Detail Day at Nick's Custom Detailing - Dallas, Texas - November 14th

This class will probably fill up pretty fast as there's only 30 spaces available.

To attend, you must reply to the thread on the MOL forum.

Here's the link,

Nick is a very talented detailer and he's opening his shop doors for a full-on class that will include,

  • Working by hand
  • Working with a dual action polisher
  • Wet-sanding by hand and machine
  • Using a rotary buffer


It's going to be fairly fast-paced and condensed but also a lot of fun.


Limited to the first 30 people that sign-up.


See you there!

I posted this over on DetailCity.com but thought I would post it here to because it's so true...

For anybody that doesn't know Nick Chapman, he's a machine.

When he flew into Irvine, CA to help with the Batmobile Extreme Makeover we nicknamed him the Eveready Energizer Bunny because there was no stopping him or slowing him down.

Nick's the guy in the blue shirt polishing on the front driver's fender of the Joker truck

Here he is doing a test spot on the rear of the Batmobile, the chemist came over and let us use Lab Samples of M205 on the Batmobile and after we were done no one wanted to give back what was left of the samples it worked so well on the single stage paint on this car.

He's a machine.

Everyone that gets to go to this event will find that out, he's also a heck of a nice guy.

Fun shot!

I really hope some of our Autogeek regular forum members can make this event. Roadshow classes are far and few between.

Class is almost full!

Over that last few years I always have people asking me for a roadshow class and here's your chance if you're in the Dallas, Texas area.

Heck we had one guy drive over 600 miles one way for the class we held here at Autogeek a the 2009 Detail Fest.

These are far and few between...

I wish I could go but Dallas is too far away. :( San Antonio, Austin or Houston would be a different story. I have places I can hang out at. Also, I would be able to drive my lil Mazda 3s GT there. :props:

Too far ? ur kidding right :wow:
Im driving from Tulsa Oklahoma....now thats a bit of distance !

Sorry you cant make it !
 
Too far ? ? If I can make it from Indy, surely a trip from the southern tip of texas would be an adventure.LOL J/K I use to run air-frieght from Memphis to Harlingen for Fed-X and that was a long boring trip. It will be nice though to put a face to some of these posters names.

Well, I did not feel I needed to add any more information to what I stated, so, here we go. I also have to keep an eye on my grandparents since no one in our family is quick to responding to their home if anything happens. Trust me, I know since I have to hall A** to there place every once in a while.

SO, yes. TOO FAR with no free time to try to attend.

SRHTX,

Meant no offense, just a friendly ribbing ! Honestly you didnt have to
add the too far comment, then my comment would have not been made.

Understand family obligations....I cannot work at present since my wife
had surgery on her legs, so I am her caretaker and chauffeur as well
till mid October !

Peace my friend :)
 
I found out to late! I'm on the waiting list as Counselor - any chance I can pay an admission price and sneak in?
 
Man I so wish I would have seen this sooner. Dallas is close and I have nothing else scheduled that day. Would have loved to be able to be there.
 
***Update***

Just arrived back to Stuart, Florida from SEMA where I had a chance to talk to Nick Chapman about the upcoming class at his detail shop in


At SEMA I met Bob Greer, a custom car painter and detailer for over 25 years and also the inventor of the Thumbgun! Here you can see a variety of polishers with Thumbguns mounted on them and ready to get to work.

Bob's going to set us up with one of these new tools for the Dallas Roadshow Class so everyone can have a chance to try it out.

Also, on Sunday we're going to do an Extreme Makeover on an all original 1954 Mercedes-Benz that from what we know has never been painted and never been professionally polished since leaving the dealership. While the paint appears shiny in the below pictures we've been told the finish is filled with swirls and scratches so our goal will be to restore a true swirl-free, show car finish with a team of people including Nick Chapman and myself.

I'll be taking my trusty, dusty Brinkman Swirl Finder Light and do my best to capture the true condition of this car's paint before a team of people start polishing it to perfection.

Stay tuned...


:)
 
This is so exciting... I enjoy reading about your Road Trips !

What's involved in getting you to leave your Home Base and do a Road Trip?

Are you doing all this on your own Dime... or is this part of promoting AUTOGEEK and it's products outside of Florida?
 
I would like to thank Nick and Mike for a great get together. I am looking forward to using what I learned on my Jeep as soon as possible. :applause:
