Comprehensive Paint Correction Instruction

No disappointments! This class was well organized and beneficial whether novice or expert. Mike Phillips provided start to finish hands on Instruction to automotive paint restoration. All steps… beginning with cleaning the paint substrate, sanding (wet/dry) coarse/fine cutting, polishing, to ceramic finish, Mike covers it all in detail and much more.

A multitude of top name equipment is at your disposal to experience, along with personal technique instructions on each. The amount and level of knowledge provided in this class can’t be expressed in the limited space of this review. Whether beginner or a seasoned veteran, this knowledge and instruction is well worth the time and effort. And come well rested!

Thanks, Mike, for the well-rounded experience, I’m looking forward to buying some equipment and putting this training to use.

2 day class was Fabulous!!

This was Awesome hands on class !! Mike is unbelievable teach / guide felt like we were just working in the shop . I never felt like he was trying to be that teacher that is always looking down on you, so to say. Mike just provides knowledge and techniques to get it done and the fastest way to do it. I have had a few teachers in the past that acted like they were sitting on high horse. We were going all day long, no sitting around. He taught us techniques, systems, processes, and all about several different products/polishers.

He wasn’t there to sell you something. He was there to truly teach detailing . I learned so much, way more than I was expecting too! I highly recommend taking Mike’s class regardless of your level of detailing. He just wants to see you succeed and be ready take on the world. He took my knowledge and confidence of wet sanding through the roof. You will not regret taking his class the only regret I have about the class, is that I didn’t take it sooner. The value of the class is much much higher than the actual cost.

Thanks so much! Go head sign up!

AMAZING CLASS! The absolute best!

I recently completed the Dr. Beasley’s 2-Day Auto Detailing Course with Mike Phillips, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, the training was 100% hands-on, no long lectures, no sitting back. Every moment was spent actually detailing cars, learning real techniques for paint correction, polishing, tire/plastic/glass correction, and coating application

Mike Phillips is not only a master of his craft, but also an incredible teacher. He broke everything down step-by-step, making even the most advanced techniques approachable. What really impressed me was his dedication after the course, approximately 10 days later, Mike personally followed up with a phone call to check in and see if I had any questions or needed clarification on anything we covered. That kind of follow-through shows how much he truly cares about his students’ success.

If you’re serious about detailing, whether as a professional or an enthusiast, this course is absolutely worth it. You walk away with real confidence, practical skills, and the reassurance that Mike and the Dr. Beasley’s team have your back even after the class ends.

110% RECOMMEND

Fairly new to the detailing world, extremely new to the paint correction portion. Mike’s class was filled with a lot of firsts for me. First time using a rotary and DA, first time ceramic coating, first time wet sanding and so much more.

I went from having no idea where to begin before this class to now having the confidence, knowledge, and mechanical skills to begin this journey on my own. I cannot stress this enough, whether you’ve never paint corrected or have been for years, TAKE THIS CLASS.

The two 8 hour days of straight work with almost 0 downtime taught me more than I would’ve ever learned from the YouTube gurus. Thank you for offering this class Mike. Will be recommending this to anyone and everyone who is looking to further their paint correction skills!

—Quintin H.

You will leave this class with confidence

The class was GREAT! I had never used a Machine buffer in my life and in less than 30 minutes of first day of class was using one on a Corvette! I am 59 years old and enjoying taking classes and learning new things.

I have taken courses on painting classic Cars , custom fabrication etc., Unlike Instructors I had in the past, Mike teaches you like he has hired you and expect you to be able to work on your own in a couple of days.

He puts the equipment in your hands and tells you to go to it. Furthermore, shows you how to get it done fast for maximum profit. You don’t pass the tools around he has 20+ of every tool and the best tools in the industry including Flex, Rupes, Griot’s Garage, etc.

I left this class feeling as if I wanted to open up a detail shop tomorrow as I feel I have been given enough hands on training and knowledge to do so.

The Ultimate Hands-On Detailing School

From the very beginning of his 30+ years teaching auto detailing, our Chief Education Officer Mike Phillips has always believed in a hands-on approach to education.

Every class, Mike brings in real-deal cars and boats with owners expecting a job well done. If you’re an aspiring pro, it gives you a taste of the professional world. If you’re already in business, it won’t feel like riding with training wheels. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned veteran, real-world training is best.

Let’s be honest — it would be a lot easier to show you a couple PowerPoints and have you buff a test hood. But that’s not true experience, and it doesn’t prepare students for the rigors of real world detailing. So we do it the hard way.

Learning to polish cars at Mike Phillips' auto detailing classes.
