Mobile Tech Expo Class Schedule for 2016

Been hyper busy with teaching this weekend's latest Competition Ready 3-day detailing class and just now getting behind my computer, (Monday morning), and I did a quick search and found out that Kevin Halewood and the people at Mobile Tech Expo have posted the class schedule for this year's Mobil Tech Expo classes.



8:15a-9:15a Curacao 5 & 6
1: How to Make Money with Exterior Car Detailing


Mike Phillips, author of How to use the Flex 3401 for both production detailing and show car detailing, will show you how to turn the Flex 3401 gear-driven, forced rotation and forced oscillation dual action orbital polisher into your own money making machine. Mike will share how to use the Flex 3401 to do both production detailing and show car detailing. Learn to detail faster without leaving holograms or swirls in the paint and without the risk of burning through the paint. You’ll also learn how to optimize the Flex 3401 for buffing thin panels and tight areas.

There are a lot of tool options on the market for making money by detailing cars, each type or category of tool has its strong points and its weak points. The most versatile tool on the market is the German engineered and manufactured Flex 3401 gear-drive, forced rotation and forced oscillation dual action orbital polisher. You’ll also learn how to mechanically decontaminate paint using Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads for smoother paint and high glass than you can get from using only detailing clay.

If you’re serious about owning a successful detailing business then attend this class.

3: Reduce Correction Time with a Rotary Buffer to Make More Money

Mike Phillips, the author of The Complete Guide to a Show Car Shine and How to Detail Boats using Marine 31, has decades of experience using rotary buffers to buff out anything on wheels or on the water.

It’s the tool of choice for removing sanding marks after wet sanding an entire car or simply an isolated repair. In FACT, the rotary buffer is the fastest way to remove ANY type of paint defect. Period.

Then learn secrets to always leaving a 100% swirl free finish guaranteed. Mike will show you how to become one with the buffer to make it a natural extension of yourself and to make using a rotary buffer easier on you and safer for any detailing project.

The Autogeek booth will be TWICE the size it has been in the past and we'll be stocking the largest collection of tools, products and pads than ever before.


I'm sad to say I will only be at Mobile Tech on Thursday this year for my classes as Friday morning I'll be flying out to Arizona to prep a barn find project car for the Russo & Steele Auction for Competition Ready on Velocity.


See you all there!

Wish I could make that but I still have two more weeks before I get back to the states.

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Make sure to introduce yourself as I like to put a face to an Avatar...

[Ray@Autogeek]

I can't wait! MTE is always a great show!

[AllanS]

Only a few days away!

@Mike - Introducing myself wouldn't really help associate my name with my non-existent avatar! Let's just say that we (well, sister) met you last year - with the couple that traveled all the way from Germany to see you & Detailfest!

See ya'll here in O-town in 2 days!
