Re: Pictures: Paint Correction - Ceramic Coatings Class - Autogeek - February 2020 - 100% Hands On Training
The class was extremely hands-on, informative and valuable to increasing my knowledge in auto detailing.
Mike is an absolute pro in his craft and does a tremendous job teaching us students. He makes the class fun and entertaining. I want to thank Mike for hosting these classes and I want to also thank Andre and Marcus for their contributions to the class. You guys were all fantastic.
I have been wanting to take some sort of formal auto detail training for quite sometime now. I've been into detailing my own cars since I started driving 20 years ago and I picked up my first polisher 10 years ago or so. I started occasionally doing details and paint corrections for friends and family and found passion in the results.
I've been purchasing detailing supplies from Autogeek for about 10 years now and saw they offered detailing classes. I've worked in the electrical distribution industry for over 13 years now and have dreamt of going full time but one of my biggest hang ups in my skills is how long it takes me. I can easily spend 15-20 hours doing a paint correction and detail on a car and even doing this on the side, isn't profitable for my time spent.
I was able to learn how to speed things up and just get the job done using the correct tools, products and techniques. I've stayed away from ceramic coatings but Marcus taught us how they aren't nothing to be concerned about and how easy they were to apply.
The cars themselves were a complete blast to work on and when Mike says bucket list cars, I couldn't agree more. All the classic cars we did along with the Ford GT were just unbelievable.
Overall the class was extremely valuable and I would highly recommend it if you are on the fence trying to decide.
It's unfortunate that their building management wont allow washing cars outside any longer. As simple as washing is, that is one area that I struggle with living here in Colorado. Between our cold snowy winters that leave salt, sand and other road grime all over your cars exterior.
We have sunny hot summers with little to no humidity. We are located at over 6000' in elevation and water basically evaporates before it hits the ground. So to say the least, washing cars outside is a challenge. I personally try to wash our own cars before the sun comes up or after it goes down but when thinking about doing this full time, I dont think mobile is an option.
I'm hung up on how to proceed with my desire to go full time. Getting into some sort of commercial lease seems daunting. The rinseless and waterless washing techniques were fantastic but feel like they are reserved for pretty clean vehicles to begin with.
Any suggestions or guidance that would assist me in my full time interest would be appreciated.
