Introduction Letter
Detailing Seminars.

Hosting "Workshops" or seminars for car enthusiasts is an important part
Meguiar's everyday global activity. In the UK we have spoken at many club
regional and national meeting venues about Meguiar's automotive surface
care. In the summer months, weather and venue permitting, we follow our
PowerPoint presentation with some hands-on practice of techniques and
products on a members car, typically in the car park.
  
With the recent move to our new facilities in Daventry, it is now possible for us
to host such events almost entirely indoors, in optimal conditions.
  
Our seminars consist of:-

A 45 minute presentation of "Best Practice" in the Training Room.
This is a great opportunity to ask questions and hopefully dispel a few
myths.

•

•

An hour or so working on a visitor's car in our Detailing Bay to
demonstrate products and techniques and give visitors an opportunity
to try for themselves.

Every visitor receives a pack of sachet samples to take away.

•

We aim to attract enthusiasts with a passion for making their car look the best
it possibly can. When such people have experienced Meguiar's products for
themselves, they invariably become advocates for our brand.
  
In the final analysis our motives are entirely selfish.

Our facilities can accommodate 12-20 people, and we will provide
refreshments during the morning. We aim to start the seminar at 10am but ask
if you can aim to arrive for 09.30am where we will provide refreshments.

Regards

[T5frankie]

Is it only me that thinks this sounds the most boring day out ever? no offence that think otherwise, and its in daventry not northampton, 54miles for me

[shepbomb]

Sorry Frankie

[T5frankie]

Sorry Frankie

each to their own mate

[emm]

I'm not going to wash my car on the off chance its mine they use lol.

Ive edited the post now. Its my own fault for typing my reply on a phone.....I live and learn.

Andy

[LeeT5]

I'm not going to wash the off change they us mine lol.

Is there a chance to go and have a tour of the production lines?

I didnt understand a word of that! Do it again.

[LeeT5]

Might well seem boring Frankie, but a day out and being shown how to correctly look after your paint, seems like an opportunity not to be missed. Is there another one next year as i cant make this one?

[abdul]

[I want a T5]

Me and Peanut are going to have to dip out I'm afraid. I had grommets fitted yesterday (in my ears not the car...) and have roaring earache and 'nut was coming up with me.
Sorry to let the side down (again!).

[t5 pete]

[MoleT-5R]

Leaving any time now, so we'll, see you soon

[MoleT-5R]

May I be the first to thank Shepbomb and anyone else involved in todays most informative meet, the only problem now is I'll have to keep a good shine on the cars all the time. A big thank you to Tom and sidekick with her special customer service skills ( getting money out of Munster, not being one of them, amazing what this man will do to avoid paying full price, very amusing :funkybana ) Nice to see some different faces and look forward to meeting you all again.

Many thanks, Adrian and Jayne

[kyboy]

Ditto here, great to meet some new people had a good laugh and learnt something thanks to everyone involved!

[M-R-P]

:worthless:

[MoleT-5R]

:worthless:

not sure about any pics, it was one of those things when you really had to be there to get the best of it, don't think the pics would tell it properly. I think everybody learnt something today, now we've just got to use it. A very informative morning and will I'm sure be repeated for those that could not make this one.

[t5 pete]

Well it was the first time I saw two grown men cuddle together in the back of the c70 on the way home certainly not a sight I would like to see again.
Appart from that its been a really good day and got to learn quite a lot

[jdavis]

wish i could have been there but unfortunately was stuck at work ensuring the North of England gets their Lettuce tomorrow

what do you mean Judge or Graham..???....lol

[M-R-P]

More a combination of the two pmsl!

[munster732]

I would like to point out a couple of things.
1. A true Yorkshireman never pays full price for anything...even if its on the reduced shelf :-)
2. Seeing a member of the Megs accounts team so obviously aroused was fabulous, you could tell that no meant yes!
3. Putting the roof down at 5 degrees and giving the back seat passengers a Botox style frozen and expressionless face is the work of a n0b with a particularly small manhood
4. I hope that frozen snot comes out of leather upholstery without leaving a stain.

Very informative morning, learned a lot and will definitely try harder in the future.

Getting the frozen snot out of the upholstery should be at great test for this...http://www.meguiars.co.uk/product/373/Quik-Interior-Detailer/
