Demo cars for my upcoming detailing class!


The 1940 Chevy was just painted and needs a show car finish.

The 1987 Buick Grand National was re-painted a number of years ago, I've been told it has a pretty nice paint job, basecoat/clearcoat but is all swirled-out.

For a "new" car we can use to learn Production Detailing I'm still looking but I have my buddy Bob's Black Escalade and it's wiped out.

My brother-in-law is looking into a red Thunderbird, one of the recent late model T-birds, not a classic.


Stay tuned...

I always get cool cars for my classes. I get a "new" car too so you get to work on a wide range of types of cars and paint systems.

Plus I just had two of my demo hoods painted and they have plenty of orange peel to practice sanding and buffing.

My wife and I were in Israel this past December for 3 weeks. It's about 6,000 miles. 12 hour flight from Newark going to, and about 14 hours coming back. I did notice while I was there, that the cars are in some serious need of detailing!

 

[Ray@Autogeek]

Sweet cars!!

After checking a few sources, it looks like the shortest distance between Florida and Israel is 6567 miles! Although I'm sure the actual distance traveled will be much more.

That's right, cars here are MESSED UP BAD, there are only 3 Detailers in the whole country ( Real Detailers )...
With Information and techniques from Mike and Renny I am going to be a like superman!

Just in time... Max's 1965 Mustang will be here for my upcoming Detailing Boot Camp Class and we'll be going over how to clean and restore vinyl interiors as well as how to clean and restore vinyl convertible tops.

Here's what she looks like right off the truck...

Interior shot...

I'll get some good before pictures of the vinyl top in it's current condition. Right now it looks dull, dried-out and lifeless...
