Sunday: Production Detailing

The second day of class Mike covers how to do high quality production detailing. There's a specific reason production detailing is taught AFTER show car detailing and you'll learn why in the class.

Production detailing is the bread and butter of the detailing business because there is a larger population of people that want their daily driver washed and waxed as compared to the number of people that want a show car finish on a special toy. You'll learn how to do both styles in Mike's class and you'll learn how to reduce steps and time while maintaining pro-grade results.

Just to add...


The classes here at Autogeek always sell out and usually we have people that want to get in at the last minute and if the class if full we have ask that they sign-up for the next class. The class coming up next weekend sold-out a month ahead of time.


The class in England last year sold out as did the Roadshow class at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. So if you want to attend the class at Lake Country Pads shop then clear your schedule, make your plans and get signed-up.

It will be fun and educational and like all my classes you'll get the most hands-on time out of any class on planet Earth. I guarantee it.

Wow.. I never thought you guys would venture up to WI. But joining up with LC makes a lot of sense. Oconomowoc (pronounced Oh-CON-Ah-Ma-Walk) is a very nice area. I won't be able to attend but it would be great to meet everyone.

How cool! I'm in WI and would love to attend. Gotta convince the wife first...tall order. How many can attend the class?

David

I 100% want to do this. I just have to see if I can dig up a grand. I'm only 20 minutes from where you're hosting!

I convinced the wife! Woot, woot! I am officially registered. Can't wait for August and am super excited to learn from the best - Mike Phillips.

Congratulations David for getting the wife's approval!

Looking forward to meeting and working with you!

Welcome to Wisconsin Mike. I'm a little over an hour away from there. Do you need any cars for the class? I could supply you with a 67 GTO, and/or a 70 Monte Carlo. If so, I won't do much with them this summer. Otherwise I was going to polish/coat them starting next week. This is COOL!

EDIT: Let me know if you need any help with the class. I can be a go-fer!
