    Re: Pictures & Comments from July 10th, 2011 Sunday Detailing 102 - Advanced Class

    The GTO turned out awesome!



    These guys really stepped up to the plate, we machine dampsanded, cut and polished the paint on this 1971 GTO and saved the paint job. This was a huge undertaking but the finish came out really nice. I'll share some better pictures off my Canon Digital Rebel tomorrow...

    A huge thank you to everyone that participated today in the Advanced Class, you guys really did a great job!

    All taped off and ready to go!








    Two Grit Guard Universal Detailing Carts & Pad Washers all set up ready to go. Two is better than one!





    Everyone gathers around as Mike explains the game plan.





    Checking the paint thickness.









    Mike showing how to properly fold sand paper to sand by hand.







    Mike showing the class how to inspect the area that was just sanded.





    Check out Daniel as he practices perfect technique for wet sanding by hand.





    Teamwork!









    Flawless!







    And there's Sergio! I don't think I've seen this guy without a smile on his face.





    Tavares wet sanding the roof by hand.

    These guys did an excellent job. Sanding by hand is a delicate process that requires perfect technique, and these guys pulled it off successfully.






    Mike going over the areas sanded by hand with the class.





    Time to show the guys how it's done with the 3M Pneumatic Air Sander.







    Mike tackling the small areas with the Griot's Garage 3" Polisher, Meguiar's 3" interface and 1500 grit sanding disc.







    And then it was time to break out the trusty PC 7424xp.





    Looks like two professionals in the making right there!







    Sergio and Tavares tackle the roof with the G110v2 and PC 7424xp.





    And again the Griot's 3" comes to the rescue!

    Mike gets to work with Tavares and Daniel to finish the passenger side.







    It's no coincidence that we had Tavares sanding the roof. He could easily reach the center of the roof with no sweat.





    Mike sanding the intricate areas with the Griot's 3"





    Look at all that clear!





    Almost finished!





    After wet sanding Mike shows the class how to properly remove sanding marks using a rotary polisher and a wool pad, the guys don't waste any time and get to work.

    After removing the sanding marks, the guys grab the rotary polisher of their choice, a 6" white polishing pad and a finishing polish.




    It's gettin' there!



    Mike goes through the final wipe with the guys..



    The guys admiring their work..



    The GTO turned out awesome!

    After the Cadillac is returned I'll move the GTO over to the polishing deck and get some good after shots...

    Here's a close-up of the Extreme Makeover Team for the GTO

    From left to right...

    Dan, James, Tavares is behind Sergio and myself, then Robert, behind Robert is Nick, then Dan then Eric






    These guys worked incredibly hard and they should all be very proud of their accomplishment!
