Hi folks,

Can anyone recommend a company that offers hands classes in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Thanks!

I don't know of any, at least nothing like my hands-on classes.

I was scheduled to teach a class in Hayward, California just south of you but we're going to re-schedule that date.

Hayward..hmmm that's where a lot of my family lives, where was/it going to be at RX3?
 
@prostar, I don’t know of any detailing classes here in the Bay. What are you wanting from a class? There is myself amongst other detailers out here that would be willing to help you out.


@Cruz, I believe the class Mike is referring to was going to be at P&S.

Hi Mike, thanks for the input. In my limited research it's very surprising that there aren't classes offered around here.

Have you met any reputable owners from my area? Maybe I can start there and ask questions.

For any detailing companies reading, this could be an opportunity!!

Fly07sti offered to help. I'm free there and will be there next weekend for detailing after I get back from ceramic Coating a few cars in Texas.

@fly07sti This would be for hobby purposes and family if they asked. The class would not only serve to learn techniques hands on, but also meet/network with people. I can read and watch videos all day, but theres ongoing value when you meet people face to face.

You also have dream gleam up there in Castro Valley. I spent a weekend teaching him how to polish to help expand his business and knowledge.

@cruzscarwash nice, I'll look up Dream Gleam. Just curious, are you on the road all the time traveling to these different parts of the country doing jobs and trainings?

Yes I do a lot of traveling for detailing. Not so much training, they just happened to reach out to me so I went up and I was able to show him on cars that were wanting to book anyways.

@prostar

@fly07sti and a few other members here had a meet and greet a few years ago and another one a few months ago. If you’re interested we can setup another one when the weather clears up.

We usually meet at someone’s house and spend the day hanging out and polishing/coating a car. @fly07sti has tons of experience that I pick at all the time.

My sister just got a new 2018 Mazda 3 hatchback that needs some TLC. Haha

@apthai that's pretty cool. How can I stay informed on the next meet up?

@fly07sti or myself will reach out to you when the weather clears up and see what everyone's schedule is like.

I can definitely vouch for @fly07sti - he is a great guy. I would offer to host it at my place, since I live in Oakland, but my house is on quite a steep hill so the driveway would be the only option.

Hi guys I'm new to detailing and I'm trying to learn new techniques. I did a one step paint correction on my brothers civic but I still have a lot of swirls. Can I come join ypu guy when ever y'all meet up? I live in Oakland as well. Thank you in advance
 
@irvsmith can you let me know when you guys will meet up. I would like to joing you guys to learn some techniques since I'm new to the detail. I detailed my brothers civic and still have a lot of swirls and would like to know why. Thank you guys in advanced
 
@irvsmith is there anyway I can come to join you guys? I would like to learn some techniques since I'm new to this detailing industry. I live in Oakland and I just detailed my brothes car but don't know why I still see some swirls. Thank you in advanced

Certainly. I will reach out to @fly07sti and see if we can find a time on the calendar. My schedule is a bit of a hit and miss but if we do it at my house I can have the kids inside while I am outside. We would only be able to work on one car at a time since I live on a hill.
 
Now that the weather is finally clearing up, I’m sure we can find a vehicle to do and get everyone together.
