Need Detailer in East Bay to Teach Techniques

My friend and I are interested in learning how to properly use a Porter Cable. We're looking for someone who would come to San Ramon to teach us how to select and use pads, compounds, polishes, glazes, waxes, etc. Obviously, we're willing to pay.

We did a test run on my friend's black car yesterday; we used mostly Adam's products. The car looks much better than before, but under the right light it still shows lots of minor swirls. We obviously need help.

I've read many of Moe and Phil's suggestions, but a lot of it is Greek to me, especially which products to use under what circumstances. This is why I feel like we need a bit of personalized service.

Anyone?

Moe, do you ever travel to NorCal? MoeBi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Now that you have the PC, give me a call and I need to get you the right pads and polishes. We'll talk about tutorial as well.

Check out the three lower videos on Phil's site. They were very helpful for me when I started and the techniques showed worked. As far as pad and polish selections, just bug Moe or Phil

I called Moe. He's the man! Taught me a ton in just 20 minutes on the phone.

Thanks Moe! I'm sending you an email with my contact info so I can get an order placed with you.
