I figured you used cars that are just hammered, definitely not I expected. Good looking line up none the less

One of the things I teach in my classes is how to properly inspect the paint for defects. Pictures taken from standing back and under fluorescent lights isn't going to show the true condition.
Your seeing the cars under fluorescent lights - I'll take pictures tomorrow using the SCANGRIP Sunmatch light
None of these cars passes the baggie test either.
I have a very long history of documenting the before and after condition of the cars in my classes. 8+ years here at Autogeek and 7 years at Meguiars. I'm pretty confident I have more documented cars and classes on the Internet than any other person with the word "instructor" by their name.
Hang tight - I always document my work.
I'm going to shoot a Facebook Live Video tomorrow too and I'll use the SCABGRIP Swirl Finder Light in the video.

I'm not disagreeing I just would think I'd see more daily drivers from the past 20-25 years. I mean mine is newish at 11, at least I think. I will stay tuned for the picture and hopefully come February I can come down for a class

Copy that... :xyxthumbs:
Here's the deal... the first part of the class is learning and getting to use all the different tools. In the picture below, these are not all the tools we'll be going over in this class but a portion of the tools and I think most people will agree - this is a LOT of tools!
http://www.autogeekonline.net/galler...olsD166_01.JPG
Each tool set, for example RUPES BigFoot polishers is a tool set, gets 2 cars. This way everyone gets TONS of hands-on buffing time behind each tool. Now I could bring in daily drivers, like a 2004 Honda 4-door Accord and cars like these for the students to learn how to use the RUPES BigFoot polishers on but that would be boring.
Plus with ALL the tool sets we're doing MULTIPLE-STEP correction, polishing and sealing steps and by definition... this is called,
Show Car Detailing
So I bring in real show cars. I know one thing after doing this for so many years now and that is the class loves it!
BUT - I aslo bring in normal daily drivers like you describe. I had 3 daily drives scheduled but do to a snafu - I only have 2 daily drivers, a 2001 Ford Explorer and a 2014 Corvette. The 1966 Chevy Caprice - while it's what I consider an SIV or Special Interest Vehicle, we're going to use it to cover how to detail daily drivers and the class will get to use both of these products when we go over high quality production detailing.
- Meguiar's D166 Ultra Polishing Wax
- 3D HD Speed
Besides bringing the real-deal i.e. real show cars for my classes to learn multiple step paint correction and a few daily drivers to lean daily driver detailing, I also operate under a philosophy explained in my article here,
Run what you brung - Use what you have -Mike Phillips

Hope to see you at a future class. One thing for sure, the cars for these classes are always changing gut the class is consistently over-the-top.

Like I mentioned above, I try to have 3 hammered daily drivers here for teaching how to do high quality production detailing but this time I have 3 car but only one is hammered. The good news is...
It's really hammered!

Scott said the brakes were recently rebuilt on his truck that's why you see fingermarks on the years of brake dust built-up on the wheels...

This Ford Explorer will see the MOST DRAMATIC turn-around and will be a great learning experience for the class coupled with the show cars.
Stay tuned...
