D’you know, I’ve never been as busy as I’ve been lately – and I’m retired! So, today, was a special treat!
I took the short drive over to techy-mate Chris and we motored on to Gtechnic’s HQ in Upper Heyford, The reason? A half-day ‘hands-on’ Car Detailing Workshop organised by Alex, one of their experienced Detailers.
Tom was our Guide, explaining the art (and science) of looking after a car’s bodywork – and he did a thorough job! There was about 20 of us there, and we all had one thing in common – how could we spend LESS time on making our cars look the best? There was plenty of advice to be shared by Tom! 🙂
It began with a classroom presentation of Gtechniq’s products, where it was good to NOT be on the receiving end of a hard sell! In fact, it was all VERY educational, but the best was yet to come – the practical side of things.
Moving from the classroom to the outside revealed a rather mucky Golf GTi – but not for long. Tom initially demonstrated some of their wash products before letting us loose with the more specialist stuff. For me, the show-stopper was the Bug Remover that literally dissolved insects before our eyes and the Ceramic Sealant that certainly brought out the best in the paintwork. Also the hydrophobic effect of their Glass Cleaner was amazing!
A brilliant morning! We finished the session helping ourselves to the free samples and purchasing some of their products!
Thanks Alex and thanks Tom, for enlightening us! Chris and I left around 12.30 and I was home by 1.35, just in time to watch Doctor Who ahead of tonight’s episode.
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
