Meguiars product Demonstration - Saturday 7th February 2015

Postby Popsjag » Sat Aug 23, 2014 9:44 pm

Hello again fellow XJ40/X300 enthusiasts!

The company will put on demonstrations of their cleaning and polishing products and even provide tea/coffee for those who arrive early for the half day visit. The visit could be used either as a Forum event by itself or perhaps in conjunction with another half day event or lunch, somewhere in the Midlands, to make it a full Forum day out and what’s more, the Meguiars visit will be free!

(http://www.meguiars.co.uk/blog/?p=963)

Ideally we need 12-20 people to commit asap, as there will be other forums wanting to participate as well!!

Please let me know either on here or to my JEC email address.
Thanking you all in advance,

Steve.

Tricky to commit this far out I'm afraid. Where exactly is it?

Hi Steve, still planning to come along and looking forward to it. Do you know what time we finish?

I am planning to get breakfast on the way, have found on "i fancy a Fry Up" website, I have never been, it's 10mins north of Meguiars location (3.5miles) - Just an idea

Willoughby Cafe, Transport Cafe

On the A45 London Road
Willoughby, Braunston
Rugby, Daventry
Warwickshire
CV23 2BL

Slightly nondescript looking, but does a good fry-up, loads of choice. They do Sunday lunch too.

On side of A45, Willoughby, just west of Braunston.
Days Open: 7 Days
Mon-Fri 7.30-2.30pm
Sat 7-2pm
Sun 7am-2pm - On a Sunday morning it looks shut but is open!

The Seminar starts at 10am (get there for 9.30am for refreshments) and commences with a 45 minute briefing.

This is then followed by a practical demonstration on one of our fellow enthusiast's vehicle lasting about an hour (ish).

Then I expect some of us will want to purchase some goodies whilst there, so would hazard a guess at a 12.30pm finish.

The breakfast pit stop sounds like an interesting proposition - nothing like a fry-up to set you up for the day! What time you aiming to get there for?

Thanks to everyone that came to Meguiars today and glad you all enjoyed it.

I found it very informative and the link below will hopefully show some of the practical side. The bonnet shot outside certainly shows the difference made.

p.s. it was good at lightening the wallet as well!!

Thanks for organising the event at Meguiars! I really enjoyed the session and learned a lot. The offers at the end were good value, but yes, the wallet was lighter... It was also nice to meet you and catch up with other x300 owners. When I got home, I used the NXT generation car wash on P500 for the first time, and very pleased with the results. Thanks again.
