Re: SOLD OUT !!!! Training Boats for the February 2020 Class
Continued....
When I'm teaching classes, I tend to get up pretty early. Have to get fresh donuts and bagels on the way to work, get the lights turned on, air-conditioning going and then do any last-minute set-up. But first things first and that means taking out the Boss before leaving the house.
His name is Mojito
Classroom ready to go!
Here's some pictures showing what a real boat detailing classroom would look like if the class were to actually intend for you to be on your feet working on boats.
I normally don't use or even need chairs in my classes, but in the morning we will go over SAFETY. Things like nitrile gloves, eye protection, dust masks. And at lunch time everyone will be tired from so much hands-on they'll want to sit down to eat their lunch. Otherwise heck with the chairs....
EVERYONE gets their own tools - we have LOTS of tools!
In my boat class you gets LOTS of training on how to use a rotary polisher.
Work smarter, not harder - Mirka Abralon Sanding Discs
Sanding Lube
The new RUPES Wool Cutting Pads - Nice pads!
RUPES Coarse Blue Foam Cutting Pads --> for POLISHING no CUTTING
Marine 31 Products
Made by boat people for boat people
(my wife Stacy came up with that slogan)
Doing a Boat Detailing Test Spot
Next is the Test Spot. Normally I do the Test Spot before everyone arrives. I make sure the boats can be fixed, i.e. the gel-coat can be restored to my expectation level. But this time I didn't do it. I have confidence in the Mirka Abralon sanding discs, the tools, the Marine 31 Captain's Compound, my choice of wool and foam buffing pads, etc.
So I did the Test Spot LIVE in front of the class. This is as my old friend Mike Pennington use to say to me,
Your chance to be the hero or the zero!
I bring in BIG boats with lots of room for everyone to get plenty of hands-on time, training and experience with all the different tool, pads and products.
8:51am
Class started at 7:30am sharp and the time stamp on the below picture is 8:51am. When I say no-sitting, I mean no sitting. Before 9:00am we've already performed the first Test Spot from start to finish. And along the way I teach the correct technique for each of the steps used in the Test Spot.
Here are the steps.
- Machine sand #1000
- Machine sand #2000
- Machine sand #3000
- Machine sand #4000
- Compound out sanding marks using rotary buffer, wool pad and compound
- Remove holograms using orbital polisher with foam pad and same compound
- Chemically strip the surface.
- Install the gel-coat ceramic coating.
- Give the area a final buff to smooth out the coating and remove any high spots
Here are the results for the 23' Pro Line
Here's the 21 Sea Hunt
Here's the results for the Test Spot on on the Sea Hunt
In-freaking-credible results!
Now it's time to turn the class loose and then walk around both boats and monitor each person while watching their technique and if and when needed, pausing them to correct their technique or make suggestions to help them either work smarter or easier.

If you need help creating your account, for any reason, simply call me on my cell phone this coming Thursday or Friday during work hours and I'll create your account while we're on the phone. Otherwise call me next Monday through Thursday. I'll be teaching the 3-day class starting on Friday.
THIS IS the thread to post your feedback or review about the class you just took.
Thank you!
First thank you to everyone that attended the 2020 Marine 31 Boat Detailing Class. The boats were in absolutely HORRIBLE condition and now they look brand spanking new!
Everyone worked hard, learned a lot and the results show it.
As I type this it's Tuesday, February 11th, just after lunch. Management gives me the day off after any of my classes so I was off yesterday. I'm happy to say as of today, I have my voice back.
Clean-up
All I'm getting done today is clean-up. As you all witnessed, the garage is a disaster! With the help of some co-workers, we're getting everything cleaned up and prepping the garage for the upcoming 3-day Car Detailing Boot Camp Class. If you click the link below, you'll see what a Mike Phillips Car Detailing Class looks like.
Training Cars for the February 2020 3-day Car Detailing Bootcamp Class
Anyway, tomorrow is Wednesday, February 12 and I took the day off as it's my birthday and my wife Stacy has something special planned for me. This means I won't be back into the office and ready to do "office work" until Thursday and Friday. As soon as I get back I'll start adding some of the picture Meghan took on Saturday to showcase all your hard work.
So join the forum, post your review or feedback about what you thought of the class and stay tuned as I'm going to add more pictures to this thread.
