Re: Pictures & Comments - May 2017 Competition Ready 3-Day Detailing Class with Mike Phillips
Day 1 has come to an end. We hit the ground running in there. Thought I would share a pic and some (but not all) of the things we did today. We used the Rupes system on this Black Cadillac and I was a big fan, even their detail spray and sealant were awesome. My Rupes 15 was being finicky with the rotation so I worked a bit on hard mode until I tried another 15 that worked better. Overall it seemed like the Rupes was a tool that could really be worked and manipulated by a skilled user, although thus far we have not hit all the machines for me to fully compare. BTW this was my first time using a polisher, and I "detailed" a car for the first time earlier this week, so I'm pretty happy with everything I got to do. We also did a couple cars with a Gyeon compound/polish/prime 3-step (with some Gyeon Prep on some taped sensitive spots that didn't get the primer) followed by a Gyeon Q2 MOHS coating on top of the primed paint. So on day one I've already built some confidence (especially working on classic cars) and learned some processes that should prove to be quote useful.

Thanks to David and Don at Lake Country and Jason at Sonax for the extra help. I was using the Flex3401 on this hood and having a rough time handling such a powerful machine. Our special guests have been patient and helpful and Jason was by my side on this one inspecting the paint and helping me with my technique. This car was done with a Sonax compound and polish followed by their aerosol sealant Polymer Net Shield. To me though, the most interesting Sonax products we used today were the Multistar Universal Cleaner and their dressing product which we used for a cosmetic engine detail. I was impressed with both. Too many products to name today actually that I was impressed with from several brands. Wheel and tire cleaners, foam gun, fabric and vinyl convertible brush and protectants to name a few.

As I type this it's Monday, 3:00pm and we just finished our 4th IDA SV test.
I'm off until Wednesday and then I'll start sharing some of the pictures of the students and the amazing work they did during the 3 days of this class.
To everyone that attended, thank you for being such a GREAT class!
