Meguiar's had our usual presence at Barrett-Jackson in West Palm Beach, FL from April 9-11, 2009 and I was fortunate to be part of the team this time around. Part of our agreement with B-J is to wipe down every single car before it crosses the auction block, so we got to see some interesting (and not so interesting, to be honest) cars up close and personal. Time and crowd permitting, I managed to snap a few shots. Included with each shot is the auction lot number, brief description of the vehicle and the sell price (fees included). You can visit www.barrett-jackson.com for more in depth info if you like. I'll have to break this into multiple posts since this forum software only allows 4 images per post (dammit) In no particular order, here we go:



2009 Spyker C8 - this car was in our booth the whole time and was not up for auction. Just an amazing car - made in Holland, it has an all aluminum frame and aluminum body, weighs just 2700lbs and is powered by a 400HP Audi V8 mounted amidships. $229,000 MSRP. It came to us a bit of a mess so I had the extreme pleasure of cleaning it up. Just a little M205 on a W9207 Soft Buff 2.0 finishing pad and followed with NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0.




This is a general view under one of the many tents holding vehicles before and after sale:


This is the staging area, just before the cars enter the building and cross the block. The car in the center is Lot 650.1, 1955 Jaguar XK140 that sold for $90,750
