I personally LOVE the Sidekick, it's one of my Top 10 Favorite Tools. It's POWERFUL and handy as all heck for all types of car detailing tasks like blowing the leaves and dirt out of an engine compartment before you detail it AND blowing the water out of electrical connections and other areas AFTER you use an Engine Degreaser and rinse the engine compartment.

Book Signing

It's always a pleasure and an honor at the end of each class to personally sign my how-to books for the attendees of our classes. Each person gets a copy of, The Complete Guide to a Show Car Shine, How to Detail a Boat, The RUPES BigFoot Paint Polishing System and the FLEX XC 3401 VRG.


Here's Josh and Zack getting their books signed.

Welcome to Columbus! I'm going to be out of town part of this weekend but if there's a chance to stop by and say hello, I'd love to do so. I'm only 5 minutes away but understand if you're busy.
 
Mike: PLEASE get a shot of that 427 under the hood of the 'Vette.

Pretty sure I know that 1969 Corvette. If it's the car I'm thinking of, it was once part of the Bob McDorman collection. McDorman was a legendary Corvette dealer and collector here in central Ohio. His collection once topped over 80 cars and he had to rebuild the collection one time after losing nearly all of them to a massive fire ... the sole survivor was his (sort of) DD, a '67 big block coupe. Bob also held a Corvette Concours every fall for many years and it was highly rated by the NCRS. I got lucky and won a "Show & Shine" award there once for my '66.

I wish I had a scanner. I have hundreds of photos from McDorman's Concours shows over the years. Corvettes for as far as the eye could see, predominantly 53-70's. McDorman would park his whole collection right at the entrance so you'd be wowed right from the get-go.

Any chance of that being the 450hp L-88?

Nope. L-88's did not have a radio antenna. IIRC, that is one of the only discerning visible (exterior) features. I don't think L-88's could have the optional J02 wheel covers like this car either. McDorman's Cortez Silver 1969 was not an L-88.
 
That’s a great line up of cars. :props:

Dig the slant nose Porsche ... that Boxster is going to be a MASSIVE turnaround I can feel it.

Enjoy everyone. :buffing:

Had a blast at this roadshow class! Also had the privilege of driving the boxster home.

Really enjoyed being able to use a variety of top notch machines and products and be able to form your own opinion of which is right for you.

Mike’s unbiased and hands on approach really makes this class unique.

Not to sound like a salesman, but if you were even remotely considering taking this class, I would highly recommend it.

Thank you you for sharing your experience Jarod!

And “yes” the Boxter came out remarkable! As did all the cars!

For the record, the L88 was rated at 430 HP, not 450.

Although, most would state the the "actual" HP was over 500.

Instead of lowballing the L88 @ just 430 HP...
I’m going to go with the factory-claimed/rated
horsepower of 435.

{Actual HP: ~540-580}

Here’s the results for the black Corvette.

We had special guest Nick McQueen from RUPES at this class to share the RUPES Paint Polishing System.

I walked into this class with some experience under my belt. Everything I knew before this class was self taught through trial and error or learned from forums and YouTube.

I'm not saying you can't learn that way, but what that does not do is give you access to one-on-one dialogue with a top notch professional (Mike Phillips) along with the plethora of tools he gives you access to.

This 2 day class was more in-depth and hands on than any course I have taken before. Having the ability to try so many products and tools greatly cut down on the trial and error I will need to go through in the future.

This class also opened my eyes to things that have caused me struggles with my detailing business on the side. Everything from taking too long, struggling with a product, or not matching my work to the level the customer is expecting (I usually go further than they are paying for)

. I know that after this class I will be able to offer a higher level of service and in less time. For those reasons I can not recommend this class enough.

If you are a part time detailer trying to make money on the side then what you learn from this class will easily pay for itself in no time.

And keep your ears open because Mike drops these little tips throughout the weekend that are actually huge pieces of advice. Something I learned from Mike,

The little things are actually the big things!
