Mike Phillips leaving

It's winter, not too many detailing like in spring and summer. Consequently not many questions.

Even Mike P's forum is dead.
 
Rsurfer nailed it.

Not much to post about detailing when you have temps in the low 20's (like here on L.I. today).

Mike P did create a lot of content though. But even when he was around, the dead of winter was/is always a slower time for AGO.
 
I assume that the forum that mike ran would be down, but all the other forms look to be the normal amount of traffic to me, for this time of year.
 
As mentioned, this forum always seems to slow during (US)winter. But we have some down under members that we get to see clean their cars.

It was 3°F the other morning here. Definitely no cleaning going on in that weather.
 
We also have some members, like me , from places like Florida where we can enjoy clean cars all year.
 
I'm in Minnesota so my detailing is limited to going to the self serve you spray it car wash late at night so I can do a bucket wash. Drying is optional as the humidity is 150%.
Temp inside the heated bays are around 50°F - 60°F.
Outside it's usually around 10°F.
Winter sucks.

Wish i had those heated bay carwashs around where i live.

The forum overall did obviously have more informative content constantly from mike p when he was around. Atleast all his prior content is still around for anyone to still learn from. It was great for me because i was new to the ago/ detailing forums scene. My mind was blown with all the information at hand about so many products/tools out there that i didn't know existed. Glad i found this place.

Im just glad that we still have members that try new products(whither it be due to a company sending them new stuff to try, or just curious folks buying it themselves) and then come on here and putting up reviews.

Yinz have definitely helped me up my detailing game! Thanks

Yeah, no heated bays on this side of the state either. And they have a tendency to close if it's too cold.
 
If they didn't heat them here the doors would freeze shut.
When it gets to be below zero F most car washes around here are closed.

Miserable miserable winter FTW! I think all of us experiencing the joys of winter need a :grouphug:
 
"Resigning from my position 3D Products LLC
It is after much thought; I announce I am resigning from my position as the Global Director of Training for 3D Products LLC. Working for Tunch and the amazing team of people at 3D has been an honor and a high point in my career. The family friendly environment that Tunch creates at 3D is just as important as the incredible products he and his team create and one of the things I’ll miss the most.
I appreciate the opportunities to travel and teach detailing classes abroad as well as teaching classes here in the U.S.A. I have sincerely enjoyed my tenure at 3D, and I am grateful to have been part of such an energetic and supportive team.
Moving forward I plan to continue sharing the 3D brand of products to help others be successful with their detailing projects and/or detailing related businesses.
I look forward to taking some time off and then in the near future, announcing my future plans.
In the meantime, I can be reached at showcargarage@gmail.com or 760-515-0444
Sincerely,
Mike Phillips

Maybe he should start his own detailing class company. He would be the best in the world at it. There's nothing like being your own boss.
