I'm just going to do a waterless carwash in the parking garage. I've got the Griot's Waterless Carwash spray and a bunch of microfiber towels. I follow-up with Griot's Spray-on Quick Wax afterwards. Might take me 30 minutes tops.

There's plenty of other brands that do the same thing.

If it rains, I'm not going to even fool with it. I have no aspirations of winning anything, just want to hang out with everyone.

Taking mine to HEB car wash before the cruise to SA and then we'll see how the weather is once we're there for the show.

Ron 04-10-2012 04:00 PM

IF I get it back in time, mine is getting hand washed as usual and then waxed. I am taking a bottle of detail spray and microfiber towels to remove bugs or dirt we catch on our way or during the cruise. Automatic car wash = Paint swirls, specially on a black car.

I'd prefer to not get all nasty sweaty etc than worry about swirl marks. I drive a fast car, not a show car. If it ever gets to looking like crap I'll just have it repainted. Maybe I'll go red then.

Synack 04-10-2012 04:18 PM

Speaking of which, anyone know where I can get a good deal on the whole car getting painted that red?

Ron 04-10-2012 04:36 PM

Who else from this forum is cruising on Friday? Just synack, o&g and me?

LOL, we can do the evening wash, depending on how everyone feels, I know there will be some entertainment at the hotel that night. Doesn't matter to me either way. I'm laid back :)

Ron 04-12-2012 08:12 PM

I might not be able to make it to the 3pm convoy tomorrow. If all goes well I will join the 6am convoy on Sat. If the car is not ready at all then I'll ride with my now best buddy O&G haha.

Robert_K 04-12-2012 09:52 PM

Saturday Group

As Dave M. with the ZCoH says before every cruise, "show up ahead of time with a full tank, a clean windshield, and a good attitude!" :tiphat:

Pulling out at 6:00 am sharp. Will cruise down I-10 all the way to San Antonio at about 75 mph.

Once in San Antonio, we'll take a shortcut on I-410N (Exit 581).

It's I-410 N to I-35 S/N Panam Expy (Exit 31).

Then I-35S back to I-10W/US-87 N

Once back on I-10W, we'll be pulling off at Exit 558 onto the Frontage Road for gas on De Zavala Dr. (Shell & Chevron available). The Drury Inn is about three miles up the road on the other side of I-10.

Once we fill up, we'll go back to the Frontage Road and head up to 1604 and loop around to the south Frontage Road to the Drury.

We should easily make the driver's meeting for 9:30 am.

Staying with the convoy is absolutely not mandatory. Feel free to leave us if your in the mood for a faster cruise. Just remember to exit I-10 at either Exit 558 or 556B to get onto the Frontage Road. It's the easiest way to loop around to the Drury.

If you have a two-way radio, bring it; we'll be on channel 3 for the weekend.

See you all tomorrow. :hello:

Please note the edit on the directions (Robert quoted my original post) that will save a little time and avoid south San Antonio. Still all on the interstate, just three additional off ramps. Just follow the exit numbers and you are good to go!

jennyt71 04-13-2012 12:43 PM

Gonna be FUN!!! I've got a cooler packed with orange Nos.. find me if you want one. :)

gurneyeagle 04-13-2012 12:54 PM

I'll have a set of maps for everyone tomorrow morning.

guru 04-14-2012 05:46 AM
