But here's a little tidbit!

NXT Garage Clinic- Feb. 12, 2005
Today was our monthly garage clinic held by my MINI club (c3) aka Cooper Club for Charities. We had an excellent turnout, and the sun came out just for us! How fortunate was that? Considering it was raining pretty hard yesterday! An even greater surprise was that Mike Phillips stopped by to help out and attend my clinic! What a surprise and treat that was. My mentor and good buddy participating in MY clinic!! Wow.

This month we had 15 MINI's which was a bit lower than last month, but to be expected considering it was still raining in many parts of LA that people were coming in from. We had lots of sunshine, doughnuts & coffee for breakfast, cookies, chips, pizzas, salad, and a Valentines Day/birthday cake! We had 3 new participants and a good mix of 2002- 2005 MINI's!


Featured Products:
NXT Tech Wax
NXT Spray Wax
ScratchX
Quick Clay Detailing System
NXT Car Wash
Quik Detailer


Mike Phillips Brought Us a Banner!!



Shawn's Beautiful MCS



All My Meguiar's Products Ready for the Demo

This was all the Meguiar's products I own and ready for use!

Food for Thought

One of our members, Charles Engen was very kind to bring us doughnuts!

MINI's and More MINI's!!

15 MINI's came to our clinic today.

Rain and Sun Protection

Because the weatherman said to expect light morning showers, we set up a 15'x20' tent provided by Matthew Hong. It must have been over an hour to set this up, and instead of rain, we got sunshine!

Everyone Celebrating after Erecting the Tent!



Hazards Everywhere!

While the sun was being nice to us, these birds overheard made us thankful for our shelter!

Valentines Day Weekend

Can't forget the cookies either!

NXT Detailing and Vinyl Clinic???

We like variety and offering more than just detailing for our participants. We also do custom vinyl!

A Little Pep Talk

Each month we do this clinic, we become a little more organized. We had some club meeting details to cover first before getting to the fun detailing! That's me, Richard (OctaneGuy) commanding the stage. LOL, as Mike looks on.

Keith Privartsky's first clinic

Keith brought this pre-owned Pure Silver MCS. The paint was in decent condition, but it was rough to the touch, so we clay barred the whole car.

No Stone Left Unturned!

Dave Bunting removed his wheels and cleaned the inside of them using Matthew's Racing Jack.

Another Fun Detailing Day!

Thanks Richard to organize detailing clinic, and special thanks to Mike Phillips from Meguiar's for showing us his talent

Insane Tire spray was GREAT!, 2days after the clinic, my tires are still looking "wet".

It was really nice to have Mike Phillips from Meguiar's there at the event. Many thanks to him for coming on his weekend to help out the club. His demo was really impressive.

It's always great to see new faces and to hangout with the MINI clan.
