Want to learn to use the rotary buffer?


Here's what my students get to learn how to use a rotary buffer on at our Detailing Boot Camp Class this weekend to learn show car detailing. Here's a quick video showing the current condition of the paint, every panel is filled with swirls and scratches....

A swirled-out old 2-door Chevy...









And DA Polishes on a 1940 Ford Coupe to do show car detailing. Plus we're going to apply Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer and EXO to it...




And to learn how to do production detailing we're going to use the Meguiar's Microfiber DA Correction System on the FACTORY paint on this 2008 Cadillac CTS




Plus wetsanding by hand and by machine, plus how to use an extractor and how to do cosmetic engine detailing.

And that's not all, we're also going to learn how to restore original single stage paint on a Lincoln. We'll also be learning how to clean and protect both a cloth top and a vinyl top.


These classes are hard and full of hands-on action. My next class is January 26th and 27th and I'll have some more cool cars to "learn" the art of detailing.

I'm thinking I'll head down there in the next year or 2 if I get some time.

Flash, send me your contact info and maybe we can make that happen some time.

The good news is there's more and more pads and products to make using a rotary buffer easier and safer.

Is it out already ?
I'm probably stepping to a 849x this week, along with dynabrade... articles like that will be great for me.
