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

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.

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?

:D

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...

" Now I'm up to 8 classes and I still see you and Mark and a lot of the guys that were at the 2010 class at all the classes after it."


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.
