A lot of people say what you said above, that is they like working with a good mix of people from different backgrounds and different experience levels.

I can speak for the folks in the class when I say using all the different machines was a thrill.
I always wondered about using them and I can now say I have.
That would be this class,
Pictures & Comments September 2018 3-Day Detailing Class at Autogeek with Mike Phillips
And we really had some great cars to work on in that class including the 1965 GTO and the 1957 Tbird everyone was able to learn how to wet sand by hand and machine on these two bitchen rides!

To hear Louise’s story is very cool.
I took the above pictures and created this thread because so many guys I meet, (typically guys, not women), in conversation tell me,
I'm not a detailer
Implying that they think the class is only for detailers, people that detail their cars for money. But as you probably experienced, about 50% to 60% of the people that attend ANY of the classes are NOT detailers, they are just people that love to work on their cars or boats....
So I created this thread with those pictures and I share it various ways to show all the big strong guys of the world that if they like detailing their cars and boats, then this class is for them. It is not just for people that detail for money. If it's out of their budget then that's something each person has to figure out but Louise flew all the way from California to Stuart, Florida and loved this class.

I have not had a head count lately but going by how many people tell me they are going to take the February boat class it's going to sell out faster than ever.

Sorry to say she's not. At least not that I know of.
If I remember correctly, she's a Psychiatrist and a Professor at a College in San Francisco.
I like to share her story because I always see typically guys make comments about the classes we offer and say,
I'm not a detailer
I get it. Neither are 60% of the people that take my class and Louise is an example.

Re: Who attends a 3-day class at Autogeek at $1,495.00?
Here's another great example of someone taking a class that's NOT a detailer.
Rick works for Les Schwab Financial Services. He came to the Texas Roadshow class a few weeks ago to learn how to polish the paint on his own car.
10 cars detailed in 2 days! Texas Roadshow Detailing Class!
He did join the forum and shared a picture of his car...

Now that I have experience with a wide range of products, I can purchase with confidence. The result was terrific. Many thanks to Mike for this class.
As Mike can attest, my GTO was covered with swirls and holograms. Mike said it was typical of what a body shop turns out.
I purchased the Flex XFE15 150 Cordless Orbital polisher (The Finisher)and used this process:
- Washed using Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine
- Clayed
- Compounded with Sonax CutMax using Uro_Tech 7" Maroon Pads
- Polished with Sonax Perfect Finish using Lake Country 6.5" White Pads
- Surface cleaned with Black Fire Paint Prep.
- Applied Pinnacle Souveran Past Wax
I thought the GTO looked great before, now it absolutely awesome! The results are impressive! (at least to me)
Next, I plan to try out BLACKFIRE One Step on my 2015 Silverado

I WISH everyone that attended any of our classes was as active on our forum as you.
Marketing the classes is the hardest part of the class and it's first-hand testimonies - shared on this forum that are powerful Everyone is on Facebook and Instagram and I get it but they are horrible social media platforms in that anything shared on them is like a vapor, here for a moment and then gone.

Re: Who attends a 3-day class at Autogeek at $1,495.00?
So I have the rupes 15 mark3 and rupes duetto. I have the flex 3" polisher but its virtually the same I think. I use the rupes pads on all of them just because I like the pad. I have other pads to but I like the rupes the best on all 3 of those machines. I love the rupes 4" pads on the mini.
Anyway I have the Rupes polishes and I've tried them a few times. They just do not work good on my paint. They leave it almost faded and just not good. I have to use other polishes like menzerna that just work better on my car. What about that I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Re: 1950 Panel Delivery - From neglected to respected
If anyone is sitting on the fence about the 3 Day class....DO IT! It was beyond my expectations but just be ready to work. We went 11 hour days since most of us showed up early.
Met some great folks and after the class most everyone, including Mike and Andre, went to hang out at the local Marriot. We had dinner and talked more shop.
You’re going to be exhausted when all is said and done but it was a Labor of Love!

Are you guys planning on having more Texas Road Show classes? As an Oklahoma resident I sure could take advantage of that. Congratulations Rick! AMAZING job on the GTO!!!

Re: Who attends a 3-day class at Autogeek at $1,495.00?
It was on my "to do" list for May, but with the world on fire, maybe September this year or February next year. Then I can take the IDA cert's as well.

Re: Who attends a 3-day class at Autogeek at $1,495.00?
Been on my list for a while......only had one of the roadshow classes near me in recent years....unfortunately, didn't have the extra coin for that one either. By the time I pay for the 3-day class, the airfare, hotel, rental car and miscellaneous expenses.....I'm easily ver 2500.00....definitely not in this man's budget....until I manage to win the lottery.
