    Pictures & Comments May 2018 3-Day Detailing Class at Autogeek with Mike Phillips



    It's 8:06pm, I think this is the latest I've ever left in 9+ year for a 3-day class. No problems, just covered so many topics today and we detailed 6 cars from start to finish.


    Will post some pics and videos later, just needed to start this thread for the future.

    Here’s what’s up for tomorrow - the black 1949 Chevy Fleetline looks good huh?

    In the sun the paint is completely filled with holograms.

    The Chevelle paint feels like sandpaper.






    Here’s overhead fluorescent lights.

    My best friend had a 1952 Fleetline Coupe that looked alot like that 1 back when we were 16yrs. old. Great memories cruising in that car. Can’t wait to see how it looks after you guys are done with it. Have fun!

    Just did the test spot on the Fleetline, paint is basecoat/clearcoat and very soft.

    Mike,

    I just wanted to thank you for all the years of knowledge you have shared with our class in the last 2 days. I have been working on a couple car projects for the last few years and have always had a toy or two. I like doing my own work but could only keep my vehicles clean and maintained and had to pay more than i wanted for inferior detailing services. The cars always looked fine but to the trained eye not so good.

    Watching your videos gave me general ideas on things i needed to change in how I washed and cared for my cars. I've been wanting to take it to the next level but I didn't feel comfortable experimenting with a buffer or any power tools without hands on training. Unfortunately life gets in the way and i kept on putting the class off. Finally, I pulled the trigger and booked it and boy am I glad I did. After 2 days and still a third ahead of me i can say i feel the confidence to step up my game.

    I will study the tools and different products tonight to make the right purchases. We have gone over so much I need to let it kinda soak in. I'm glad we have been able to try so many different tools and products. I have already narrowed it down to a couple different polishers and products that I will purchase but want to find the right system for me. Your facility and crew are top notch and your teaching skills are second to none. The cars we have been able to work on are great and the final results have been amazing. Again thanks for all your help and patience.

    Bill Whalen
