Afternoon Session - One-Step Detailing
One step detailing is also called production detailing. In this session you will learn which types of cars and other projects are best suited for an AIO type product, (All-in-One), also called a cleaner/wax. The focus on this class is how to restore a neglected car's finish to like-new condition in only one step. Also called Speed Detailing. This type of detailing is great for enthusiasts taking care of their own daily drivers or for professional detailers for their budget package and also things like dealership work.
1: Washing Techniques for Waterless Washes and Rinseless Washers
The afternoon session covers how, where, when, why and what for using either a waterless or rinseless wash. Correct techniques for both types are covered and when to use one over the other. Also covered are the correct types of wash media and other tools needed to clean a car without running water safely.
2: Mechanical decontamination - Why and how to use detailing clay and clay substitutes
Students learn the proper technique for using detailing clay as well as clay substitutes.
3: Taping-off and covering up to save time and marketing purposes
Students will build on the foundation created in the morning session as well as learn the marketing side of taping-off and covering stain-sensitive surfaces.
4: One-step high quality detailing
Where the morning session goes over how to use a multiple-step approach for show car results, the afternoon session covers how to correctly use All-in-One products to compound, polish and protect the paint in one-step. This type of detailing is perfect for entry level detailing packages as well as daily drivers, budget details, RV's, and large vehicles like trucks and vans where the owner or customer does not want or need a ceramic coating. There are dos and don't when it comes to this type of detailing, which you will learn in the class. Everyone should have the skill set and knowledge to correctly perform one-step detailing jobs whether you're an enthusiast or you detail for money.
Tools - Pads - Products
I call this free-for-all. Students can choose and use any tool and pad combo they previously used in the morning session. This is your opportunity to spend more time with any tool that has attracted your interest and attention and you're thinking about investing in. You can even use multiple tools, it's your choice. The importance of abrasive technology is stressed in this class as well as how to under-promise and over-deliver exceptional results. You will learn how to get show car results in half the time.
Our one-day class is the most intense hands-on class that covers more tools and techniques than any other class in this industry.
There's no power point and no sitting. By 8:00am you will be doing hands-on training on real cars, NOT demo hoods. And you certainly won't be standing in a circle watching me do a demo, that's not how we conduct our classes because that's not how you learn.
