Detailing DVD at the Dragon!

You've seen the DVD in the NAM store. Maybe you saw the Vendor Announcement I posted. Now you can see it and buy it in person. I will have a small supply with me at the Dragon. Come by my tent over at M7 to check it out in person.

******************
VacuCam and ShowCarGarage have teamed up to create a new unit called SCG Productions which produces How-To DVD's on detailing cars. Our first release is now in the NAM store and it's been getting nothing but rave reviews. We cover over 50 techniques in 2.5 hours. Music by garage band Sour Puck.

The title is, How To Use the PC for Showcar Results.

If you don't know what a PC is, it stands for Porter Cable, and in the detailing world, it's one of the most misunderstood, yet most useful tool for achieving that swirl free, super glossy finish.

Instruction was provided by Mike Phillips, the technical writer/trainer/internet guru over at Meguiar's who teaches the weekend clinics and runs their online forum. All production and behind the scenes buffing was done by both Mike and myself since we shot and buffed out the car in a single day.

Our second forth coming video to be released later this summer will be on using the Rotary Buffer.


Some recent comments from our forum:

Well I just finished watching the video and I am very impressed. It is well worth the money. I can't tell you the amount of tips that I learned from watching it and some of the things that I found I was doing wrong with the Porter Cable. Like they say "Knowledge is power". Mike takes the time to go over issues several times in the video and keeps reinforcing points. I will definitely be looking for future videos from you guys.-Pats300zx

...What really surprised me however was the thoroughness of the information being covered! I have well over 20 years of detailing experience, and many of the tips and suggestions Mike made, were things that I discovered over the years the hard way! In fact, whether you are an amateur at detailing or even the seasoned Professional, there is something in the video for everyone! Again, many of the tips and tricks Mike teaches are things that take most people many years to discover! For any amateur, these tips are priceless in my opinion!-2hotford

For me this DVD is priceless, best money detail related that I have ever spent. I was able to pick up alot from mike. So many things I was doing wrong or not using the best technique. But not only the techniques that he teaches where beneficial to me, I was also able to take away more confidence and motivation in my detailing and made me feel more comfortable doing the next detail.- Arousa

Well I have to say I'm on my 3rd viewing and I just keep finding things I never knew. This video is a must for beginning detailers. - Mark Maguire

Just recieved my copy a few days ago. I am a complete newbie to detailing and I got a TON of great info from this for both applying by hand, and also using a DA. I also got a DA about a week and a half ago, but was waiting to get the DVD before I tried it out. I'm glad I did as I would've made some of the mistakes mentioned in the video. It was great to see an explination of the proper hand speed to use.- Robbo

I got mine yesterday and watched it last night. Awesome video! I wish I had it two years ago when I got my PC...would have helped me from making some obviuos mistakes!- Volunteer1816

Way to GO! YOU have knocked one out of park with this!
Take a bow, smile and punch your fists into the air because you did good [a Southern saying]. I took 8 pages of notes to double check myself and my techniques to see if I was using the correct techniques recommended and to help remember the many “tips” that are discussed as well as shown. I know that I will refer back many times during the rest of my career detailing and I will require all new hires and current employees to review this HTPC CD once a year so that we are all on the same page when it comes to talking about and taking care of the paint. All future HOW-TO CD’s that are made by SCG Productions will also be required watching as part of working with me.
Do you sell stock?

We have 2 versions of the DVD in the store. Both DVD's are identical, but in order to accomodate different shipping prices, I've made two items.

For all orders shipped within the USA, use this one
http://store.northamericanmotoring.c...&cat=10&page=1

For all orders shipped outside (Mexico and Canada included) use this one
http://store.northamericanmotoring.c...&cat=10&page=1

I ship by FedEx Ground or Home Delivery when appropriate within the USA and USPS Global Priority Mail for all International orders.

Thank you!
