I must say that pictures are few as they were not allowed beyond the hallways.

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend the polishing workshop put on by Menzerna and taught by the automotive paint technician, Oliver Klein. This was a great experience to attend the headquarters in Otigheim and receive some training at the manufacturer.

This was a one day class with a classroom instruction in the morning and practical application in the afternoon. The class was very diverse with a German instructor and students from Japan, Slovenia, and America.

One thing I did find very interesting was the mention of bringing focus to the detailer/end user side of things. It was re assuring to hear this news for our area of the market.

Thanks Ian! Sure thing.

Flex machines. I did pick up a small bit about the product line. The chemistry side was pretty interesting. I did learn a thing or two about process as well.

Thanks Darrin.

Keep an eye out for Menzerna topics. I will provide feedback as best I can. Most of it is what GEEK that hangs out here on a daily basis would know.

Now, the new 3n1 AIO? It posses the polishing powder of PF2500.
The PP Ultra? It posses SF4000 powder.

Very cool. Didn't know about this. Do you have any other information when another class is offered?
Its about a 1 1/2 from me.
 
I bet that was a great experience! I met Oliver at SEMA last year and he is very passionate about detailing. :dblthumb2:

It was Nick. Had a blast. Even though its a minor trip for me, I love the limitless Autobahns! Makes minor trips even shorter.

Oliver is a great guy with a passion for this craft. :xyxthumbs:
