3-Day Hands-on Detailing Class - Indianapolis Motor Speedway - Friday, Saturday and Sunday October 7th, 8th & 9th
Do you want to learn how to detail cars!
Or
Would you like to take your current knowledge and skill level to a higher level?
Instead of reading hundreds of how-to articles or watching hundreds of YouTube videos why not simply get it all figured out in three fast-paced, action packed days with me Mike Phillips and my friends at SONAX, FLEX and Dr. Color Chip?
I've been teaching people the craft of professional car detailing and specifically, the art of polishing paint since 1987! As long and usually longer than anyone still breathing today.
I make learning fun and easy!
There is no droning on and on and on for hours sitting in a chair in my classes. No way!
My classes are EXTREMELY hands-on! In fact, I'm the only detailing instructor that documents exactly just how hands-on my classes are with full write-ups (written by me) and with hundreds of pictures showing my students working on cars... not sitting in chairs. Just do some searching on the Internet and you'll see.

I know from experience that people learn from doing, not looking at a power point presentation from their chair. So be fully assured that when you attend ANY class connected to my name you better get a good night's sleep because you're going to need all your energy to keep up.
