New At Autogeek: Mike Phillips' Principles of Machine Polishing DVD

Detail Fest attendees got another special treat – the new Mike Phillips DVD was available there first. Now Autogek Show Car Garage Mike Phillips’ Principles of Machine Polishing DVD is available at Autogeek.net. Anyone can learn polishing techniques and tips from Mike Phillips in the comfort of your own garage.

Machine polishing is easy and anyone can do it. You’ll be convinced after watching Mike Phillips’ Principles of Machine Polishing. Mike thoroughly explains the what, how, and why of detailing with a polisher by using two popular machines: the Porter Cable 7424XP and the Cyclo. The techniques shown for the Porter Cable 7424XP also apply to the Griot’s Garage Random Orbital Polisher, the Meguiars Dual Action Polish G110v2, and any other orbital polisher.

In addition to how to use the polishers, you’ll learn important steps to guarantee a perfect finish, such as pad selection, how to use the Brinkmann Swirl Finder Spotlight, how and when to perform a test spot, how to perform a section pass, and many more tips they just don’t tell you in the instruction manual!

Mike Phillips is our Director of Training at Autogeek. He teaches machine polishing classes here in the Autogeek Show Car Garage several times a year, where detailers learn the techniques you’ll see in this video. Now you can bring Mike into your own garage to show you how a polisher can transform your vehicle into a show car.

Your vehicle can look like a show car. Mike Phillips’ Principles of Machine Polishing will show you how.

The New Porter Cable How-To Video is Live!

How to use the Porter Cable 7424XP to Remove Swirls
This new video shows a 3 step process to remove swirls out of a clear coat finish PLUS how to do a TEST SPOT to make sure you’re getting GREAT results before you attempt to buff out your entire car.

This how-to video shows everything you need to know about using a DA Polisher to do a Test Spot on your car and then the idea is, after you PROVE your system, that is after you successfully use your choice of pads, products and technique to remove the swirls in one small area, then you simply duplicate the same process over the rest of the car. Once you prove your system by doing a test spot you’re guaranteed success.

By doing a Test Spot and proving you can make one small section look great you’ll have the confidence to duplicate your process over the rest of the car and create a show car finish.

You’ll see,

  • How to remove swirls
  • How to polish the paint to a high gloss
  • How to apply a paint sealant by machine

Packed with Tips and Techniques
Besides showing the correct technique for working by machine to clean, polish and wax or seal your car’s paint there’s also lots of tips and techniques included in the video.

Techniques work with all 3 popular DA Polishers
The techniques shown in this video will work with all three of these DA Polishers,

Universal Techniques
These techniques will also work with any quality Foam Buffing Pads as well as any quality Swirl Mark Removers, Polishes and Glazes and, of course, your favorite Car Wax or Paint Sealant.

On a personal note…
It’s really easy for me to be my own worst critic and there’s a few glitches for sure but all and all I think it came out pretty good and after a second editing it will be even better.

Please feel free to post any questions or comments you have after watching the video to the forum.

Thank you…
A huge thank you to Max for supporting this new educational division of Autogeek.net and another huge thank you to Yancy for all his hard editing work. I’d also like to thank our Director Jason and everyone else at Autogeek for their help and support.
