Detail Day at Nick's Custom Detailing - Dallas, Texas - November 14th

Man I so wish I would have seen this sooner. Dallas is close and I have nothing else scheduled that day. Would have loved to be able to be there.

***Update***

Just arrived back to Stuart, Florida from SEMA where I had a chance to talk to Nick Chapman about the upcoming class at his detail shop in


At SEMA I met Bob Greer, a custom car painter and detailer for over 25 years and also the inventor of the Thumbgun! Here you can see a variety of polishers with Thumbguns mounted on them and ready to get to work.

Bob's going to set us up with one of these new tools for the Dallas Roadshow Class so everyone can have a chance to try it out.

Also, on Sunday we're going to do an Extreme Makeover on an all original 1954 Mercedes-Benz that from what we know has never been painted and never been professionally polished since leaving the dealership. While the paint appears shiny in the below pictures we've been told the finish is filled with swirls and scratches so our goal will be to restore a true swirl-free, show car finish with a team of people including Nick Chapman and myself.

I'll be taking my trusty, dusty Brinkman Swirl Finder Light and do my best to capture the true condition of this car's paint before a team of people start polishing it to perfection.

Stay tuned...

This is so exciting... I enjoy reading about your Road Trips !

What's involved in getting you to leave your Home Base and do a Road Trip?

Are you doing all this on your own Dime... or is this part of promoting AUTOGEEK and it's products outside of Florida?

I would like to thank Nick and Mike for a great get together. I am looking forward to using what I learned on my Jeep as soon as possible. :applause:
