Thumbs up Poorboy's World Detailing Weekend 2013

Hi all I have noticed that there are a few people that live around us here in NY so I would like to inform you about an awesome Detailing Weekend that we put on here at the shop. This year is going to be the best one yet! We will have a lot of great people here that can share their knowledge so it is the perfect place for a newcomer to the detailing world looking to learn a few things as well as the old timer to share their love and techniques of detailing.

Please feel free to post this on any forum that you would like! I'd love to get some F-150's at the event we could take over

Here is the info:

Poorboy’s World is proud to announce our 2013 Detailing Weekend June 8th & 9th.
Event to be held at our warehouse , 210 West Nyack Road, West Nyack, NY
Vehicle space will no longer be limited with our expansion, but please sign up early on this thread so we can get an actual count. We would like to invite on-line people, from any site, as well as local people.
Please feel free to post this on any other boards / forums you frequent.
One of our goals is to put faces to the names we talk to on-line. We use the weekend format so there is time for personal interaction and instruction. This year brings some changes with an introductory class to all our products in our new showroom. Many people want to share how to use the products and machines to their fullest extent, so we are also having swirled and damaged hoods to learn or practice on supplied by our neighbors at the body shop . Individuals and families are welcome!!

Cost
A $25 per car space for 1 or both days, if you bring a second car it's $25x2 and a $10 food & drink fee for passengers.
It can be paid in advance by PayPal (poorboysworld@att.net) or credit card.

Your $25 fee will include:

1) a reserved parking spot
2) lunch for either or both days
3) Ice cold bottled drinking water all day
4) The full line of Poorboy’s World branded products, except microfiber towels, clay, tape,pads etc...
5) Washing station with power washer, buckets, and mitts for washing vehicles.
Sorry, no brushes will be provided.
This year we will also have a sign up sheet for the washing tent
6) A few pop-up tents will be available by lottery style ..not first come first serve ..we encourage you to bring your own tent if it going to be hot.




Checklist for Attendees
For those of you planning to attend Poorboy's World Detailing Day this weekend, here is a quick checklist of items that will be provided on-site as well those items you are expected to bring yourself.

-Your responsibilities:
- Upon arrival, Sign in at the registration table and receive a name tag.
-park where indicated in assigned spots
- If possible, arrive with a freshly or recently washed vehicle. While washing implements will be available on site, time would be better spent on other aspects of detailing.
- Provide your own PC, Flex and/or rotary buffer along with all necessary accessories such as electrical extension cords, pads, bonnets, wrenches, and connectors.
*Porter Cable 7424xp and Flex 3401vrg will be available for sale.
Provide your own masking tape, clay, applicator pads and microfiber towels.
*Clay, Pads and towels will be available for sale at the show.
- If desired, bring your own lawn chairs and sunscreen.
- PLEASE LEAVE ALL OTHER PRODUCTS AT HOME
- At the end of the day, please clean up after yourselves.

While many of you may delight in comparing detailing products from various manufacturers, please keep in mind that this weekend is being sponsored by Poorboy's World. This is an opportunity for everyone to try Poorboy's World products and get personal hands-on help with our detailing questions. So, it would be considered good manners to stay on topic by focusing our attention on Poorboy's World products for the duration of this event


FAQ Is the goal to Detail Each and Every car exterior?

After meeting and greeting this year we will have an into to Poorboy's World products and their uses, followed by a question and answer time. We will then give a brief tour of our new facilities and move on to machine demonstrations,
as well as claying and possibly wet sanding too. Everyone else who does not participate in the class and tour, will be detailing their own car. Some people will be here just for helping others...it's a great opportunity to watch other people and how they get their results. Pockets & I will walking around and will try to help.
We would like to see everyone leaving at the end of the weekend with a shiny car, so we can take pictures and then share with the rest of the on-line communities.



There will be more information as we progress and all suggestions pertaining to the event are welcome!

We also need to know if you will be requiring a hotel/ motel room , so we can try and work out a deal with a local and convenient place.

Let us know if you have any questions or comments
