    Demo Hoods for Mobile Tech Expo and Barrett-Jackson

    Demo Hoods for Mobile Tech Expo and Barrett-Jackson


    Made a trip out to my favorite salvage yard here in Stuart, Snake Road Salvage and pulled 4 hoods of wrecked cars for upcoming classes and demonstarations at Mobile Tech Expo and Barrett-Jackson in Palm Beach.


    Each hood is extremely oxidized but NOT past the point of no return. Also notice how they are the most part very square and about as flat as hoods get. These make great demo hoods.


    From left to right,

    Black hood basecoat/clearcoat
    Red hood single stage
    Blue hood basecoat/clearcoat
    White hood - won't know what type of paint until we start buffing





    Here's the entrance to Snake Road Auto Salvage from Salerno Road - Just down the road from Autogeek. The owner Phil is genuine car guy with a nice collection of cool cars and always a great friend to Autogeek.






    Here's an aerial view






    Here's the section with late model cars. Basically I walk up and down each row searching for perfect demo hoods. After testing the paint, then I remove the bold holding the hood to the hood hinges and pack it back to the truck.

    Do you bring the nicely polished back to Phil when you are done?

    Check out the before and after pictures from the neglected hood I pulled from the Snake Road Salvage yard last year...


    Pictures from 2018 Mobile Tech Expo



    New at Mobile Tech Expo this year was the Exhibitor Demos in the Pavilion. For our demo I pulled an EXTREMELY oxidized hood of a Nissan of our local Snake Road Salvage yard and then put our new BLACKFIRE One Step to the test to see if in one step it could bring back the shine. After doing a test section I turned the polishers over to guys in the crowd and let them do the polishing work and I think the pictures speak for themselves.

    You can have a vette for it if you want.

    THis is a different one. The other was hard top, but as disease progressed, I couldn't take top off. So...…...
