bring stuff to dry and quick detail your cars (whatever you regiment is for drying and final detail if any) I will have a washing area setup for rinsing/washing and then we cna move your car out to dry it off and hopefully minimize the need to detail the again.
the wet application technique is really the best fail-safe method for getting the decals on the car. the drying time and peeling time may vary and the residue sucks but hopefully the washing station will rid us of residue issue
I will also have my shop vac which doubles as a blower so that will help some of you dry the cars faster. I suggest buying one or two of the "THE ABSORBER"s those things are fantastic as far chamois go.

You may already know this trick, but I was thinking about adding some rubbing alcohol to the wet solution as last year it took forever to dry. Do you think it would hurt the decals?

JAX AREA PEOPLE - I'm having 4 sets (2 of the white, 2 of the black) shipped to my house. Chime in (best to PM me) if you need to pick up the decals from me or need help applying. I'm no Rob but in the past 5 years of doing this I've done a few including the Ridgeline twice.
The house is off limits this weekend because Sandy is having 6 groups of kids over here for some FCAT tutoring plus Chase and I have opening day at the baseball park Saturday. If need be we could probably meet up at the subdivision pool Sunday since it has a decent parking lot. I could bring my 10' x 10' tent for shade. We'll make it work. No worries.

BTW - I live in the far NE corner of Jax for those that haven't been out here before. Literally on the Duval/Nassau line, pretty much due East of JIA. I think we're only having 1-2 cars from up this way so the BIG parties are in the Tampa Bay Area which is the obvious concentration for the HGPSP. Rob and Scott will have a couple dozen cars going so it might be worth the trip for a day with those guys vs a quickie in Jax but the offer stands and I'll be glad to help out anyway I can.
