Want to learn to use the rotary buffer? (http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/1557/2008CadillacCTS.jpg)


Here's what my students get to learn how to use a rotary buffer on at our Detailing Boot Camp Class this weekend to learn show car detailing. Here's a quick video showing the current condition of the paint, every panel is filled with swirls and scratches....

And to learn how to do production detailing we're going to use the Meguiar's Microfiber DA Correction System on the FACTORY paint on this 2008 Cadillac CTS

Plus wetsanding by hand and by machine, plus how to use an extractor and how to do cosmetic engine detailing.

And that's not all, we're also going to learn how to restore original single stage paint on a Lincoln. We'll also be learning how to clean and protect both a cloth top and a vinyl top.


These classes are hard and full of hands-on action. My next class is January 26th and 27th and I'll have some more cool cars to "learn" the art of detailing.
