    Plus of course hands-on training and lots of fun!

    For example, learning how to use the G100 Dual Action Polisher like members from the SoCalEvo club learned this last Saturday here at Meguiar's!

    SoCalEvo at Meguiar's!!

    There was a lot of interest in learning how to use the G100 Dual Action polisher and the best way to learn how to use any tools is with hands-on training from experienced Instructors!

    Hi Joe,

    Cool!

    This is going to be a fun class! I'll be flying in a day early to get everything set up for Saturday and we promise everyone that attends will not only learn a lot, but they'll have fun too!

    Make sure you call Customer Care starting tomorrow to process the registration fee.

    1-800-347-5700

    Remember, this $30.00 fee is actually a Product Credit and can be used to purchase product after the class.

    There's been a lot of requests from people living in Florida for Meguiar's to conduct one of our detailing classes in this state. Meguiar's has committed to myself 2500 miles to conduct this class but we need a minimum of 30 registered people to make this a success.


    I'll be sending out a new newsletter this week to announce it this upcoming class, but please feel encouraged to spread the word to your car buddies...


    One of the most popular topics at the Meguiar's RoadShow Detailing Class in Texas was the tips, techniques and hands-on training we provided for everyone interested in learning how to use the G-100 Dual Action Polisher correctly to remove swirls and restore a show car finish.


    The below excerpt is taken from the Dallas RoadShow Class posted here,

    Learning Professional Tips & Techniques for Removing Swirls using the G100 Dual Action Polisher in Dallas, Texas!

    (Begin excerpt)

    We actually followed the steps outlined in this how-to article, skipping the M83 step and starting right in at the M80 step.

    Using the G-100 to remove swirls with the Professional Line

    First we went over the basics, such as,

    • * Ergonomic stance - so that you don't hurt your back
      * Location of the on/off switch and how important it is to not turn on the machine until the face of the pad is in direct contact with the finish and likewise to never lift the face of the pad off the finish until first turning the machine off.
      * Keeping the cord from dragging over the finish by placing it over your shoulder.
      * Pad choice.
      * Product choice.
      * Speed setting options.
      * Product placement on the face of the pad.
      * Amount of product to use initially.
      * Amount of product to use after the pad has been broken in.
      * Determining how large of an area to work at one time.
      * Spreading the product out before working it in.
      * Arm Speed - Slowing down for good results during the cleaning step.
      * Downward pressure.
      * Path of travel and changing directions.
      * Overlapping passes.
      * Overlapping section.
      * How long to buff one section.
      * Re-polishing a section before moving on.
      * Speed setting for applying a wax.
      * Pad selection for applying a wax.
      * Pressure and Arm Speed for applying a wax.
      * Using the Swipe Test.
      * Removing wax using a Microfiber polishing bonnet.
      * Pressure and Speed Setting for removing wax.
      * Cleaning a bonnet on-the-fly.
      * Cleaning foam pads after use and on-the-fly.
    And probably a few other things I've left out )



    After recapping how to use the G100 Dual Action Polisher and then demonstrating the techniques for using it, we then asked for a volunteer from the audience to show all the big, strong Texas guys how to work magic on paint





    After a few moments on her own, we then gave a little hands-on training to help keep the focus on holding the pad flat, downward pressure, arm speed and path-of-travel.




    In a few more moments she was polishing like a Pro!






    (End of excerpt)


    Experienced instruction will dramatically reduce the learning curve associated with learning a new procedure or how to use a specific tool like the G100, as well as helping you to avoid making mistakes at the "School of Hard Knocks. You'll also obtain the knowledge, skills and experience to tackle any job that comes your way with confidence!
