Make sure you bring your wallet with you too then - they're illegal, and will fetch you a nice ticket. 

Here's last years pics...this is the drive if you want to cruise with a bunch of Fieroheads...lol

Lol, i get up at 3am every day for work, but weekends are a no-no. I think ill head down solo. Probably get up at 7 at the earliest :P  Is there any plan for the group to head back together? Id like to be in a convoy with a bunch of other fieros :D

sounds like it'll be fun :D  So are we meeting somewhere and going down as a group?  Oh, and you say "we are in Vancouver", but isn't it in whiterock? 

Saturday is supposed to be nice, Sunday....well, we are in Vancouver so that could change:).

You seem to have a good list, if you bought/buy the Meguires Clay kit, the detailer is already.  As for washing your car, either simple wash or take it to a self wash station.  You will be claying the car which will be a deep clean anyways, just make sure you have allot of micro fiber cloths (Costco real cheap for a 20 pack)...as for all the products, even with our club discount at Lordco, same price at CT...and both stores would have all the items.

As for tents, there are a few on Saturday, a few bring some for the Sunday show which we all huddled under when it did rain a few years back...or was that last year?...lol

Let me know how the Mother's Mag Polish works:)

You can register at the gate.  Just tell them you are with West Coast Fiero's.

I have a Griot's claybar.  Works great.  But have never used it on the Fiero. 

Wash, wax, vacuum.   Use toothbrush and Simple Green on wheels. 

Hope we get good weather this weekend.

 

 

 

 

You should be alright, this show with the drive and all the bug splatter, etc., we all touch up our cars when we are there, but it's not a real show...it's about the drive as a group. 

k, lots of stuff to sort through :P

any opinions on Mothers Carnauba wax (think thats how you spell it), i got an bottle of that, that ive been meaning to try.

true, maybe ill save that for another day.  I bought a power buffer at canadian tire awhile back and it helps alot on the big areas.. Really saves your arms lol :P  Your right about it not being good for small areas, but i cut about 20min off the waxing of my car, and my arms were not as tired :P

k well i figured out how i can keep it off the road for a few days, would putting on a 3rd coat be worth while or would it not really show?    Can you recommend a good wax and interior care products that i can get at lordco or somewhere easily accessible. I have a few but have had mixed results. I got Some Turtlewax: Icewax  or w/e its called, the streak free stuff. But i found that it took FOREVER to buff out. Friggen PITA lol :P.   So about those creative ways to desguise paint chips, what did u mean exactly?


edit:  Also, i got that black luggage rack dealy on my decklid, any ideas on how to spruce that up? It doesn't like waxes too well :P 

edit 2: For the engine bay, you say to degrease then wash. Its the washing part im worried about, getting water on electrical connections and such. Any tips?
