He will also offer hands on detailing for attendees and he’ll have pressure washers and interior detailing products so everyone can spiff up their ride. AND one lucky attendee will win a certificate for a complimentary cleaning and waxing care of Masters Autobody.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided by the chapter, although we will be asking for $10 per person to help cover the cost of Jeff’s cleaning materials and products. We will be gathering at the Masters Autobody shop starting around 10:30am with things to kick off around 11.
