Hemmings Classic Car Magazine - Autogeek makes the cover!
Well Autogeek didn't actually make the cover but one of the cars from our Detailing Boot Camp Class and Thursday Night Projects made the cover.
Jim's 1971 New York Police Patrol Car
I always have cool cars for my class to work on at our Detailing Boot Camp Classes. We hold these classes only 3 times a year and they always fill up.
Jim's 1971 Plymouth Fury New York Police Patrol Car was one of the project cars for the May 2013 class. For this project, my class re sanded the entire car and then did two steps using rotary buffers and one step using a dual action polisher and for must about everyone in this class it was the first time they wet sanded and used rotary buffers.

From the above thread....
The students in the detailing boot camp class did about 95% of the car. The guys that cam to the Thursday night class helped to do the finishing touches to the lower panels and then apply a second coat of wax to the entire police car.
Here's that thread....

My class completely re-sanded the entire car twice, then compounded and machine polished using only rotary buffers and it sits out front of Autogeek right now with a hologram-free finish...
