Re: Mike Phillips' New Opportunity...
He's just spreading his wings and all the new toys and products he gets to play with!
I bet he wears out a keyboard or two in the next year or so!
Great thing is he brought a lot of Meguiar's products to the AG store and they have price match!Philippians 2:14 - Do all things without grumbling or questioning,Comment

Re: Mike Phillips' New Opportunity...
It was a (typically) great write up. I loved it especially because it gave me some tips for my own car, as to the products... I think it was pretty clear that he didn't like the Pinnacle polishes as much as what Megs has to offer.Originally posted by Megafast13 View PostHe used NO Meguiars Products except APC+
I also think that this post was a lot different than his first few, because he needs to get to know the Autogeek product lineup and the best way to do so, is through use.
The skeptical part of me knows that the markup on the pinnacle products and many other "boutique" type brands is a lot higher, so the impetus to sell them over Meguiars is pretty high.
Take something like NXT 2.0 vs. WG Fuzion. I know they are different, but you can find NXT for 12 bucks and Fuzion for $175. I'd bet the mark up on Fuzion is a "tad" higher than NXT.
For me, the most interesting thing about the "Mike at Autogeek" mix is the autogeek stance on "product for a particular color", something which Mike has long rejected. He (in the past) said that if a product looks good on black, it will look good on anything. That is why Meg's uses black cars to showcase their products.
However, on AG, many of their "experts" will say things like "Souveran for silver" and WG DGPS 3.0 for red (two fictional examples). I wonder how that type of advice will cut, if asked to Mike directly.----------------------------------

Re: Mike Phillips' New Opportunity...
I'll stick to the same thing I've been posting to the Internet since 1994, before forum even existed and that'sOriginally posted by 3Fitty View Post
"Find something YOU like and use it often"
Seriously, everyone sees things differently and the last thing you ever want to do is try to change someone's mind, especially when it comes to choice of wax or paint sealant.
I learned a long time ago the fastest way to get into a flame war on the Internet is to bring up one of the below topics,
- Politics
- Religion
- Car Wax
My next write up is in the Autogeek Garage right now, it's a black Lincoln with moderate swirls and I'm going to showcase Meguiar's product. So there's always going to balance. My first class will be on using the Meguiar's line of products, so there's going to be balance in the classes to.
One aspect of my job is to show people how to get great results with the products they already have in their garage. Autogeek has a strong customer base that has been buying products including Meguiar's for years now, but that doesn't mean they know exactly how to maximize the performance of everything they already own, so my job is more than just highlighting products to people new to detailing their car it's just as important to show an established customer base how to use what they've already purchased whether that was 1 week ago or 1 year ago.
I hope over the years that I've shown myself to keep the focus on the performance of the products and that will be the continued focus. Besides that I'm also going to keep things positive. While others are arguing over whatever it is they have the time to argue about, I'm going to move forward with a new project just like we did over here on the forum and in the Meguiar's Garage. As we get the classes fired up expect to start seeing extreme makeovers and other projects that will keep the focus on showing others how to get great results in their own garage with the products they already have and should they be lacking in anything then Autogeek is a reputable online supplier ready to help out by supplying products and via job... customer service, which is sharing with enthusiasts how to use them correctly for best results.

Re: Mike Phillips' New Opportunity...
Did my test spots on the read trunk lid, dialed-in a successful system and will now duplicate on the hood tomorrow.Originally posted by Megafast13 View PostCan't wait to see another write up...That is if your hands are still intact!
Will do half the hood by hand and time myself and then half the hood using the G100 and time myself to give people a good idea as to the difference in both speed and results when working by hand or machine.
