Thompson Racing Detail Clinic 03MAY2014
swexlin replied to eric@thompsonracing.us's topic in Upcoming Events & Gatherings
202 actually isn't bad (I live right off it) and the 3 mile section to C&C from my househas been patched decently. The LOCAL roads I take t work in Devon....horrible! I almost lost my right front on the Dart this morning. Lancaster Ave in Berwyn and Devon is completely breaking apart.- 78 replies

Thompson Racing Detail Clinic 03MAY2014
swexlin replied to eric@thompsonracing.us's topic in Upcoming Events & Gatherings
Eric, I'm in. I wasn't able to attend last year, but I'll mark my calendar now for this year. Probably bring the Viper, but I might bring the Superbee. I'll see if I can get a few of the West Chester C&C guys to come as well.- 78 replies

Yeah, NOT awesome weather, LOL! But nice to see you guys again there this year. -
As the owner of a 2007 Detonator Yellow Bee, I approve!

Thompson Racing Annual Spring Detail Clinic - May 4th 2013
swexlin replied to a topic in Company Info/Announcements
Wow, what an absolutely perfect day for this. Again, I'm sorry my plans changed at the last moment. Would have been great to put the top down on the Viper and cruise on up. Hope it goes well, and look forward to seeing pics. Scott -
Thompson Racing Annual Spring Detail Clinic - May 4th 2013
swexlin replied to a topic in Company Info/Announcements
Eric, due to a last minute change of plans, I will not be attending after all. I'm sorry I'm going to miss. I need some supplies - detail spray, waterless wash, and SVRT, among others. I'll just have to order them. You guys have a great time. Look like this will be the biggest clinic yet. Scott -
For the neighbors
swexlin replied to ForceofWill's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I like all the Megs products you have there. I'll take 'em. As good as Adams Detail Spray is, the original Megs QD in the red bottle is still a staple of my detailing bag. It's inexpensive, available everywhere, and it works. -
Tom - Sorry to say now that it's unlikely I'll be able to come. I have a pretty sick castaway critter (my cat Boo) who is in hospital with bladder blockage and infection since yesterday. Hopefully going home tomorrow, but maybe Saturday. Either way, I have to be around on Saturday to monitor him. Unless he's noticably better on Saturday morning.

Thompson Racing Annual Spring Detail Clinic - May 4th 2013
swexlin replied to a topic in Company Info/Announcements
Eric, new shop looks great. As I posted over ont the Viper forums, you gotta get your Dad to bring the 458 to WC C&C. He will be one of at least 3 others that attend regularly. I know 202 isn't great, but he won't bottom as much as my Viper did on the Spring Drive last Saturday!! That being said, I'm bringing with the 2003 Viper (there are pics of our two cars side by side at last year's clinic) or the 2007 Charger SRT8 Superbee. If the weather is ifffy, then the 2013 Dart 1.4 Turbo (Blue Streak Pearl) is coming. Scott -
BETA TEST REVIEW - Total Interior Detailer
swexlin replied to 00pewter's question in Interior Cleaning & Care
Agree, I would like to try it. I've been having good results by using Lucas Slick Mist Interior Detailer, topped off with Adams Leather conditioner. This works escecially well in my Viper, which is a convertible, and of course is exposed to sun and the elements for most of the time it is driven. I've been waiting for Adam's to come out with a really good AIO interior product. While I won't give up the Leather Conditioner (the best out there, IMO) I would like something that is quick and easy, and gets good results like the Lucas does. -
Daily Use Of Detail Spray
swexlin replied to EPHIOS's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Me too. I haven't tried the WW yet. I guess I'll have to pick up a gallon at the detailing clinic I'm going to in May at Thompson's. One more product to add to the list....! -
Dodge Viper SRT-10 Mamba | Paint Correction
swexlin replied to Synergy's topic in Detailing Write-Ups
Great work as always Nick. I should have you do my black 03! You've seen it, we met at the Thompson Clinic last May. Can't wait to see YOUR Bumblebee when you get it back. Scott -
Agreed, LOVE the Gen 3 five spokes on the GTS. I have 5 spokes on my Gen 3 2003, which weren't stock until 04 or 05.

VRT is my go-to product, especially when shining tires for a show. My 07 SRT8 Superbee also has a lot of black trim, and the VRT is the product for that as well. The thing I like - it doesn't sling. I used to use one of M's prodcucts (dont' get me wrong, I like a lot of M's products). However, after 100 miles back on the PA Turnpike from Carlisle, the sides of my yellow Superbee looked like I had driven through a tar pit! VRT doesn't do that at all,. I also use it on some interior plastics on my 03 Viper. Being a convertible, I have the top down most of the time I'm driving and showing it. Being now a 10 year old car, there is alot of UV exposure. Some VRT on the dash and plastic areas, and it looks brand new. There is only one other tire dressing I'll use if I'm out of VRT, and that is Mother's (not the M I was talking about) FX. Good stuff as well.

PS - Your new shop knocks 10 miles (each way) off my drive. Don't have to deal with that HORRENDUS Saturday traffic on 611. Thanks! -

Thompson Racing Annual Spring Detail Clinic - May 4th 2013
swexlin replied to a topic in Company Info/Announcements
Eric, his brothers, dad, and the Adams crew always makes this a great event. I've been 2 or 3 times now. This year, have a previously scheduled cruise to Bethany with some of the West Chester C&C crew, otherwise, I would have come. It's a car show, it's fun, and you meet fellow enthusiasts. Highly recommended. -
Thompson Racing Annual Spring Detail Clinic - May 4th 2013
swexlin replied to a topic in Company Info/Announcements
Dont think I'll be able to make this one this year, as I have a conflict that day. The West Chester Cars and Coffee group is doing a little road trip that day (tentative). Also, this is usually the day that Fred Beans Doylestown has its Spring Mopar show, which I would have attended that morning, then hit your clinic on the way back. Since I get off on and off the turnpike at 611, your new shop sounds much more convenient. If plans change, I'll certainly register and come.
