Andrew Smith 156 Report post Posted April 30, 2017 That is good problem solving, going to give it a try. Should I invite my brother in law and his shiney Audi? He is in to detailing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 111 Report post Posted April 30, 2017 By all means the more the better . He can only enter the overall competition not the one judged by the members. All friends and family are welcome competing or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 111 Report post Posted May 3, 2017 Are you meeting in Endon and driving up? I've no idea where that is but I like the idea of a drive before the show. 1 Mark-in-Stoke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark-in-Stoke 488 Report post Posted May 3, 2017 Neal It's not a million miles away but there are some nice roads up to Warslow, also we meet at a pub which does a nice "all you can eat" breakfast. The Plough ST9 9BE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably won't be that shiny on the day - that was from picking it up last week from the detailers place. It's my daily doing 80 miles plus there's the drive over on the day ...

Lowe 191 Report post Posted May 5, 2017 That was me last weekend when I picked the car up. Sun came out, set the flake off and three grown men just stood looking saying nothing for about 5 minutes. 2 Lauren and Neal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted May 5, 2017 Had the same effect looking at Lee's brand new car at Japfest last weekend, looks stunning in the sun. But less so when the sun goes in. 1 Lowe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lowe 191 Report post Posted May 5, 2017 Is Lee's grey? I know what you mean - under 'normal' light it's a fairly bland colour and it just kinda blends in to the background. However if the sun's out, flake's out. The guy who did the detail for me likened the flake to a carriage on the Waltzers haha! 1 Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted May 5, 2017 Yeah, Lee's is grey. You get a similar effect with the pearlescent white in the sun too when it isn't blinding you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robins 4 Report post Posted May 5, 2017 Would be rude of me not to come to this as I live in Buxton! So its only just down the road. Will definitely be having a mooch across. Probably won't be entering the show and shine but will be the first time I've met any other owners, so be good to see what other people have done to theirs 1 Andrew Smith reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 111 Report post Posted May 5, 2017 Hi @Robins. The way things are looking just having a car cleaned somepoint this month will put you in with a shout of a trophy. @Andrew Smith.
