Everything is set-up and ready to go! Coffee will be hot! Donuts will be fresh!

October 3rd, 2009 Detailing 101

The emphasis of the Detailing 101 class is to learn the basics of what I call the 3 P's

Paint
Products
Procedures

We'll learn to use our hands and the dual action polisher to remove swirls and scratches, then polish the paint to perfection and then seal the paint with a wax or paint sealant.

While lots of people want to jump right to the Advanced Class, it's important to have the above basic skills under your belt first. Besides, you can't always fix everything by machine, so hand techniques are important too.

The focus will be on how to use Meguiar's products for paint correction, polishing and protecting as well as over all car detailing.

Because you can use all of the different tools with Meguiar's paint care products we will also have these tools on hand as well as the G110 for everyone to test out.

Class start at 8:00am!

See you all here!

Dear Mike,
Thank you for setting this class up. It was very helpful, we got to look at new products and got to see how products we can purchase at our local auto part store can perform the same job at products like M105 and M205. You taugh us so helpful trick to get the job done with ease. We also got to try out diffrent DA and Polishers, I am deff going to get a Flex polisher after today. The outcome where great very easy to use and quicker the the Porter Cable DA. I am looking forward to the 102 class tomorrow.

Thanks
Shawn

Thanks very much Mike for a very informative session. I'm only an enthusiast who works on my own car and I was able to pick up a lot of great tips.
