Another stellar group of people that were a real pleasure to have here at Meguiar's Garage!

Ron let us use his Alpha Romeo for our demo car...

Thanks everyone for making this a real fun class!

Definitely learned a lot Mike! I felt embarrassed when I forgot to put the cord over my shoulder haha. Guess anyone has their day...even if they own a PC!

You really did tempt me to buy the G110 though. The smoothness and effectiveness of how the machine operated made me want to sell my PC. The rubber coating made it heavier, but it quelled all the faults of the PC very well (like the vibration at speed 5/6). If I decide to stick with the PC in the future for my details and it breaks, the G110 will be my replacement

Thanks for a great session, I shall be back for the Advanced Class sometime as well as the Club Lexus session

Mike
Thanks for the great class, You are an outstanding instrutor.

You shared your knowledge with us and provided us with the skills and tools that will allow us use the Mequiar's products as they were intended. The right product for the right job.

Even though I had previously attended, back in 2006, I did learn something new and feel that it was worth the time I spent at Mequiar's.

The use of the Mequiar's OnLine as an aid was cool and provided us with additional resources for future reference.

Again, thanks to you and Mequiar's for providing this opportunity to your customers.

Hey Mike!

Thanks for the great class and thank you to Meguiar's for providing consumers with an opportunity to learn more about their products than just reading a label. The trip from Northern California was certainly worth our drive. My wife and I had a good time. Mike, your presentation was informative, entertaining, and fattening! The donuts and pizza were great. I don't know of any company who offers all that you do to encourage customer loyalty even though the Meguiar's products speak for themselves by delivering results that make a car owner proud to drive down the road.

Thanks again. We look forward to taking the advanced class in the future.

Sincerely,

David and Diane

Thanks Mike for such an informative class on the steps to properly detail a vehicle. I am ordering a DA polisher, pads and product now that I have had hands-on training from an expert! I will also now be reading a lot of forum comments/information tips.

Mike great class and good seeing you again. Always good to freshen up skills and learn new things, all of which i did on Saturday. I have been to many seminars and classes, and this by far had the most usefull content and balance of product knowledge and hands on (and this one was free). Meguiars continues to be such a class act in the Automotive Reconditioning Industry and supporting us "Car Crazy" guys and gals, Thanks Barry for all you do. Im looking forward to the advanced class and hanging out on a Thursday night Garage.
Thanks, John

Thanks for the kind words John and everyone else, Barry and everyone here at Meguiar's do a great job of supporting the industry and a part of that is this forum and our Thursday and Saturday classes.

We did a forum upgrade this morning and the pictures we uploaded Saturday after the class are not showing up after the upgrade. We're working on a fix but if it doesn't work then we'll upload and insert the pictures over again.

Mike what can I say everybody beat me to it. I can tell why Barry hired you, Car Crazy you are. The class was great but it makes me sad all the things I thought I knew about making my paint look good went out the window. You can teach an old dog new tricks or in this case and old hot rodder. I will be ordering a DA , pads and product this week. Oh by the way I was at the Edelbrock show yesterday the Meguiar"s semi was there. I bought some NXT Tech Wax and Hot Rims Chrome Polish ,they had a special on the DA buffer and lots of product I would have bought it had I not gone to your class because in the deal included products I would never had used also in the goody bag was a bottle of Quik Detailer. Thanks Mike for making learning so much fun

Mike, this was a great class! I learned so much about paint, and I now know how to properly take care of my car. You didn't get me to start buying Meguiar's products, as I have been a loyal customer. What you got was a more educated consumer. Thank you so much! Gonna have my friends sign up soon!

Thanks for the great class Mike! I've been gloating to my coworkers all the stuff I learned and am going to get me a DA polisher now. I've never detailed my car before, so your class was extremely informative and intense. I was trying to write down notes as fast as I could. HAHA. I've always been a huge fan of Meguiar products and am now an even bigger fan now that I know how to properly use the products.
