The Complete Guide to a Show Car Shine Paperback Book by Mike Phillips

Hi Mike, greetings from Venezuela. I really want to get the complete guide to A Show Car Shine in kindle version on Amazon because my money is a gift card. But there is a problem with the kindle version. The problem is that there are not the pictures. Many people try to buy but they request the money because of that problem, no pictures at all in kindle version. Please fix it. I really want to get it. Thanks.

Not sure what to say... Kindle has its limitations.


I'd suggest getting the paperback version at least you would have the pictures.

Hello,

I am from Lithuania, Europe, I recently bought your book and it is very very good. I can't stop reading it. It is very well written, you can understand from the book, that it is written by a man, whose passion is detailing and cars.

But there is one bad thing about the book. After reading few pages the book is falling apart http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/images/icons/icon9.gif . Pages fall from the book, i think it is a glueing problem. I would like that this book - diamond (at least for me), would last long enough for reading it over and over again.

Mike, thank you again for writing this book.

P.s. sorry for my English.

Thank you for the kind words.... detailing cars and showing others how to detail cars has always been my passion....

I share the story as to "why" it's always been my passion in this interview with Dennis Gage

On this edition of "My Classic Car" Dennis Gage interview Mike Phillips and asks him how he started in the detailing industry when he was young. Mike shares how his passion for both detailing cars and showing other people how to detail cars led him to become the primary instructor for Meguiar's Car Wax company at their Corporate Office in Irvine California and then went on to become the Director of Training for Autogeek.net

Your English is perfect and I'm glad you like the book.

I've read both books and they are very helpful and informative. I wish I had gotten the digital versions instead, though.
 
I reviewed this book from Mike in the AG home (store) section. But I'll say it again here. Just a great and well-written how to book with all the details needed to step up your game from a master detailer.

I have been a marine mechanic for over 30 years, and I love to see the young guys get into the trade. But, whenever I can give those little "This is how you REALLY do this" tips, I'm happy.

This seems to me the way Mike is with his vast detail experience. He is constantly showing you how to start (you have to master) the correct methods and techniques.

So, Thank you Mike. Everything you do is MUCH appreciated by me, and your book is gold.

Hi Paul,

Thank you very much for the feedback and thoughts on my how-to book.

I'm just about to step into the Show Car Garage and start the second day of the 3-day class and a lot of what is in the book is taught in the class over the three days.

Well, I'm sure anyone that receives your instruction first-hand will be better for it. I sure hope to attend one of your classes in the future. In the meantime, thanks again for all your hard work at teaching all of us the skills you have mastered. :)
 
I got both books yesterday and they are amazing! So much good info and entertaining as well. If you enjoy detailing, no matter if you're new or a veteran, you should get these.
 
I picked this up the other day and am glad I did. It is well written, professional, and most importantly informative.
 
Amazing book, read it all, the dedication and time to write this!? Worth much more than it sells for!

Can’t tout this book anymore strongly. It has so many explanations for why you should do a particular method and why you should use a particular type of product. It totally eliminates the “error” part of trial and error.

I just finished reading Mike's excellent book. I was amazed by the breadth and depth of his knowledge. Thank you Mike for sharing your accumulated knowledge with us.
However I did find one topic missing, tire dressings.. maybe include in a future edition?

Thank you for the compliment. This first book took about 4 months to write working on it part time during work and staying late after work.

Thank you sir!

Writing how-to information in a way that someone can read it and then go out into their garage and do it is a style unto itself.
