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.

Topics covered

The order of steps and how to do each step

1. Traditional engine detailing
2. Headlight correction
3. Exterior glass polishing
4. Wheel and tire cleaning
5. Chemical decontamination

We did not block out any rooms at any hotels as I think that's only done for HUGE events.

I did post the below yesterday and it lists all the local hotels.

***Update***


Jesse aka Hllywd has offered us two of his personal cars for this class. I've accepted the 1967 GTO and will make the "Go" or "No Go" decision on the 1970 Monte Carlo after Yancy and I arrive to Wisconsin and have a chance to inspect the original paint.



1967 GTO - Basecoat/Clearcoat paint system

1970 Monte Carlo - Original enamel paint

Going to look at the paint on the Monte Carlo and see if it would be a good teaching car for the #7 Rub Down Technique.

Will make decision after I see the car in person.

I hope it is a "Go"... as I will be attending, would like to learn this technique, and like the first generation Monte Carlos!

We also have a classic Cadillac offered, not sure what the paint system is though.

Here's a real treat... the split window Corvette had to cancel due to a schedule change but that's okay as everything in life works out for the right reasons.

Here's the good news, to replace the split window Corvette we have this incredibly cool 1968 Dodge Dart!

The people attending this class are going to get to work on some incredible cars as they work through ALL the cool tools and learn the art of polishing paint.

Speaking of... I pulled up next to an awesome '66 Camaro SS convertible at a stoplight today and noticed the paint could use a little work. I was tempted to jump out of my car and ask the guy if he wanted to get it detailed by a world class detailing instructor next week.
