Twin Cities SVT Detail Day Demonstration - PICS!

[imported_GregCavi]

I was contacted a few months back about doing a detailing day for a local SVT club. Rick, the gentlemen who contacted me obviously had a passion for detailing, and wanted to share this with his club members. The day was a great success and was very enjoyable.



Goals: Teach how to use the porter cable buffer and stress prep over LSP (last step product.)

Result: Although the porter cable does have its limitations, I would say we removed a good 90% of the scratches on this paint and eliminated the swirls. The group was fantastic and learned that all of the prep work (polishing) made for the best overall end appearance.





Upon arrival, I set up my gear and washed the car. Several members helped dry the car. Thanks guys and girls!

We started with a power point presentation covering a full exterior detail.



-Wash

-Clay

-Polish

-Protect

-Maintain

After the presentation, we split up and performed each step on the lucky detail winner’s vehicle. (Mach 1 mustang).

She learned how to use the pc because she has 2 black cars. She did a fantastic job. And she was FAR from elderly!

Great Job Greg! You even let them try the top notch products also and even the cs that is not even on the market yet. SVT is a great team and I would also help them out too. I use to own a mustang and I know they are all great people.

I should start teaching classes around my area!

So you did a Mach1 at a SVT club detail shop?lol



At any rate, that workshop was really cool. I wish we had those around here. The car also turned out really great. :xyxthumbs

Damn it I would've came if I knew about it. I'm looking to do my black evo in the spring and this would've helped me out by learning before trying.
