Thank you Mike Phillips

Thanks Mike for all the knowledge you have passed on to us over the years. Good luck to you.
I wished I could have made it to a boot camp though.
Best of luck in the future.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mike goes to McKees or does something to break-out into a new trend. He is a trailblazer for sure. Time will tell. I just read that McKees is going to be consuming some warehouse space in the AGO warehouse; which means PBMG is shrinking "something". Whatever he does, I wish him well!!!

Bob McKee said he didn’t renew the lease with Autogeek so they will be moving out. Big changes happening at AG.
 
Mike, thanks for everything. You are one-of-a-kind and will be missed more than you know. There’s no way to explain how much I’ve learned and enjoyed from this hobby since the moment I started reading from your articles/tutorials/forum posts. It’s a sad day but I sincerely wish you the best going forward. You’re a good guy.

Mike, Thanks.

You're leaving some BIG shoes to fill.

Good luck in your next endeavor.

Wow, this is really tough news. Every Saturday night when my wife and son go to bed, im on youtube watching Mike and Yancy. I cant even begin to expand on the knowledge Mike has given me and I sincerely appreciate it. Mike was the one finally convinced me to put down my 25 year old rotary and step up my game, and was always available here on the forums or PMs for questions.
Thank you Mike, I know youre going to be successfull wherever you go and I look forward to seeing it.
 
Well, this is interesting....

Mike has/will be the person whose material I've always gone to when learning new skills and techniques in detailing. It was his YouTube videos on machine polishing that got started in this insanity. I had the pleasure to meet him and work with him on the set of a Competition Ready episode. Nice guy and great to be around.

Mike: Wish you all the best in whatever you have lined up next. Hopefully it will be some place visible enough for us all to continue to interact and learn from what you have to offer.
 
Mike thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge.
I wish you and your family the best of luck in your new endeavors,
God bless.

Jim
 
While I have never personally met Mike, I feel like I have through his countless articles and passion for making the "average joe" a detailing warrior. Best wishes, Mike!
 
Well dang...hope this was Mike's decision and not AG's.

Thank you for all you have done over the years on TV and on the forum. Wishing you the best for your next adventure, Mike!

I don't envy anyone trying to fill those shoes...

While there are certainly others out there with the technical detailing skills on par with Mike, there are not many who possess those skills that are also willing and able to communicate those skills with the same efficacy as Mike. Mike is selfless in sharing his knowledge and has the "teaching" and "technology" skills to do it effectively. That's a rare combination not easy to replicate.

Going forward, I have to wonder what direction this forum will take, sans Mike. My hope is that it remains as relevant as it is under Mike's leadership today.

So yeah, there's some big shoes waiting.
 
Mike,

I join your thousands of other fans in thanking you for all of your help, expertise and guidance over the years. You have been the Ultimate Authority for many of us on techniques, new products, and every other aspect of auto detailing. Those of us who are not professionals, but merely take care of our own cars, are especially grateful for your instructions, which have always been clear and understandable to the amateur.

Godspeed on your next journey in life.

Kinda sudden and since he didn't even come here to say bye to us, maybe it wasn't as amicable as we'd expect. Like you, I also hope he left because he found a path of growth and chose to depart.

Same, after some labor insecurities recently, I was finally ready to send someone to his September class.

Best of luck in your future endeavors, Mike, you will be greatly missed.
 
Wow. Thank you, Mike!

Please give us an update at some point.

Mike is the reason I’m on AG.
 
It was quite a surprise and disappointment to hear this news. Mike's videos, posts and articles are what made me take my detailing more seriously and up my game. Thank you Mike for the insight and inspiration. I know that you will do well in your future endeavors.
 
Well dang, just am seeing this as well.

Good luck Mike. Definitely will be different without you.
 
99% of what I have learned has come from Mike Phillips and Yvan Lacroix. Thanks guys.
 
Well this definitely blows. And seeing that McKee is moving back to the original building I'm really wondering if he is going to work with them.

Robert McKee Enterprises, Inc. (RME) is growing again!

In the five short years since Robert McKee Enterprises, Inc. (RME) was created it has been rapidly growing. Starting with just 2,100 sf at 7744 Jack James Drive address in Stuart (the Autogeek building) to building a state of the art 8,000 sf free standing building for our headquarters and the foreseeable future. As things would have it, our growth has us once again requiring more space. We have seen tremendous growth in all our brands: McKee’s 37, SiO2 Ceramic Series, Carini Collection, Nautical One, Max’s RV and Carolina Home and Patio. We will be moving back to where it all started, across the street into the 7744 Jack James Drive in Stuart (the Autogeek building) that RME also owns. Of the 35,000-sf occupied by its current tenant, we are proud to announce that we are more than doubling our space to 17,000 sf!!!!!!!!! The rest of the space has been rented and some space has been sold. A complete upgrade is planned to be done to the space including replacing all 12 air conditioners, all overhead lighting with LED lighting, new fixtures in the bathrooms, upgrade all offices and adding a large retail store front.

We will be starting “Cars and Coffee with a Twist”, beginning Saturday December 4th from 8:00 am to 10:30 am and to repeat the first Saturday of the month. Cars and Coffee with a Twist will include fresh brewed coffee on the premises, donuts, monthly tent sale, factory tours, cool cars, tech tips with Nick Rutter and guests in the Trademark Garage, a $100.00 prize pack (winner’s choice) and of course partner and friend Wayne Carini. There will be room for 100 to 120 cars on the concrete.

RME will also have an yearly Open House in February. The Open House will include Vendors, Food Trucks, Demo’s, Factory Tours, Tent sale, entertainment, Car Show, Professional Detailers, celebrities and it will be all FREE to the public.

RME thanks you for your support!!!

Nick, Ron, JoAnn, Wayne, Bob, and the rest of our team.
