Pictures - Allentown, Pennsylvania Roadshow Car Detailing Class

[wantzone]

Wanted to comment on the Allentown class that ended today. :xyxthumbs:

This was an excellent class, our group detailed a total of 10 cars in two days.

Mike Phillips was on point with all the information he taught us. Have been detailing friends, relatives and personal cars for several years. I learned quite a few time saving tips and new ways to approach detailing.

If your interested in detailing or want to learn more regarding detailing you would be a fool not to attend a Mike Phillips detailing class. He reviews chemicals, power tools and the best way to achieve professional results. All the cars that were detailed reflected like glass.

The class covered everything from engine detailing, convertible top cleaning & care, the ability to use all the new cool tools in the detailing industry.

Thanks for Bill hosting the event and Mike for all the knowledge.

I’ve attended a couple of detailing classes within the last couple of years, but this class was by far the BEST class hands down!

Mike made sure that everyone that left that class knew what they were doing. I urge anyone who is looking to take this course or any course by Mike Phillips for that matter, to just do it!

It’s not a waste time or money like some other classes might be. I would know cause I’ve been to the shitty class, and wasted my time and money by going.

Trust me! You need to take one of his classes and you’ll finish a new person with a much higher skill set. Stop wasting time thinking about it and register today! You’ll be glad you did!

I arrived back to Stuart, Florida today and fly out for Evansville, Indiana early tomorrow morning to work with Dennis Gage.

Here’s the Certificate pictures from this class. These stellar people detailed 10 cars in 2 days and each car came out phenomenal!

I’ll add pictures of all the cars this class detailed here - have to hit the hay - alarm is set for 2:30am - flight boards at 5:00am


Also - the yellow Corvette and the black Porsche are 2 of the cars the class detailed. These were the BLACKFIRE One Step cars where the students had the opportunity to use any tool they wanted to spend more time with or revisit.

Besides detailing the first 2 cars, we also went over

Wet wash engine detailing
Topical glass polishing
Machine tire scrubbing
Wheel brushes and wheel cleaning
Chemical paint decontamination
Mechanical paint decontamination
Foam guns

We started at 6:30am and washed 4 cars, detailed 2 cars all be fore lunch and this includes tons of techniques both during the wash session and the paint correction and paint polishing session.

Then we had an awesome pizza lunch!

And those are MilSpec ProLock extension cords you see plugged into to the electrical outlets to the left.

I have 20 of these for our classes to make sure all the tools get the proper supply of power for the best experience with all the different tools.

New this year - because we go over so many tools, products and techniques- I start these classes at 6:30am and run them all the way to 6:30pm!

And I start the ON TIME!

Wet wash engine detailing - FIRST THING at the start of the class. No sitting. No looking at a Power Point slide projected onto the wall.

On your feet, hands-on training!!!

Topical glass polishing BEFORE washing the car!

Nice people pics, Mike.

(Am I the only one hearing "Allentown" by Billy Joel in my head while reading these posts?) :laughing:

I am so glad that I chose to attend this class! Mike is an awesome instructor.

I began the class with never having used a polisher on a car before, and I left the class with the confidence to compound and polish on my own.

I had never applied a coating to a car before, but I now know I can.

We also got the opportunity to use a lot of different tools and products, which allowed me to figure out which tools and products I prefer. I cannot imagine any other detailing training beating the hands on training in this class, unless it would be Mike's 3 day detailing class, which I would love to attend also.

This was quality hands on training.

And that's what these classes are all about. People on their feet using tools and product and learning by doing.


It was a genuine pleasure having you in the class, I hope I didn't come off as the Evil Task Master! I just figure, I have everyone for 2 days and I know everyone wants to do a LOT OF STUFF - so I push everyone so we can get through all the tools, products and techniques.

I am not a professional detailer. I enjoy detailing my cars. I saw this class became available really close to where I live. I just did not know if the class would be worth the price.

I read what the class offered, watched a couple of Mike's videos, and decided to go for it. I am glad I did.

Mike is an amazing teacher of his craft. He taught me so many aspects of detailing a car that I never knew. The class was an absolute blast. Everything you do is hands-on.

I used tools and products that I never knew existed, nor how to properly use them. I guess the old saying is true,

"To be the best, you have to learn from the best."

Mike is the best at his craft, and he shares his knowledge. Thank you, Mike!

For everyone who takes this class, wear comfortable shoes. You do not sit down, and you will use every piece of equipment that Mike brings to the class. Well worth every penny spent.
