GLASS POLISHING

I think I'm the only guy that includes 2 types of glass polishing in all of my car detailing classes. When the class was washing cars the learned

Water Spot Glass Polishing


This is where you polish glass to remove road film, water spots and drizzle stains, which are things ON the glass.


Next I teach

Scratch Removal Glass Polishing

This is where you polish glass to remove wiper marks, pits and scratches that are IN the glass.


The difference is in the ABRASIVE TECHNOLOGY you use and the TIME and MANUAL LABOR required.


The 1954 Ford F100 wetsanding training vehicle had nasty wiper marks on the driver's side. So the class got first-hand knowledge and experience on how to make the scratches disappear.

Scuff & Buff Wetsanding

The Mike Phillips method of safe wetsanding to knock down orange peel


I teach two styles of wetsanding in my classes.

1. Scuff & Buff Wetsanding
   
2. Show Car Wetsanding
   

The below pictures show the Scuff & Buff Wetsanding Technique to a CUSTOM paint job on a local buddies 1954 Ford F100 Streetrod with a fresh custom paint job. As you can see in this picture, both styles are taking place at the same time. There's a reason for this and I explain it in my classes. Point being - this is a hands-on class and no one stands around with their hands in their pockets or worse - their hands on a desk while they sit in a chair.






Step 1: Scuff sanding















Hey Michael - you're supposed to be working by HAND.











Step 2: Use rotary buffer to remove sanding marks

Thank you to FLEX North America for donating 20 FLEX PE14 Rotary Polishers to Autogeek to support education for the detailing industry and sponsor our classes.













































Step 3: Remove holograms and create a true swirl-free show car finish!

Thank you FLEX North America for donating over 20 FLEX 3401 and Flex XFE7-15 Finishers to support education for the detailing industry and sponsor our classes.















Hey Michael - you're supposed to be watching what you're doing not looking at Andre....


























Results!

Incredible! Keep in mind most of these people have NEVER wetsanded before nor used a rotary buffer!

Thank you for the pics! I loved the 2013/14 Mustang GT, the 1971 (my guess) Mustang and the 1955 (I don't think it's a 1956) Ford F100. Dig the Old Chevy P/U too. Looks like the class was a lot of fun! KEEP ON ROCKING!

Thanks! Takes a little time to make the pictures magically show-up on a forum. A monkey with a thumb and a smart phone can put a picture on Facebook.

What a great boot camp !!!!

As a machinist for 39 years I am all about details....And Mikes training was very ,very detailed information.

Mike answered every question I asked. So much training in three days, all with personal attention from Mike or his assistant Andre.

To have the opportunity to work on very high end vehicles was a once in a lifetime experience. So many tools, so many products with the chance to try them all. Incredible!!!

Mike Phillips class offers a lifetime of information in three fast paced day. Plus he is so nice you would want him as your neighbor.
