I'd appreciate your comparison of the "PC 7424-XP" to the new Griot Buffer.

Great Detail and process write up Mike. I kept reading about you coming to AG. I'm not on enough to know who you are. But the Lexus Detail tells it all. Good Job. I look forward to more from You. Gotta Go customer waitng for their Detail!

Love the article, Mike would have made a great teacher, the steps are explained so anyone from Novice to Pro can follow along.

Actually, Mike is a great teacher. Thanks to Mike, many have learned the correct, and proper way of taking care of their vehicles. While at Meg's, Mike taught countless of eager students the ins and outs of proper car care. Thanks to Mike I got started on the right foot into this great hobby/ profession.

Thought I'd share a couple of pictures of Prof. Mike Phillips classes, which I was fortunate enough to attend.

This was where I met Mike for the first time back in 2006. This was actually an open garage, which if I'm not mistaken Mike developed.


Here are some more:

Here I am sitting around while Mike kicks some swirly butt with the rotary.



Classroom learning or lunch break? I'll never tell.


Advanced Class.



Hand Sanding Techniques.


Machine Sanding.



Rotary Lessons.





Playing with some cool toys.







Mikes last TNOG.


A fond farewell.



Mike is definitely a great teacher, and I'm sure he'll be teaching countless of eager students over on the east-side now.

I dont know what it is, I always want to try the Boars Head Brush especially the long body reach one like you used which looks like it would be quick and easy.... but something about the brush itself makes me think I'll end up swirling the shiz out of the paint?

That's the natural thing to think but remember, correctly used you're not using the brush to scrub the paint but using a gentle touch to wash the paint. Always focus on the task at hand.

I think this would be a good idea for Detail Fest 2010. A Boar's Hair Brush demo on a swirl free black car. Wash the same car several times over the weekend and leave it available for inspection.

What do you think?

Hi Mike,

Just a quick question. Did you happen to find those xenon lights locally or did you have to order them. And I mean locally, I live around the corner.

Thanks,
