Although we have never done this type of demo (engine and interior) I was told about 1 1/2 hours.  Leave time to walk around - they have lots of great stuff and a nice display of cars.

Due to work obligations, don't think I can make the Griots demo, but may be able to catch you all before you leave Griots and join in on the lunch part. Not sure, but keeping fingers crossed. Would sure like to see some MINIs and MINI friends. 
Cheers!

Hola everyone!!
 
Just to let you know... I called Chevy's Fresh Mex and made a reservation for 15 people for lunch at 12:30pm. I didn't get an official headcount for lunch, so please let me know if I need to add more to our reservation. I was assured that our hostess "Cassandra" will take individual tabs even though we'll be all seated together in their banquet room I've reserved. 
 
I'm looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. I may be a few minutes late as I have an appt. at 9am in Federal Way. I'm hoping I'll be there by 10:15 at the latest. Until then...
 
Adios,
Brenda Smile

Sorry you can't make it Jack & Linda. I hope all is okay? We'll catch you on the next event. Wink ...and I will try to take good notes. Is there someone who could video record tomorrow's detailing to share later?

Well, that was fun and informative! I already have many of the products used in the demonstration, so I only got a replacement for a leaky bottle of Paint Prep. 

Lunch was full of good food and good conversation!

Thanks!

Griot's was informative as usual and another good opportunity to spend money on SMOG.  The HD-Wheel Cleaner was pretty amazing at how well it lifts all that brakes dust!

It was good to see the MINIACS at Griot's and a few actually went to lunch where we all could talk outside of Griot's lecture hall (garage).  A fun timeThumbs Up

I got some of that wheel cleaner. It works really great. Better than the green stuff. Every time I go to one of these demos I learn something new. Sorry I missed lunch. Chores were calling me.

Here’s the feedback link I started: http://www.psmini.org/forum/griots-car-care-clinic-1-28-12_topic8813.html

It’s weird that I’m not getting email notifications on these reply posts on this thread. Good thing I checked here first before posting the feedback link. Wink

Here’s a couple videos that I took:
