I was able to attend Mike’s detailing 101 class on Saturday Jan. 30 and I learned a lot. Mike is a wealth of knowledge, but I also learned a lot from some of those attending the class.
I have 5 vehicles that I want to kick up a notch.. a 66 Chevelle
After the class I placed my order with ADS for all the product I need to start and the G110 v2 DA.
I could start with my wife’s Beamer, but if I screw that up I will be sleeping in the garage… So I am starting on my 98 Chevy. A good vehicle to learn on and it certainly needs the attention. I bought it new in 98, it has 148,000 miles and has lived outside in the dessert sun all its life.
I took a few pictures after I washed it. I applied only one thing I learned from class. Four glugs of Gold Class Car Wash shampoo in a bucket of water is too much. I used 1 oz per gallon and I had lots of suds.
I did use my two bucket method, one bucket for the wheels and the other for the body. Mike I promise once I have clay bared the truck; it will be your 2 bucket method from then on.
And after Ultimate Protectant

Wheels After Hot Rims and Hot Shine
In case you are wondering.. it was 72 degrees here and slightly overcast. A great day to work on the car and I did not need to worry about the water freezing before I dried the truck.
I was happy with the results I got in an hours work.
This weekend I will start with clay bar and Ultimate compound. Just a small area, to see how it turns out.
