    Thanks, Mike, for sharing your Flex tour experiences!!

    Knowing how many plants in the USA are so guarded
    with their "intellectual property"...
    It's amazing that you were even allowed a camera in the building.

    Glad you were though.

    See if you can tour a few Mercedes assembly plants...
    I really enjoyed touring a few of them when I was over there.

    It was incredible Rob!

    Maybe we can get Nick to get these added to the AG inventory?

    I am with you! I cant wait to see what is released at SEMA!

    IMO, these Flex polishers are made like tanks.

    I'm not at all surprised to see ladies on the assembly line. There was a piece I read a few years back regarding Ducati's assembly plant. One thing the director mentioned was that they favored women to men on engine assembly - that ladies tend to be more cautious/less aggressive, therefore less mistakes and more consistent with their work.
    No problem!

    Hmmm. Didn't know that!

    Thanks Bob!

    I was a bit surprised as well that I could take pictures inside the facility.

    I plan on touring BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche as well as more detailing companies such as Sonax. Hopefully I can.

    I would love to tour Porsche, they truly do create some incredible works of art. Some of which we rarely see here in the US. Here's one of those works of art that Corey and I had the pleasure of working on when we went to Turkey...(Hope you don't mind me sharing them here in your thread Mike). BTW the valve stem covers on this car were sterling silver, how cool is that!

    Dear Mr. Michael Ploesser,

    You accomplished your visit to Flex headquarter in a glorious way! Have you asked, Mr. who?! Call me Smack ahhaha

    Thank you very much for sharing this with us, the pictures are great and how I see the beauty of PE-14 through your eyes, (I mean, camera lens)!.

    Best Regards,
