I'm writing this proofread review from earlier today which hastily typed on my iPhone during my lunch break and I don't know how to make changes on a previously typed review on Yelp. Hopefully this edited version is what is read.
Chemical Guys in Escondido, CA
Detailing Class, February 20, 2021
Instructor: Diego
Diego was our detailing instructor, but he had a few store employees help and take the class. I thought that was good because we had an instructor with lots of experience teaching us and a few who know enough from already starting this trade and in addition, knowing the store products which help us achieve the shine we're all trying to achieve on a car. The day started with the products and tools all setup nicely in the order we were going to use them on the two cars for us to work on. One was a car that initially I didn't care for since it looked awful and had lots of oxidation. The other car, a Mercedes Benz looked great from far away, but close up showed lots of swirl marks everywhere.from being cleaned from carwashes. I'm happy for these two examples since oxidation on cars is what I'll be dealing with a lot and also luxury vehicles. A nice car that I'd love to work on but initially would have been intimidated from, in the end I feel confident handling an either car.
Diego was friendly upon meeting and made us comfortable with the breakfast and lunch and encouraged us to ask any question. I came to the class wanting to know how to take care of my car with skills of a detailer, but afraid to even wash my own car because of possibly introducing swirl marks and damaging the paint. Diego's easy going personality and clear way of explaining the stages of detailing easy to understand and do, we shouldn't fear the process. With him occasionally and timely interjecting tips and a helping during the process, we were able to make a few "minor mistakes" and he showed us how to not do that anymore while showing how to correct ourselves. Being in a good size group setting allowed me to see how others did the same thing or slightly different and do well at the end with Diego's help and occasionally that of his helpers. We all did a very good job in transforming two cars with bad paint finishes to cars that could've just been out of a dealership, I think I even forgot how bad they started out. Good thing I took a picture for reference. We were all in disbelief on the final product. Working in the group setting while still trying the new skills has empowered me to now have a month and a half of scheduled detailing jobs starting this Saturdayand I'm still going through more people to call.
Diego thanks to you, your assistance and a store which provides all the goodies to detail any vehicle. Chemical Guys is now my new favorite toy store and the detailing class was invaluable to me!
For anyone wanting to start their own detailing business or just know how to apply the skills of a detailer on their own or friends/family cars, I absolutely would recommend this detailing class and hopefully they'll get Diego as their instructor.
Thanks, Philip read more
