It’s been just over a year since we first launched our Authorized Detailer program, and since then the response has been overwhelming. But from the very beginning, our Authorized Detailers wanted to know one thing:
“When are you going to have in-person training?”
Now, a year or so later, we’ve just wrapped on our first ever Authorized Detailer training event, and it’s safe to say the event was a total success. Seven Authorized Detailers came out to the event: Charles Reese from A-Game Mobile Detailing in Florida, Avanti Johnson from Eye For Detail in Atlanta, Mike Thienel from AutoTrim Design Neenah, and three employees from AutoTrim’s soon-to-be partners Dynamic Auto Detailing, Jorge Carvajal, Samuel Cotton and Tanner Perkins.
Once folks arrived Saturday morning, we jumped right into things with a quick presentation on nanotechnology by Dr. Beasley’s Founder/President Jim Lafeber.
Once we had laid down some foundational knowledge, it was time to show our nanotechnology in action. We started with some Glass Serum Pro on a custom 1997 Porsche 911. While we waited for the coating to haze, the class got to work coating the paint with Nano-Resin. Once the Glass Serum Pro excess had hazed on the windshield, Authorized Detailers took turns buffing off the remaining coating.
With the Porsche complete, it was time to move on to the main event—a 2019 McLaren 520s Spider. First on the docket was some hands-on action with Headlight Coating. We made sure to tape up the headlights first to avoid any over-coating that could interfere with the upcoming Nano-Resin Pro application. Everyone took turns spraying the prep and applying the coating. Once the lights were wrapped up, the class got to taping up the rest of the McLaren for Nano-Resin Pro. From there, the coating could begin.
After we wrapped things up on the McLaren, everyone gathered round Andrew for a talk on warranty check-ups and aftercare for our nanocoating systems. After that, I stepped in to deliver a quick talk on matte technology and matte paint care. That dovetailed nicely into a fast Matte Paint Coating Pro demo on the AMG G 63 we coated for a video back in April.
Once the matte demo had ended, it was time to hand out certificates, t-shirts and head on over to Pequod’s for some well-deserved pizza. The whole Dr. Beasley’s team had a blast getting to meet our Authorized Detailers in person, getting to know them and answering their questions about operating a detail shop. More events are definitely coming in the future. Interested in applying to the Authorized Detailer program? Learn more here.
