Default Who's Going to Baker's in Milford Today?

Big Car show at Baker's of Milford Michigan today. It'll be the first one of the season for me. I think I missed one or two already.

Anybody going?

I'm not (~4 hr drive), but I like to visit different area cruise-in/car shows. It gets old seeing the same cars at my local events.

I would but my car is getting paint correction, a ceramic coating, and the rocker panels wrapped in new protective film. It’s actually getting worked on right next door to Bakers too.

The owner’s name is Jack. Does incredible work. Website: https://www.captainjacksdetailshop.com/

For my car we decided not to wet sand due to the thin layer of clear coat in C7s. He buffed and polished out all the imperfections and also did the same with the wheels. Ceramic coating on everything including glass and wheels. I haven’t seen it yet by expect to have some orange peal since wet sanding was not a possibility. Rockers are wrapped in full with no seams with Premiem Shield Elite Self Healing Film. Total damage is $1800. Cost depends on the shape of your pant and what you need done. Give him a call. Great guy.

Thanks a ton for the info! $1800 is about par from what I've seen and it didn't include the Rocker wraps. Let us know how it turns out.

That's pretty good! They're usually pretty careful. I always rubberneck around there, but don't have much luck. I see more at the Speedway on the corner of Milford rd. and GM road.

That part of town seems to be a hot spot. That’s for sure.

Absolutely....the Michigan NCRS Regional convention is on...gotta know the right folks

Here's an interesting run at MILFORD by Jay Leno in the new 2019 ZR1....he did 204 mph. We are not really shooting for that in our Z51 !

It is not necessary to know the right folks but to sign up for the GM Milford Proving Grounds event when registering for the NCRS Michigan Regional.
I was there in 2008.
