These classes are the real deal. Here's another example of why these are the most hands-on training classes on the planet earth.
Before pictures - full documentation of the true condition
First - here's the car a 1970 Plymouth Superbird with high resolution pictures fully documenting the condition of the car when it arrived on Wednesday, September 21, 2016 for the September 2016 Competition Ready 3-Day Detailing Class.
These pictures were taken with the Superbird parked right outside Autogeek's Show Car Garage with the sun directly overhead.
Next... I took these pictures of the car on August 8th, 2016 while the car was at the Tuesday Night Lew's Crew Cruise-in. Even though the sun was low in the sky as the Tuesday night cruise-in starts at 6:00pm, you can still easily see the hologram scratches caused by the misuse of a rotary buffer in the paint.

Here I've zoomed in to focus on the holograms.
Here's the paint just behind the driver's side hideaway headlight...
Ouch!
Why oh why do some guys still think this is how you buff out a car?
Here's the trunk lid...
In this shot you can clearly see both round circular scratches that surround the point of light created by the sun reflecting off the paint and you can also see these wispy lines of swirls. It is these 3D-like, holographic lines that shimmer and appear to move when you move your head while inspecting the paint that are the tale-tale signs of holograms.
The lines in the paint mimic the direction the rotary buffer was moved over the paint. The the single rotating direction the pad is spinning together with the product used imparts a scratch pattern called holograms.
You can clearly see where the person that machine polished this car moved the rotary buffer vertically, up and down the door....
NO!!!!!
Say it isn't so.... don't tell me they swirled out the wing with holograms?
Yep... at least they were thorough.... :dunno:
As you can see, as cool as this muscle car is the entire finish is filled with holograms, swirls and scratches and thus makes a perfect training car for learning the art of polishing paint.
