I spent the last two days setting up the class. Below are pictures of pretty much everything the guys in the class are going to use and gets lots of hand-on training time.

Oh yeah....

We'll go through everthing on the tables... these classes are jam-packed with tips and techniques not even listed in the course description because as we work through ll the procedures and tools that go with them I share tips and technique that are appropriate to the topic.

Here's the course description...

Advanced Wetsanding & Polishing Classes - February 23rd & 24th - Limited to 8 people


And you can click this thread and read through it and see what the people that attended my last class have to say, kind of like a real-world Angie's List of recommendations...

And this recent first-hand testimony from a guy that took my class...

Detailing Bootcamp Success Story!


Have to go, time to set up for the Cadillac an how to do high quality production detailer to maximize profits.

The boot camp class is truly an amazing experience. I would suggest to anyone that can take it do so, the material covered along with the tips and techniques is remarkable. This is the first polishing class and if it is anything like the boot camp class you guys will be in for 2 days of jammed pack fun and learning. Mike is a great instructor that pours his heart and soul into any car from a Fiat to a 57 Chevy. Glad I took the boot camp class and definitely will be taking the art of polishing class paint in the future.

We're at lunch break, the guys are chowing down on pizza and cold Coke and Mountain Dew.

We covered a lot of territory so far including, foam guns, Nanoskin Wash Mitts, Tornadors, Iron X, Metro Master Blaster, Sidekick, 303 Products. Then onto Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads, Pinnacle Detailing Clay, DeFelsko Paint Thickness Gage, VIF Form, Flex 3401's with XMT 360, GPS and Meguiar's D151. We've also covered the Meguiar's Microfiber Pad DA Correction System and a ton of other tips and techniques that go with all of the above.

We've done all of this on the 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood which started out a swirled-out mess and now it looks like it has a brand new paint job.

After lunch will be moving onto how to chemically strip paint and apply three different types of coatings.

After the coatings session we'll be moving the Cadillac out of the garage and moving the 1959 Impala into the garage and start in on using the Rupes Polishers and polishing system.

This is awesome Mike.

You offer several different types of classes it seems. Thursday night stuff, beginner, advanced, boot camps, 1 day, two days, 3 days, wet sanding classes. Are these all different types of classes?
 
That is damn sweet. I would go to this class just for more hands on with different tools etc.
 
Day 1 of the class is over and we'll be picking up where we left off yesterday on machine polishing the 1959 Impala...

Here's Dan working the Flex 3401 Forced Rotation Dual Action Polisher...

Next up will be using the rotary buffer on this classic 59 Impala and after that we're moving onto the 1964 Malibu...

Just wrapped up this full blown class on the art of polishing paint.

Have a lot of fun pictures to share and there are three cars here that came in looking pretty rough and they're all leaving here with a show car finish...


Time to close down the show car garage...


:)
 
Any scraps left for the extreme makeover on Thursday night to finish up?
