Looking for Rotary help in SoCal (San Diego)

I have a Makita Rotary and looking for an experienced detailer that wouldn't mind me shadowing them on a couple details. Looking for helpful tips and tricks. Mainly swirl, light scratch and hologram removals. Email me if this can be done!

ktorres1120@yahoo.com

I'm trying to get to the next Chemical Guys machine polishing seminar but they haven't scheduled a new one.

I'll give you a hint about the teacher of those classes. He doesn't teach them anymore. Trust me, I know.

Re: Looking for Rotary help in SoCal (San Diego)

What? They just had a seminar on August 2nd I think. What happened? Are you interested in doing some on-the-side training for extra cash?? I was looking forward to driving up there and learning some stuff.

Check out a Meguiar's open garage night. They are on Thursday and you can sign up on their forums.

I learned a few things from Mike Phillips back in the day. You can go that route or you can PM me and we can work something out.

Cool Re: Looking for Rotary help in SoCal (San Diego)

The Meg’s sessions are always fun and worthwhile, definitely a good idea.

But it sounds like you’re wanting some serious one-on-one hours with a personal coach. So if you can set it up, definitely link up with SpoiledMan. He’ll school you right.


PC.

Re: Looking for Rotary help in SoCal (San Diego)

I am scheduled for the advanced class at Meg's near the end of this month, and after that I too would love to see about learning by example from someone here with the rotary.

Maybe we can arrange a two-fer?

Where in So Cal are you Spoiled Man? I'm in SD...
