Win a Copy of Mike Phillips' Book - The Art of Detailing!

I want to win in order to learn more about the art of detailing and to learn what I can from a master!
 
I've just caught the detailing bug. I'm a novice and every little bit of information helps, and learning from one of the best never hurts.
 
Ever since starting school when I was young, I loved arts and crafts. Then in high school I loved my art class. Every time I created an art piece, it was a wow factor. That's what i want to do with every car I detail, and with Mike's book and help I'm sure to capture the wow in every car I detail by creating a beautiful art piece out of a dull canvas.
 
count me in!

either way, i know i'll be full of questions when I meet with everyone in a couple weeks. getting a grasp on what is needed and being able to properly correct issues is an on-going process. a few trips to detail fest should cure that.

Mr. Mike Phillips:

A Modern Day....Guild Grand Master Craftsman

Why do I make this statement?

Ever since I learned of the existence of the Guilds of Olden Days, I became interested in what exactly were Guilds. I also wanted to know: Who belonged to Guilds? Simple answer...craftsman.
[I thought: Perhaps a good way to make a living....learning a craft/trade.]

Even though some things have changed over the centuries...

...A person that was interested in learning a craft (trade) would become an apprentice, then a journeyman, a master, and finally a grandmaster...an individual that was experienced and a confirmed expert in their field of handicraft. From this position, election/appointment to be a committee member of their particular Guild.

Mr. Phillips, IMHO, has followed these guidelines to become, and indeed is : A most experienced, and a confirmed expert in his field of expertise...."the artistry of detailing"..therefore the above stated Guild Grand Master Craftsman comparison.

Not lost in all of this, also from the 'days of olde', should be the recognition of Mr. Phillips' choice of practicing "modern-day chivalry"!

To Wit:

He's always a gentleman; is courteous, honorable; has the readiness to help others; always has the aura of good conduct (business or personal) surrounding him; and, he just seems to do the right things, for the right reasons, at the right times. A master craftsman at work!



I have completed several treks down the journeyman path. One that I, along with many others that frequent car care forums, have entered into is the field of: "The Art of Detailing"...with aspirations of also becoming a journeyman/master 'detailing artisan', (as is Mr. Phillips), and therefore becoming members of the: 'Artisans of the Detailing Guild'.


Following the guidelines as outlined in this book-form offering from Mr. Phillips' "The Art of Detailing" would be a good way to start/continue ones' detailing journey.


But to have it available, first-hand, would be considered, by me, most excellent, though.

I would really like to have a book like this in my library. Mike Philip's knowledge and experience have really impressed me, and because I am a perfectionist, I would really like one of these books. I am always striving to improve my detailing.
 
I want to learn from the best and also be able to reference info when I need to.
 
I would like to add something to my conversation when I am asked "How do you know all this stuff?" Like having a degree/reference book to fall back on should there be a question.
 
I believe you can never stop learning. And I know there's a ton of information I could benefit from!
 
This book will be the go to book for years to come. Having it at hands reach will aways keep the art of detailing at my disposal.

I want this book because detailing is a new hobby that cheers me up when i'm down, helps me expand my knowledge and get closer to my father. I want this book because it helps me push forward through my O.C.D that I have( the real mental illness) been unable to work through, to do something great. I want this book because it's a way to do something nice for somebody just to see the smile on the owner's face. I want it because Detailing is becoming a lifestyle to me. Help me be great autogeek, and give me this book!
 
I would love a copy of this book, always wanting to learn more about detailing. What way to learn or adapt new skills? This book! :). I believe with this book and the 101/102 classes you'll be offering (which I'll be taking), I may finally take my skills to the next level!
 
A reason why I would like this book is so that I am armed with the knowledge of right and wrong from one of the nation's best auto detailers.
 
for most of us, Car detailing is one of the few "modifications" that will actually increase the resale value of our cars.
Mike's book is an investment in knowledge that will help anyone, from novices and casual users to expert detailers, an arsenal of know-how to restore and maintain cars looking their best for the longest time.
 
It is written by and about Mike Phillips *Master Craftsman*. A person interested in Detailing would be an idiot if they did not want this book at their disposal. I, am not an idiot. Please enter me for a chance to win. Thanks.
 
I would like to win a book because I feel that I am still a novice detailer and it would be great to have the definitive book on detailing at my side.
 
I would like to win a copy cause I am fairly new at the art of detailing and would love to have this handy if any questions ever came up and needed a quick answer.
 
It would be a great honor to get the opportunity to learn from the best! :D
