When does a detailer need his “A” game?...Assuming he has one
In most of my training classes students generally seem to get the hang of making a vehicle look absolutely perfect. Since it’s a controlled environment with multiple people, we have plenty of manpower to make sure everything is learned correctly and everything comes out as perfect as possible, both inside and out. But where it generally seems to click in is after learning about buffing, buffing pads, buffing products, etc. We wet sand some scratches out of scrap panels to learn what this process can do for deeper scratches and then of course we need to buff out the sand scratches to fully correct the paint surface. In buffing scrap hoods and then moving on to buffing a real vehicle, students can see how to fully remove all the imperfections and produce perfect looking paint. This is where they really see how great paint can start to look. I love this part of the class because now a student can see perfection and know that with enough time, effort, skill, etc. they can be a top notch detailer and have that “A” game for the pickiest customer. Once they see a paint surface come to life and the amount of effort it takes, this also sparks discussion and questions like, how perfect does it have to be? Can I still get these little tiny scratches out? How many buffing steps will all this take? How long will it take to make the vehicle absolutely perfect?
