Pictures & Comments from October 3rd, 2009 Saturday Detailing 101


Everything is set-up and ready to go! Coffee will be hot! Donuts will be fresh!



October 3rd, 2009 Detailing 101

The emphasis of the Detailing 101 class is to learn the basics of what I call the 3 P's

  • Paint
  • Products
  • Procedures
We'll learn to use our hands and the dual action polisher to remove swirls and scratches, then polish the paint to perfection and then seal the paint with a wax or paint sealant.

While lots of people want to jump right to the Advanced Class, it's important to have the above basic skills under your belt first. Besides, you can't always fix everything by machine, so hand techniques are important too.

The focus will be on how to use Meguiar's products for paint correction, polishing and protecting as well as over all car detailing.

Because you can use all of the different tools with Meguiar's paint care products we will also have these tools on hand as well as the G110 for everyone to test out.

See you all here!

WOW! Looks awesome! Wish I could come.

If I'm ever in Florida, I'll be sure to come!
 
Dear Mike,
Thank you for setting this class up. It was very helpful, we got to look at new products and got to see how products we can purchase at our local auto part store can perform the same job at products like M105 and M205. You taugh us so helpful trick to get the job done with ease. We also got to try out diffrent DA and Polishers, I am deff going to get a Flex polisher after today. The outcome where great very easy to use and quicker the the Porter Cable DA. I am looking forward to the 102 class tomorrow.

Thanks
Shawn

Thanks very much Mike for a very informative session. I'm only an enthusiast who works on my own car and I was able to pick up a lot of great tips.

Looks like a real good turn out there.I'm sure alot was learned
 
man I wished I lived in that area...would love to go through on your basic/advance classes just to see if there is something I dont know or something I can approve upon in technigue!
 
Mike, I would like to thank you and all the staff for being so helpful and freindly. The class was very informative and it was great to try the equipment in order to make the decision of buying easier. Looking forward to the 102 class in the future.

We all know that Mike's reputation preceeded him to the East Coast. Happy to report that he did not disappoint. Newbee or Pro, you are guaranteed to pick up some gems from this class. I definitely plan to come back for 102 as soon as possible.

Thanks to Max, Mike, Meghan, Jason, Dwayne and all the AutoGeek folks for the hospitality! You run an absolutely first class operation.

Regards, Jay
 
So here's an idea.
How about Autogeek does a road trip and does a series of classes across the country.

That is a great idea that we have talked about and maybe it will be something for us in the future.
 
Thank you Auto-geek (Mike, Jason, Meghan, Dwayne, and Max) for putting such a quality class together. I had a great time meeting the staff and getting to know some fellow enthusiasts.

I would recommend this class to anyone wanting better results from both, the products you're buying, and the time you're devoting to detailing. I learned a lot about the variables involved in polishing paint and how each one effects your results. To me there's no substitute for the kind of hands on experience these classes offer.

Mike and Autogeek staff, the Saturday class was very interesting, I learned a lot of things and I hope to take the Detailing 102 class in the future. Thank you for your hospitality and friendly attention.
 
I was just wondering why you marked the backing plate and pad with a sharpie marker in that one picture.
 
There wasn't a whole bunch I learned from the 101 class, but I did enjoy the class and I did pick up a few bits of knowledge. It was great having Mike answer questions and explain things so that they are easy to comprihend, and also it's nice to see the autogeek team runs a clean and efficient operation, and everyone was friendly and knowledgable from what I could gather. I definately got more from the 102 class in terms of knowledge and experience, but this was a great class regardless, and I imagine it would be very helpful and informative to the majority of enthusiast and hobby detailers out there. Thank you for the time and effort Mike, and thank you for the facility and products Autogeek :dblthumb2:

And I swear...the Asian gentleman looks EXACTLY like Hiro Nakamura from the TV series Heroes!!! :D I didn't know he detailed cars too! ;)

J/K. All of the classes offered by AG are on my list of items to be checked off in the very near future! I can't wait.
