Default Tech session

I started an advance detailing seminar at my shop this year where people come and learn how to wet sand, clay bar, and power buff paint. here are some pics of the last class I had. I keep the class to a 2 person minimum, and 4 person maximum, that way all who attend get enough "hands on" time. From what these guys told me they loved the opportunity, now they have a better understanding of how different techniques work for doing serious paint correction. I love this stuff. gary

What can be done to reduce the unsightly results of years of driving through kicked up sand, gravel, rock chips, etc...??? My PTs front bumper looks like it has the case of white measles. I have a black car with what actually looks like small spots of white paint all over it.

I bring in one of my sons cars, or sometimes the customer wants to bring inone, for those rock chip[s, if it gets too bad, you should repaint. Gary

for a real quick fix for car shows and the like, black lipstick. find one that closest matches your paint and just gently fill in the nicks.
