    I need to do a better job of getting a good 50/50 tape line during my corrections for pictures. Either way, these show the results fairly well. It was already dark by the time I finished the detail so I couldn't get sun pics.

    Very nice work. If I could offer an opinion, You should either add a rotary for faster cutting, or get some good wool pads for the 3401 to take some time off of the cutting step. That might help you out.

    I agree, I've been thinking of adding a Flex rotary to my arsenal.

    Re: How to Get More Efficient Doing Paint Corrections/Coatings

    So this car was 4 hours start to finish for me to give it a 1 step Paint correction and then a 2 year ceramic coating.

    I used a prep wash to get it ready before polishing and then coated.

    The only before and afters I have are video stills from my recordings

    4 hours including coating install? That's a good pay day right there!

    What coating did you use? And what did you polish it with? That's a quick turn!

    Yesterday I confirmed a 1964 Impala with a 409 BIG BLOCK for my February class.





    I'm sorry to say I never had the time to get all the great action pictures showing your class working on all the cars. Right after the September class, I had to prep for a roadshow and after that SEMA.




    I'm a little sensitive to how my classes are positioned BECAUSE I've seen a few people state that in a large class you don't get enough ONE-ON-ONE time with the Instructor but the person saying this has also NEVER been to one of my classes. I make sure EVERYONE gets TONS of one-on-one with me as I walk around the entire time, for 3 days and walk right up to each person and check with them on how they're doing and if they have any questions.

    I also stop and share tips and techniques that apply to the person and the tool and the procedure being performed in real-time and PRO-ACTIVELY.

    No harm, no foul, I just like to make sure all the hundreds, if not thousands of people that will read this thread into the future have an accurate impression for any class I teach.

    And as you witnessed first-hand - we start early, worked late and everyone was on their feet working on cars each day. The ONLY time anyone sat in a chair was to eat lunch and that was kept to about 15 to 20 minutes. That's how I run my classes. I cover so many tools, products and techniques there's simply no way we could get through them all by sitting in chairs looking at a wall. (looking at a slide in a power point presentation).

    If a person learns best by sitting in a chair by all means, take any of the other classes on the market.




    Thank you. And you know what? I really enjoyed it to. I love all my classes and that's because as I've been typing for years, I love to do two things,

    1: I love detailing cool cars. It's my passion.

    2: I love teaching others to detail - I have empathy - I've been in their shoes when first starting out.



    You're doing good. Speed comes with practice and practice makes perfect.

    Selling yourself at a higher price point is your next challenge.


    Do you ever teach classes in Las Vegas?
