try to go with 10am till 1pm. From there Frank was going to try and schedule a luncheon at a local winery. Perhaps then you guys could go on a road rally up in the hills. Stay tuned
"Forgive me for I do not have all the details as of yet" This statement worries me! Is this not a "detail" seminar? What no "details"!! I'm in. What can I do? Someone bring Bob Willis, please!
In Oct, I attended the Meguiars clinic at their headquarters in Irvine, CA and it was absolutely priceless. While Meguiars has THE MOST CONFUSING retail product line ever, Mike Phillips made quick work of explaining techniques and product applications for each as well as showing how to evaluate the paint to resolve which product to use. I ended up blowing out my old myths/preconceived ideas about the D/A buffer and buying one.
greg relax, i'll be there, syncro is right a porter cable with the right steps can turn a novice into a pretty capable person. the meguiars ( retail line ) is confusing even to me!! redundantcy abounds, howevever the DETAILER line is more straight foward plus the products work way better. it is always amusing to see detailing steps discussed, as everyone is looking for a miracle wax, or sealant. the real secret is there is no secret, to get paint perfect it takes compounding first with a rotary buffer, then moving on to polishing with the porter cable buffer or cyclo polisher, plus other factors such as temp where your detailing, and lot's of light!to see the flaws in the finish.
I am in. Would like to learn how to care for my new girl (95 F355 black Spyder) and meet some of the guys from Fchat. Just let me know the specifics when you get them firmed up. Thanks.
maybe it should be in my 25,ooo square foot facility? plenty of parking, i will have my detailing lifts installed in two weeks, gilroy is pretty in the spring, maybe.........in all seriousness it's franks deal, but if he is game i will post and see what the consensus is. bob willis performance art
It is an FCA event and has been published in the news letter and web site for some time. I think it's a little late to change.
Is Gilroy in California? I don't think I can afford the gas especially if I put in 100 octance from that station in where was that? Concord? Walnut Creek?!
Bob Come on buddy, do you go on the Snap on truck and say "why do you have so many wrenches and sockets when they all do the same thing"? Due to the many types of surfaces, time challenges, application preferences, etc. This is why Meguiar's has so many products. Understandably, to some, it may become confusing, we will be sure to clear it up on April 22nd. See you guys then. Look forward to it!!!
all this sounds good... allways ues more info on upkeep,but where is franks ferrari restoration shop in livermore????????maybe a address and loc.????thanks
Frank's business is Carrozzeria and the phone is 925-321-6474. I don't have his address but know it's at the end of Vasco Road in Livermore. I cannot remember how to get there, and his address is not on his business card. Bob Willis knows where he is. Bob, enlighten us please.
alright, 580 east, exit vasco road, head south on vasco to tesla, make a left quarter mile on the the right look for flag pole with italian flag, make a right into driveway your there.
