*COMPLETED* - Apr 18th - Spring Detail Day, Hosted by Morrie's Mazda!

That's right folks, it's finally time to shine up your car for summer! Morrie's is welcoming us again for a spring detail day!


WHERE: Morrie's Mazda in Minnetonka (Linky) (Mapy)

WHEN: Sunday April 18th, 9am-12pm.

We will be using Morrie's facility, so it will be indoors. They will be providing their professional equipment for our use. This consists of vacuums, a carpet extractor, and a few buffers. We will also be able to use the carwash and hand wash bay. We will be providing detailing products. Their facility is able to accommodate around 7 cars at a time, on a first come-first served basis. Once you're done detailing, you'll need to move your car outside to make room for someone else.

You are encouraged to bring any detailing equipment that you have as well as any product you'd like to use if you've got something you especially like. It sounds like Morrie's only has a few buffers, so if you have one you could bring to share, we'd be able to get more people working at once.

Just FYI... this will be COMPLETELY free to all members. Morrie's will be supplying Car-Brite professional detailing products. You will have to detail your own vehicle (or bribe someone else to do it for ya, I hear Nate loves Coors Light). There will be a couple Morrie's pros there to give pointers and explain the process.

Are non-Mazdas allowed? My car could use some of Nate's TLC.

ALL CARS ARE WELCOME AT ANY EVENT.

mnmazda will never discriminate any car for any reason. Even Luke's Honda (I can't believe I am saying that)


My TLC will be there for helping not doing the work.

I seem to recall seeing pictures of a Z there last time. Hopefully my rex will be back on the road in time for this event!

So does the attraction of some higher end car(s) available for ride along get more people there? ;)

I think it's awesome that Morrie's opens their doors for us, but frankly 3 hours isn't enough time to get much done. This is a great event for people that don't own a buffer or just want to hang out while people try to get a little bit of something done with their car (wash it and maybe claybar it, or get a single buff/polish done) but I think it would be a great idea to have another event that's more of an all-day thing at a location with plenty of shade, so we can all take the time to vacuum, wash, clay, polish, wax/seal, dust out the insides and clean the windows.

This is quite funny to me. My MSP had 115k miles when I sold it and it looked damn near mint (as far as the paint). Never claybared the thing once. Never spent more than 1 hour cleaning it. I think I vacuumed it once a year and the interior was pretty darn clean too. Vast majority of the washes were done at the $2.50 DIY car wash where I would soak the car and dry it with a bath towel. I constantly got compliments on it and lots of people thought it was "new" when it was 4-5 years old. Honestly, with today's paints you don't need 3 hours to make your car look really damn good.

Hes not talking about one car taking 3 hours. He means everyone getting a fair shot at the equipment for multiple people in 3 hours. I see what he's saying. If it gets really backed up i might just hang out, my car can always get cleaned up another day

The key here is also keeping of interest to Morries. I can't say it's beneficial to have them open all day on a Sunday just to have mostly current Mazda owners hanging out. We could easily do another detail day where we have plenty of space and require everyone to bring their own tools, but this gives us the chance to have others come out to chat with some of the Morries guys, learn some items from those more experienced that they can also take home with them. PLUS the ability to have a relaxing Sunday for a test drive or two as last year I know they took people out in a new Miata. These events, to me, are more about networking and getting people involved more.
 
Shoot. Jk to Adrian and Mike. I thought it was much later in the day...I'm not even out of church before 12. Sorry guys.
Mike I'll have to meet you someplace else.

Pretty awesome that the Yatta folks made it out, great showing of Mazda owners there even if they weren't all MNMazda members, lol.
