Saturday's Detailing Class Suggestion.
First of all, I forgot to write this on my comments/ evaluation sheet at the end of the last Saturday class.
In general, the Saturday's classes are excellent in both information content and organization.
The few times I attended, I noticed that sometimes it’s a bit harder to pick a vehicle to do the afternoon demos. Some car clubs members are so car crazy that almost all the cars are in perfect condition. There are times that there were no dark colors or black cars available. There are times that the "perfect" car is available but the owner has neglected to wash before coming to the class. For example, there was a Toyota MR2 in last week class, but because of time constraint we couldn't wash it. Besides, it’s a "no no" per City of Irvine if I remember.
So, here is my suggestion just in case if this happens. Why we don't we have a really neglected spare black hood with all the normal swirls, bird dropping and water etches available? Of course the hood has to be already washed before the demo. This may not be as glamorous as using a member's car but at least will show to all the students all the techniques.
I believe that it would be easy to neglect the hood after the demo by washing it with the wrong techniques, leave it out in the environment near a tree and sprinklers, let it bake under the sun without any protection, etc.
Another benefit that I can see to have a "demo hood" is that the instructor (either Mike or someone from Meguiar's that is teaching the class) can show the students how to identify the different (maybe not all, but the most common) types of paint defects.
I am pretty sure that a member from MOL has or knows someone that have a spare black hood laying around and willing to donate it. Of course, if is not wrecked the better, a small ding should be fine.
If this is ok for Meguiar's to go ahead for those “just in case" situations, I will see if I can find one from a local junk yard. Anyways, that is my suggestion. Comments? Yays, Nays?
