My Paint Correction Class Pictures and Write up!!!

**Got_Leather** · 10-27-2009, 11:20 PM

First of all, thanks to Eric (Howareb) for helping me out with the class and allowing the use of his BEAUTIFUL shop. We had a great turnout and everyone was able to get hands on and learn a few things. We had some great food and got to meet some great people. Thanks to everyone who attended.

Secondly, I would like to thanks the sponsors of the class who sent out supplies for us to play with during the demonstrations and then at the end of the class, I raffled the supplies off to make sure no one left empty handed. Without our sponsors, this is not possible. So I truly mean it, THANK YOU!!!

The sponsors are as followed.

Megan @ AutoGeek

George @ Detailedimage

Phil @ Detailersdomain

Kevin @ Kleen Car

DaveB @ High Definition

The table of supplies from the sponsors

Note: The clock in the backround, it's nearly 4am and Eric and I were still up from 8am the previous morning. We cleaned the shop, got everything set up and ready for the class that was taking place in 7 hours. With some music jammin, and jokes that weren't funny (although when your that tired, they are hilarious) the time went by and I would do it again if I could.

The set up area for the class

A closeup of supplies and tools to be used. (The cintas box for safety. Safety first!)

One of our guest, Tom agreed to use his car for the test vehicle. Thanks again buddy!! Before we got started Eric and I were taking turns giving classroom style instructions on proper techniques and products. Then we took a short break, had lunch then got to work.

We gave Tom, the car owner the first crack at machine polishing.

cool stuff. Can you make a video on how to use a buffer at high speed? I'm using the same setup as you but I'm scared to turn up the speed.

Yea I'll make a video this weekend on a 91 M5 with neglected paint.
