I'm thinking a Saturday more than a Thursday 'cause I get off of work at 5pm. Take a gander at what days you think you could make and we can narrow it down from there. Any day, Sat., is good for me.

I never plan my saturdays (thats never any fun)... so I guess right now my saturdays are wide open for awhile. I saw that they had individual classes and car club classes, which one were you planning on doing?

Yeah it's a pretty informative class (Saturday). They feed you, teach you, and throw in free product. They show how to use a dual action polisher and rotary the right way and usually demonstrate on one of the attendees cars, but beware, they don't polish the whole car you'll have to do that. There was an actual class for ScionLife members last year, but it was canceled because not enough people from the board signed up.

After you take the class you will never wash your car the same way again.

They don't actually wash anybody's car. It is illegal to wash a car without a water reclaiming system(don't know if is there zoning or the whole city of Irvine?). They usually let the class use quick detailer on their vehicles to clean them up. The instructor will most likely choose a black car to work on.

Yay more people interested

I would wait to wash your car after the class so you could see the difference Or wash the right or left side of your car the way you normally wash it, then save the other side till after the class. Haha

As far as I know its free.

The next open class for those not in a car club is April 26th, 8AM - 3PM. LINK If you want to go to this, make sure to register on their forums so it's free! If you don't, you'll have to pay to go

I think this date is good since it will give everyone a specific date to set aside or ask for it off if you happen to work weekends

It's free. All you got to do is sign up on their forum then reply to the thread under "Sign up for Saturday classes". The next "open" class is April 26.

Even though it is free you will probably end up buying a couple hundred dollars in tools(the dual action polisher) and on polishes that you'll never find at your local Pep Boys. Oh they don't sell anything at the class they'll just refer you to their website or a couple of other sites.
