Well, I've been MIA for a while and here's why. The local chapter of the PCA asked me in March to be the exclusive car care sponsor for their event this year. Sounded like a fun afternoon right? Well let me tell you, it took some work. On top of running the daily tasks of operating Glistening Perfection, I also had to juggle all the aspects that go into putting on an event of this exposure. To be the EXCLUSIVE sponsor for a PCA Concours, a first for our company, has a lot of expectations from the crowd.

Needless to say, it all worked out, we had a blast, the event was AMAZING, and we wrapped it all up with a fine dinner with all the PCA members. Thanks to my good friend/client Jim, Buzzy from the PCA, all the friends/clients we saw, and new ones we met. And lastly, to my better half, I can never do any of these events without you

So here's our product salon. I wanted to keep it simple.



Made this banner to promote the detailing side of the company. Thank you Michael Furman and Sam Mann for the privilege of using the photos of the Delage.



This banner showcased the enviro-friendly side of our product range. I firmly believe we NEED to do our part as enthusiasts wherever we can. Nice to know my vendors feel the same.



The most under-rated car IMHO. I love working on these treasures. This one ended up taking about 40 hours of my time. Thanks Nick for letting me borrow her for the day.



Final prep before the event. Jim, you're a class act and I'm blessed to have friends/clients like you.



Thank you Paul for letting me borrow your C4S for the day. I hope you and the family had a great time at the event. The C4S was there to represent what a detailer and DIY client can accomplish. We've never machine polished this car and it's never seen a car wash. It does have very very minor hairline swirls, nothing the average guy would ever see, only us OCDs. But for a car that's not a garage queen, it can handle its own against any other car at the concours if it entered.



This was a last-minute idea, but I thought people would like to see what a 40-hour detail meant. A lot of people were shocked as to the level of attention and the sheer amount of work involved.



Oh yes; a little band from a university you may have heard of....GO TROJANS!!!

 

This 356 won the Concours a few years ago. Very nice.



Oh, yes...what's a Concours without Sun and Waves....gotta love Southern California.



Here's a panoramic shot of the event...

 

Did you switch servers when you went to your new design? Things are awfully slow (and I've been on there a few times lately). Anyhow, I love the CGT, and I especially love the 356 (even if you didn't do that one ).

You're probably one of the most professional guys in the industry I know; the people over at some of the car detailing forums I visit could really learn a lot from you (and I'm not just talking about detailing here, but instead, the whole package - attitude, approach, etc.). It's great that you're getting the recognition that you so rightly deserve.

Slightly off-topic, but I'll be contacting you shortly to get some advice on what goodies to buy from you.

 

Looks great Moe

 

Moe, I appreciate what you do, bro. Keep up the good (hard) work and continued success.

 

Looks like a great event! Well done Moe!

 

Thanks for all the kind words I really enjoy putting on these events because I get to meet many great people that never knew such a style of detailing exhists. I get them out of their shell and let them know it's OK to be OCD We're all in good company.

I think that when one becomes fortunate enough to have an audience, there is tremendious responsibility on many fronts. It's not enough to do your job well, you need to be a great listener, promotor, tech advisor, sometimes marriage counsler But in all seriousness, I'm blessed to have you guys taking the time to read what I write and giving me opportunities to do what I love.

Please feel free to call me when you're ready to move forward and step up the detailing game.

 

Thanks Jaber.

 

Thank you Sir...

 

The event far exceeded my expectations and we all had a blast. Can't wait for the next one.
