The first time we buffed out Tommy's Camaro I had never met Nicole before so I invited Amy to showcase the car. Unknown to me at the time was that Nicole had offered to come to Autogeek and help buff out her dad's car...

Learning to machine polish
First up was to show Thomas and his daughter Nicole how to use a DA Polisher for the first time... I got Thomas trained and right to work...

You can learn how we polished the paint on this Camaro to perfection in this thread,



Moving ahead...
Then later, after meeting and getting to know Nicole I asked her to model this Corvette,

Fast forward...
Then last Friday when we worked on Frank's 1939 Lincoln Zephyr, Tommy drove up from West Palm Beach to lend some muscle to the project and drove his 1970 Camaro to Autogeek as he loves breaking necks wherever he drives his highly polished beast.

Both are more than attractive.

Not including Sam I have a few more waiting in the wings...


It's just a matter of time now... next week we'll be getting ready for our TV shoot the following week and then the week of the 9th to the 13th nothing but filming TV.

The week after is Mobil Tech, the week after that is getting ready for Detailing Bootcamp and then after that we're back to getting ready for a second week of shooting TV

So realistically, I can't get to another car of the week project till after Valentines Day weekend.

Busy... busy... busy...
