Re: Saturday Class

Hello Mike,

Thoroughly enjoyed today's class you kept the class interesting with knowledge & humor. From what I saw & learned today, you've made a customer, for life. Barry should give you a pay raise, for the quality job you do! I was the guy with the red 'Honda Fit.' Now excuse me while I go practice, what I learned.

Take Care Amigo

Mike,

Awesome class today! I actually had fun while learning. Before I took this class I was still debating on whether or not to open up a mobile detailing business. After learning how to correctly buff a car using the DA buffer, I am more confident in the detailing business. That was my weakest link in the business.

I actually called the 800 number to purchase the DA buffer, pads, and the 80 glaze after witnessing the transformation you made on the Mazda today; however, I called during non business hours. Anyways, hope to attend another entertaining class soon.

It's hard to believe, but yes, this is a 50/50 shot of the corrected and uncorrected paint.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR A BRISK PACED, EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND VERY WELL ORGANIZED CLASS. IT TAKES A RARE INDIVIDUAL TO CONTROL ALMOST 40 INQUISITORS OF VARIOUS BACKGROUNDS WITH THEIR UNDERSTANDING ON AUTO FINISHES.
JOB WELL DONE.

Mike, Thanks again for the class. I always pick up something new about detailing my cars. I didn't make the lottery for the August advanced class. Maybe next time. Steve

Mike, the Saturday class was outstanding!. Here is just some things I learned. How and what to look for on a painted finish. How to test what product & technique to use. How to use the products correctly. Getting a show winning result is easier than I expected. Where to go for help. Thanks for the head knowledge, that you stressed, and the hands on experiences. They gave me the confidence to be able to get a show car finish on my cars.

PS
Barry, you must already know how important these classes are.

Mike,

Another terrific class. I have taken 101 before and left with new knowledge each time. This time was no different.

I have owned a DA for some time and was pleasantly surprised at the power of the new model. Looks like I will have two soon.

Thanks,
Ed

Mike,
Thank you for the head knowledge at the saturday class and i'll take it with a grain of salt. I believe a car is an extension of your personality, so you must always take care of things. I know that there is still alot more information out there that i can learn so i'll just be patiently waiting. I'm looking to the advanced class if and when i get chosen. Thanks again...
