Quozl Posted 31March, 2014 Report Share Posted 31March, 2014 After speaking to Russ and to Dave Ellis from Car Care Products we have decided to switch it up for the May Coffee & Cars event and have an Introduction to Detailing session with Dave at his office in Coorparoo, details as follow. When: Saturday 3rd of May 2014 Prompt 10 AM start Where: Car Care Products 1 / 11 Castlemaine St, Coorparoo, QLD, 4151 Corner of Morley & Castlemaine St Coorparoo. Google Map Description: Saturday Morning Coffee & Cars with an introduction to detailing discussion from David Ellis of Car Care Products. Coffee afterwards at local coffee club @ Stones Corner if there is interest. If we can have an early indication of numbers we may be able to also have someone there to have a quick chat about ECU tuning for those cars that come with one of those new fangled whiz bangers thingos. From this event we will gauge interest in organising a proper half day detailing clinic with Dave at their workshop at a future date that would cover the whole process and techniques and would include lunch etc. Please post your intention to attend as well as any questions in this thread.

Quozl Posted 1April, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 1April, 2014 As I mentioned in the first post, this session will be an introduction to detailing discussion by Dave. If there is sufficient interest after this we will organise a proper detailing clinic day with him but sorry Cal even at that he only usually does a main panel of the car to teach techniques as there isn't enough time to detail someone's whole car for them . I do know an excellent detailer if you're looking for someone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted 1April, 2014 Report Share Posted 1April, 2014 Nah I'm not looking for a detailer. I was just looking for something for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twood Posted 7April, 2014 Report Share Posted 7April, 2014 From the Google map it looks like it is just about next door to Harding Performance-Guy Harding has done so special performance stuff with Porsches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quozl Posted 7April, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 7April, 2014 It is, actually it is the same building, Car Care Products office is upstairs and that's why if we get the numbers we are trying to get Guy to join us and have a chat to those with ECU's Cheers Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quozl Posted 24April, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 24April, 2014 Just a bump to remind those already down to attend or anyone else interested in joining us that this Intro to Detailing discussion is on a week from Saturday on the 3rd of May at 10 AM at the location listed in the first post.

Dave_CCP Posted 28April, 2014 Report Share Posted 28April, 2014 Hi Guys, Dave from Car Care Products here. Just a couple of things to think of for Saturday's get together. 1. For the follicly challenged (like me) bring a cap as we will be outside. As Al has mentioned we lease space from Harding Performance and while we can come and go from our showroom as we please, unfortunately this weekend we don't have workshop access. 2. I will be able to inspect cars on the day and give you an idea of what you can achieve with DIY detailing or if you prefer to have someone do the detailing for you I can help with this too. 3. Bring lots of questions, the idea behind the session is to educate and explode some of the internet myths that surround detailing. As we sell many brands this isnt a "you must use brand X it's the best in the world" session. Most of what I will talk about is applicable to all brands of products and cars. 4. If it is raining......we will re-shedule for another day. I look forward to meeting you on Saturday 3rd May @ 10.00am. Cheers Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted 2May, 2014 Report Share Posted 2May, 2014 I've driven to my dads place in Allora, and to Warwick and back to Brisbane a few times in my Porsche in the past week I've also been driving it to work for the past few days. I'm tempted to wash it before the detailing event because I don't want it to look too bad lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quozl Posted 2May, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 2May, 2014 Meh, I'm in Marti's so if she washes it fine if not there's no way I'm doing it. LOL but damn was it fun in the rain this morning on the way to the surgeons for my shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
