    Thanks for the update Mike. I have attended Mobile Tech Expo well over ten times. The show is a great place to gain some knowledge and meet other detailers from all over and share information.
    The show has really grown looking forward to what the new organization is going to do with it.

    I agree. It's much larger and every year the show gets better and better!

    My first year was the first year I was at Autogeek back when it was in Clearwater, Florida


    Pictures from Mobile Tech Expo 2010








    In this section we sanded first with the 1500 Sanding Disc and then followed with the 3000 Foam Finishing Disc













    Here's Mark watching me show machine wet sanding






    In the section towards the driver's side fender we only sanded with the Unigrit #3000 Foam Finishing Disc to test the paint and show what could be done with both approaches.






    Explaining how the W5000 Double Sided Wool Cutting pad attaches to a rotary buffer using a Double Sided Pad Rotary Buffer Adapter.









    Sharing how to pick up a bead or strip of product using the 10 @ 10 Method. Can I get a witness? After each time I picked up a bead of product there was no splatter slung?














    Results


    Before












    100% of the sanding marks were removed with just a few passes of M105 and a wool pad and almost no effort at all.

    That's Fred taking the picture...

    I try to attend as many trade shows as I can always learning or sharing



    Mike I am always amazed at how well you recall everything and can find pics right away. You must have a really good filing system to recall that much stuff.

    Acquisition is a good sign of growth as it generates economies of scale. Further bringing down the cost of services thus making it more competitive and affordable. <a href="http://www.anzael.com"> Anzael </a>
