    Offline for a few days...

    Just finished my big 3-day detailing class. It was a total success.

    22 students.
    10 VIP Guest Instructors
    14 cars detailed


    Guess what? I'm tired. I'm beat. I'm doing IDA Skill Validation Testing today, (Monday after the 3-day class), and then I'm offline and off work until Thursday.

    When I do come back to work on Thursday the garage is a complete MESS having had 22 people detail 14 cars in 3 days. (think about it)


    So for everyone posting questions in this forum group,

    Ask Mike Phillips your detailing questions!



    Apologies, but I'm half human and half machine and the human part needs to take a break and recharge his batteries.

    Have a great few days of relaxing and recharging, Mike. You are very much appreciated.

    When you come back, I hope you find my first Show and Shine. I finished detailing my Harley yesterday. Spent a lot of time on it and it turned out really great.

    Couldn't have done it without you and the help from the folks here.

    When you're relaxing, I hope you get a chance to reflect on the long list of enthusiast and pros you've helped along the way.

    Just wanted to bump this to bring it back to the top of the forum homepage.

    Don't want anyone asking questions or looking for help think they are being ignored but if I work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week I'll end up divorced.

    I'll check out your Harley Show and Shine and thank you for the kind words. As for everyone I've helped along the way, Zig Ziglar wrote,

    Forum is really busy. Lots of great questions being asked.

    Apologies to anyone waiting on me or wanting me to chime-in but since this last class I've been playing catch-up in so many different areas of work.

    And now tomorrow? Anniversary


    I'll be offline tomorrow, Wednesday May 12.

    Then when I'm back on Thursday I'll be in the garage all day wetsanding a 1972 Cutlass to knock out all the panels BUT the trunk, which we're saving for our Thursday Live Detailing Class and again for the MTE Education Series LIVE video class at 6:00pm


    LIVE Wetsanding Class - 1972 Cutlass - Remove Orange Peel






    So the soonest I'll be back behind a computer will be Friday, May 14th.


    Hold down the cyber-fort.

    Happy Anniversary to you & Stacy, Mike.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
