Both cars showed up dirty...

The Jeep is a 2016 and is parked outside all the time. As you look at the iron contamination bleeding off the car, keep in mind, if this Jeep is contaminated.... what are the odds your car is contaminated?

This was a beginners class for machine polishing but after going over how to use a simple 8mm free spinning orbital polisher everyone was invited to test out and use ANY tool their hearts desired!

Just want to say thanks to Mike Phillips and Autogeek for putting on this class.

What a great expierence. It’s one thing to watch videos and read how to do things online. It’s completly different to be their getting hands on experience.

Almost any “free” class you take for anything is nothing more then a sales pitch for a particular product. But here it was all about using the tools and different products available. And every tool you could imagine was made available to us.

I drove an hour and a half up from ft Lauderdale and it was well worth it. I wouldn’t hesitate to make the drive again and I look forward to hopefully taking his 3 day class soon..

thanks again Mike.

After coating the Jeep we moved onto the Corvette.


To seal the paint we're going to use the BLACKFIRE One Step Cleaner/Wax.

Thanks for making the drive an being part of the class. As you experienced first hand, these classes are ALL hand-on!

I don't think anyone even sat down during pizza!


And the cars turned out awesome!

Thank you Mike! I had a great time and enjoyed every minute of the class. Everything you are doing for the detailing community is appreciated more than you know.

Good to hear, I'll try to hold more of these in-between our 2-Day Roadshow Classes and our 3-Day Classes.

Did you use Sonax wheel cleaner plus or full effect? What product was used for iron decon on paint?

I apologize 91Bird - I just now found your question. Your first and only post too...


As for which products, I have both the SONAX Wheel Cleaner Plus and the Full Effect in the garage and chances are good we had both out there. They actually both work great.

For an iron remover I believe we used the SONAX Fallout Remover as I keep about 20+ bottles of it in the garage too for the detailing classes.

Can't go wrong with either product and SONAX has a great reputation for always making very safe products.
