Before the class started...



After the class started...






Student testing out the Swirl Finder Light to inspect for swirls before we started working on the paint.



If your topic is interesting and your students are there to learn, it's easy to hold large classes...









Cameras, Phones and Camcorders were everywhere taking shots and capturing video...

Pictures from the Tips and Techniques to Maximize The Capabilities of the Dual Action Polisher class at Mobile Tech Expo 2010


Everyone there was interested in seeing the techniques we covered in the classroom, (Head Knowledge), demonstrated during the hands-on portion...














The paint on this rental car was filled with millions of swirls, scratches and water spots and demonstrating live on clear coated black paint with a Swirl Finder Light handy for everyone to inspect the results makes for a very convincing and powerful opportunity to show how using the right technique can create a show car finish quick and easy.







For many, this was the first time they had seen the Porter Cable 7424XP in action and the first time they had seen and even used a Brinkmann Swirl Finder Light.












This was a HUGE class and I would like to thank everyone that attended for their attention throughout both the classroom portion and the live demonstration portion.

This was pretty cool, an instant shelter that included matts that your drive onto inside the shelter that uses the vehicle's weight to prevent the shelter from blowing away in heavy wind.





More PDR tools...










Stereo components...



Vinyl Decals, you want it they got it or they can make it...













This guy was from Holland, I never heard the story behind the shoes but he gave everyone something to look at and to listen to as he walked around the show.
