Proper 2 bucket wash method - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

CU2MIKE · 09-13-2012, 06:00 PM

So how do you guys feel about a small gathering at my house so I can teach you guys how to do 2 bucket wash properly? Nothing will be sold from me since I'm not a vendor, but I will provide you with a place to buy everything online.

EDIT: The date is set on Sept. 22nd @ 5PM. Those interested please pm me for my address.

I'm interested. What part of the LA area are you in? I've actually been looking for a good detailer in the LA area since I'm looking to get a professional wax/detail job on my car soon.

Also interested! Been lazy with detailing and opticoating.

I'm in.

Wow, you guys are quick lol. Anyhow, I live in Lakewood off the 91 fwy. I could easily accommodate 6-8 cars on my driveway/curbside parking.

BTW, do you do detail/wax jobs yourself? If so, what do you normally charge?

So when are you planning this event? Date and time?

I detail myself, probably have done somewhere around 30 FRS and 6 BRZ so far, all opti coated as well.

I don't know a date for sure yet, but most likely Sept. 22nd?

Ok, I'm dehind the times. What's is an opti coat exactly? I've read about it here and there, but never read up on it in detail. How much do you charge for it and what are the benefits and or negatives? Also, what do you charge for a top notch wax job (out side only)? Thanks.

Damn. I'll be in SD that weekend.

Let me know if you decided to do another one. Could somebody who goes record the session and post it to youtube? Haha

Did you ever get that chip fixed on the hood?

Calidrifter · 09-13-2012, 09:14 PM

No, and right after I got a scratch on the bumper too. It seems opti coating my frs is not meant to be...

Mike does good work. He OptiCoated my car and my friends. Also taught me a lot of stuff about detailing I'd never thought about before.

Maybe I can make it out with everyone.
