Yep, looks like a good 10 cars will turn up :wink:

I'll be bringing:

- portable vacuum cleaner
- socket set
- some cleaning products
- pressure nossle (assuming that Hjt has hose and water)

Not sure whether we'll have enough time to do PlasticDipping or otherwise I would bring a few cans of them too.

Hjt - would 10am onwards work for you? (I can do earlier but I don't want to wake your old man up :lol: )

The following is available to you guys if youre interested:
-Karcher Pressure washer with 10m hose and foam lance

Ive also got a stash of Automotive clay (Joey picked my up some from Autobacs in Singapore), a block can be split into 3 if anyone is prepared to chip in $5 each? Claying is after all the first necessary step after a wash in detailing!
Happy to show anyone how to use it too. lemme know.

Ive also got a foaming lance with MagiFoam too......

Love to try the pressure washer if it's not too much of a hassle to bring it over :twisted:

Hi Guys,

Thanks for everyone who organised this. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm relatively new to the MX5 scene--I just got my MX5 NC1 in April 2012. It needs a good clay, polish and wax. Wassup I'm interested in chipping in some money to use some of the clay bar. HJT could you PM me the address of the warehouse? Also, is there anyone here that knows how to do some simple mechanical work. My car needs it's 130k service which I think is just oil and filters. Would this be something I could get some help with doing or would it be too difficult to do there?

Cheers!

hmm am unsure about the services tbh, I have not changed the oil on a NC previously, I don't know the oil capacity etc.

It's not a difficult job however. Bring your stuff, we can have a look on the day?
