We would like to thank everyone from coming out to our class on June 2, 2012. We had folks relatively local to us as well as DaytonaJae making it out from Florida! The class was a success because of all who attended. I have to say that Dave, Dan, and myself included were extremely impressed by the work everyone put out. (we would hire if you guys were available ; ) ) The Audi A4 provided by Town Motors Audi has never looked so good (per Matt from Audi) He was blown away by the results. Thanks Matt for providing us with a vehicle to work our magic on. Okay so on to the photos. An early start to the day, Dan preps the car for the class After breakfast (bagels/donuts/coffee/juice) we moved into the detail bay - class in session Checking out the equipment (Flex XC3401, Flex PE14-2-150, Festool Rap150, PC 7424XP, and Griots 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher) as well as the compounds and polishes (Menzerna SF4000, Menzerna PF2500, Sonax Nano Polish and Fine Abrasive Polish and Meg's D300, Meg's M105, Meg's M205) Moving on to the test panels Various conditions were looked at - sand scratch marks, swirls marks, marring etc. The Griots and MF Cutting Pads with D300 and M105 (me in the background answering emails LOL) Uber Green Pad and Sonax to finish it up Ribbons After Now the class gets in on the action Lunch from the local gourmet deli Some shots of the Audi David on the Festool Jim on the fender Derrick working with the Flex XC3401 Dan giving some tips to David Mike reloading the pad More defects on the Audi to take care of Here's Jae working to correct the door and giving the Fenix a test drive Wow Jae you did great and I believe this was just with the compounds More issues to tackle on the Audi, waterspots, swirls, light scratches and more WOW check out the after shot (again done with just M105 and D300) Action shots We tested out some of the old and new last steps - Victoria Wax Red, Menzerna Power Lock, Opti Coat, as well as Wolf's Body Wrap Checking out the final product in the SUN! Happy faces all around Final shot of the class (less Dan he was taking the pic)
After using the racatac creeper, I have got to get me one of those on my next paycheck. It is the most comfortable thing for detailing side panels I have ever tried. The head worn Fenix light is more useful than I thought it would. Although it is less powerful than the other Fenix lights or halogens, it is enough to illuminate imperfections around and in the path of the pad, making it pretty easy to see where you missed or how the area is progressing without stopping. You sort of look like a coal miner (only with a polisher and a car), but I can live with that. The Audi turned out great and looked even better in the sun. Everyone did an awesome job.
Who's Jamie?! LOL! I'm Jim As I said in the other thread..this was a great class and I had a lot of fun. Thanks so much Guys!
Phil and "The J" running it.......................... I guess the world does run on Dunkin Donuts lol.
Wow that lools awesome. Couple pf questions where can that headband led light be purchased and who makes them? Btw nice detail shirts lol. I gotta get one.
it looks like the fenix hp11 and Phil sells them :thumb: http://www.detailersdomain.com/Fenix-HP11-_p_596.html
This was a truly great experience. Not only was the hands on time fun and educational, but the expertise and guidance that Dave, Phil and Dan gave us was invaluable. These guys broke down the "science" of professional paint correction based on their many years of experience. Im sure that the tips and tricks that I learned will lead to spectacular results on my future details. Also, I got a chance to try out many detailing tools and products BEFORE I bought them and then realized that I didn't like them. That alone was worth the price. Phil's warehouse is amazing by the way! It's like a candy store for car nuts like us. Keep up the great work guys!
