He didn't have 1, BUT 3 top detailers to learn from today.
I really wish I was that lucky when I started out.  We had a beautiful place to hang out today: howareb's new shop, Mint Detailing  On his first ever detail with a high speed rotary, he went from this:
Process:
qd wipe down
105 PFW 1500rpm - few passes
105 black ccs pad 1500 rpm
106ff red ccs pad 1500rpm
Victoria Wax
OCW (Got Leather)  To This!!!  Stay tuned for the rest of the story (tomorrow)

All that I can say is that those bratworst made it all worth while. Boy WHERE they good. (whoops I meant WERE). 
Cleaning Fool looked like a pro today. You would have never known that it was his first time on a rotary. | |

It was great to meet the guys. I did sorta kinda mention I wanted to learn the rotary. Before I knew it Thomas drove his car in and I had a Makita in my hand..On his car nonetheless!!!YIKES!....Heres kinda how it went..I'm buffing along first time with a Rotary, Thomas the coach: "Your going to fast"....."The cord is touching the car"....."Your knee is touching the car."........"Your belly is touching the car."......"No fingers on the car."......"I can still see a swirl."...."Thats not the Autopian way."..."Cant leave caked up polish un the car." "Never set the rotary down like that."..."Your *** is touching the car"...."No, not that towel."...."Never leave a donut on the customers car"..."You mis-spelled that word"(some will get that, some won't)..."To much polish"...."Its spelled Meguiars, not Migwyers."...."You missed the corner"......  ..It was a great learning experience, Thomas is a great teacher, how many guys would teach you the rotary on there own car? And to DJ-(Got Leather-Mr Optiseal/Optimum Car Wax) for all his super advice and Eric for being such a good host (Howareb).Great time!......

Awesome work! I've always been scared of high-speed buffers but with the proper training its way better than the PC i'm used to.
Also, bump for locals!
