It's that time of year again! Autogeek's 7th Annual Detail Fest is coming up on March 24-25, 2012.
We like to celebrate the arrival of Spring in our own unique way here at Autogeek: by hosting a detailing expo and car show! Every year since 2006 we've hosted a gathering of leading manufacturers, enthusiasts and, of course, their cars for a day of education, detailing, and fun.
Detail Fest 2012 is being held on March 24-25 at our Stuart, Florida headquarters. There's no better way to get your vehicle ready for spring than to learn from the pros and from fellow hobbyists about the latest techniques and products. Meet your favorite manufacturers and see their products in action. Detail Fest is also a great opportunity to meet fellow forum members face to face and see their handiwork up close.
Detail Fest is open to anyone wanting to walk around and check out the products and demos. For a small registration fee, you can enter your car into our Detail Fest Car Show!
Detail Fest is 9 am - 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday, March 24-25.

This year, we're pleased to have two fantastic charities involved with Detail Fest. A portion of the proceeds from Detail Fest 2012 will go to:
The Humane Society is the nation's largest animal protection organization. They protect animals by advocating for better laws, conducting campaigns to reform industries, providing animal rescue and emergency response, investigating cases of animal cruelty, and caring for animals through sanctuaries and wildlife rehabilitation centers, clinics, and emergency shelters.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education, and patient services.
All the vendors that will be present at Detail Fest have made donations to these two great organizations! We'll be taking donations at Detail Fest as well.
We look forward to seeing you at Detail Fest!
