TGGRRR (Ali) Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Posted May 6, 2014 Sweet! What kind of event? Still waiting on details, sounds like detailing, tint and cookout kind of thing Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Posted May 7, 2014 I added some details about the event, more to come Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

Poison Ivy Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 I can't see the photos right now (at least not on my work computer), I'm sure it looks amazing, but $700 is way out of my budget.
kanundrum Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 Nice Meeting everybody at MOTD. I am sapan with the Scion FRS and I help Ptuning plan their events. In addition to a detailing day we are going to be trying to get some clinics on Mini maintenance. Is there anything anyone wants to particularly know how to do or just general rules of thumb on car and more knowledge dissemination?
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Posted May 7, 2014 Remember there's more than the detailing here. There will also be a fun BBQ, beer tasting and meet up Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
kanundrum Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 I can't see the photos right now (at least not on my work computer), I'm sure it looks amazing, but $700 is way out of my budget. It is hosted on photobucket which is blocked lots of times by work locations. Either way thanks!

Have you got any women that work at PTuning that would do a ladies car care clinic for us? Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
kanundrum Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 Have you got any women that work at PTuning that would do a ladies car care clinic for us? No Ladies unfortunately but we would happy to work with everyone and show how to do things with 0 knowledge. Even talking or pointing out information about cars is always fun for us no matter what gender the audience :rock:

elpollodiablo Posted May 7, 2014 Report Posted May 7, 2014 $700 for a detail? Did I read that right? Though the car *does* look utterly gorgeous after. . . Alice Cooper - Hyper Blue R53 with a few light mods ???? - Montego Blue 335xi with even lighter mods [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Posted May 7, 2014 $700 for a detail? Did I read that right? I think the Opticoat is expensive. But I did warn Sapan that MINI members may not bite for the detailing. However, the rest of the event sounds fun and is a lot cheaper Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
kanundrum Posted May 8, 2014 Report Posted May 8, 2014 $700 for a detail? Did I read that right? Though the car *does* look utterly gorgeous after. . . A Lot of people say that about the price at first but then see the results and its worth the effort. I think so anyways. I love it when things are done with a very attention to detail to a point where its OCD even. Maybe I am :stupid: haha, and Yes as Ali said Opticoat it self is expensive and the price just went up on it a few months back, its like having a nice barrier of protection between the elements and your car for those who want the look of the plastic clear bra. I do have pictures from last years event located here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showpost.php?p=792980&postcount=1
Blown_xa Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 I remember a long time ago, I used to detail cars. In fact, I was part owner of the business ! A full detail is something many don't know about, a good full detail is a lot of work (took myself up to 2 days for a car). Watch these guys in action , you will be intrigued .
TATTRAT Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 Have you got any women that work at PTuning that would do a ladies car care clinic for us? Just curious, but a full detail/car care clinic, should be a full detail/car care clinic, right? What's a "ladies car clinic" going to offer that wouldn't be already covered? flickr
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Posted May 10, 2014 Just curious, but a full detail/car care clinic, should be a full detail/car care clinic, right? What's a "ladies car clinic" going to offer that wouldn't be already covered? The ladies car clinic has nothing to do with detailing. A lot of women want to know how to do basic maintenance on their car but are not comfortable with asking the guys and feeling like they have dumb questions. We are trying to set this up again where we can have a ladies clinic for maintenance of your MINI Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
kanundrum Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 How long does the process take? A Normal Car is about 10 to 14 Hours. With their team of 5 to 6 they can usually get it car done from top to bottom (Mini Cooper size) in about 7 to 8 hours. Basically you show up early and leave a little late!

What's a "ladies car clinic" going to offer that wouldn't be already covered? As ali said There will be 2 offerings depending on crowd/audience and what is requested. I will help walk over along with a female (maybe lined up) basics of car maintenance. Then We will get part of the detailing crew to go over basic maintenance of paint/opticoat ! :top:
