    Post SEMA 2015 Pictures and my take on this year's show

    Post SEMA 2015 Pictures and my take on this year's show


    It's kind of strange how things work out but what usually happens is when people are visiting the booth, a lot of times they ask to get a picture. We all say yes of course. But too often all the pictures end up on the visitor's camera and I end up with just a few pics from the actual event. So this year I tried to whip out my phone every time we were taking pictures in the booth to get a few this year.

    Here's what I had on my camera after getting back to Stuart and getting caught up in other areas of my normal job duty responsibilites...



    Autogeek Booth

    This is Juan Solved from Arlington, Texas. He's a pro detailer and a genuinely nice guy.




    This is Claude Harris Jr. from Norwalk, California. He shares a lot of his work on Facebook and it always looks top notch.





    This is Nick Chapman from Grapevine, Texas. It's been rewarding to follow his success in this industry from the time he started to where he's at now.




    Group shot...






    This is Joey and Ryan. These are the two guys that are doing all the detailing work on the TV show Count's Kustoms with Danny Koker. We had a great discussion about power tools, pads, products and techniques and I had the honor of autographing all 4 of my how-to books for them.





    Flex Booth

    This is Jim Goguen one of the nicest guys as well as the most successful guys in the car detailing business.




    Me and Renny Doyle - Another one of the nicest guys in the detailing industry.





    RUPES Booth

    This is Marco D'Inca the head Engineer at RUPES. He's the key guy behind the BigFoot polishers and in this picture I had just signed a copy of my new RUPES how-to book for him. Before SEMA Marco was so kind as to to call me from Italy to congratulate me on the how-to book as we sent a few copies to RUPES before the SEMA show started. Thanks Marco!




    This is Francesco Ginocchio; he's the Marketing Manager for RUPES and always the fun guy in any crowd!




    This is my friend Oleg from Russia! He took this selfie of me and him and when I flipped the picture from being upside down I forgot to also flip the picture from left to right so the text on my book is reversed.





    SONAX Booth

    This is Manfred Hoffmann the fourth generation owner and president of SONAX from Germany. I met him while doing a book signing in the SONAX booth.





    Here's Renny, Bill, myself and John D'Agastino. Bill and John are also long time buddies in the car show circuit.





    This is Elvis 3 a Kustom 1959 Cadillac by custom car builder and long time friend John D'Agastino. Most of my good friends know I'm a caddy fan having owned a 5 - 1959 Cadillacs and a couple of 1960's.











    This is Renny Doyle and Bill Stuart. Bill is a very good and long time friend.

    If you've ever used the synthetic chamois called the ABSORBER or wet sanded with Nikken Finishing Papers this is the man behind those two products.
