Detail Class Training Cars for January 2015
I'll be posting pictures of the cars we'll be using for the first Detailing Boot Camp Class in the year 2015.
This January class is already full. The next classes are,
Cool Cars
For all my classes I have a dedicated car for each tool set so everyone has plenty of hands-on learning time. If you'll notice, the cars tend to be huge so there's plenty of real estate which gives everyone lots of room to work. For paint correction most of the cars are classics, muscle cars and streetrods because my experience shows me that cool cars are more fun and more memorable for the class.
Daily Drivers
I also have 2-3 modern daily drivers to teach,
With the above all said, here's the first two vehicles I've confirmed for the January 2015 Detailing Boot Camp Class. As I confirm more cars I'll post their pictures to this thread.
1971 Chevy Pickup Truck
This car is completely contaminated and the exterior feels like #40 Grit Sandpaper!
It's also been buffed out with a wool pad on a rotary buffer so all the paint is filled with swirls and holograms. Our job will be to restore a show car finish.
Paint looks pretty good in this shot....
Light em up!
Here's what it looks like with the Swirl Finder Light lighting up the paint...
This swirl pattern is called holograms, it's caused by the wrong use of a rotary buffer.
Same thing over the rest of the truck, here's the passenger side truck bed.
Trust
We earned Orlando's trust to work on this truck after we removed the hologram swirls out of his very cool 1964 Impala Convertible.
