Hey, peeps!!! I've learned a lot looking through this section with the exception of using a buffer machine, which is why I wanna take this course. I plan on keeping my car till the wheels fall off, so I really want to be able to care for it.

I stopped by the Chemical Guys facility yesterday to buy a couple stuff and noticed they offer detailing classes, taught by Mel Craig. Have any of you guys ever taken this course, is worth my time? I figured I'd take the basic course and have a professional teach me hands on. The course is five hours and it includes breakfast for 49 bux!

If you guys know of a better place to learn in the Los Angeles area, please feel free to clue me in!

You can find more info here http://www.chemicalguys.com/AUTO_DET...NEWS_s/139.htm

For $49, I'd take it without the breakfast. No hesitation.

Wish they had something like this in NYC.

I have to believe someone has said this before but can you change your font to the normal black? It hurts my eyes to read your posts.

I want to though, they are often helpful, but your font color makes them really hard to read.

Took the course yesterday and must say I learned a lot. All my new products are from Smart Wax/Chemical Guys, but didn't need to take anything cuz they provide everything.

If you live in SoCal, this 50 dollar, five hour DIY course is perfect for those of you who like maintaining your own cars and don't like dropping hundreds to remove those water spots/swirls etc.

Definitely and amazing course taught by an amazing known professional detailer.
