It's been a while since I've been to Ohio. Last time was when I was qualifying for the 2002 Paralympics for swimming.
Should be interesting to re-visit the state.

Good to hear! I'll likely not be in attendance as I detail on weekends but it should be a great class.

Re: Orange Peel Removal/ Reduction
I feel like we're hijacking nakranij's thread, and for that I apologize.
I only detail on the weekends myself (very rare occasion when I might be doing a friend's car that I am comfortable driving and letting him drive mine, then I might do one over two week nights). But sacrificing a weekend for the opportunity makes sense for me. I've not taken a class, and feel I'll make more money because I took the class than I'd make that weekend. And getting to Columbus is a breeze, and I have a son who lives in Hilliard I can stay with to keep costs down.

Re: Orange Peel Removal/ Reduction
When I bought my new to me Ford Taurus it was about 1.5 years old. It had very minor swirling, but I knew it was going to take at least a medium polish to get them all out. There were places on the car that noticeable orange peel and other panels where quite smooth. I couldn't stand the orange peel areas. So I used the Carpro velvet pads and FG400 on the car. This totally removed any swirling and I was able to knock down those bad areas. I didn't go totally flat, but those noticeable spots now look the rest of the smooth parts of the car. Those velvet pads leave a really nice finish. I figured that this was a good compromise knowing that wet sanding was not wise.
