Detailing Class - FLEX XFE7-15mm Free Spinning Orbital Polisher


At our classes... you get to use ALL the tools! Here's one of our classes using the FLEX XFE7, which is a 15mm free spinning long stroke orbital polisher to remove the swirls and scratches out of a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. Now this car has a MODERN basecoat/clearcoat paint job so the paint on this car is the same type of paint used on modern cars.

The techniques you learn at our class while buffing out this high-end build 1957 Chevy are the same techniques you would use on a Toyota Prius or a Ford F350 Truck.


This is just ONE of the cars the class will work on over the course of our 3-day car detailing class. Here's a picture of this car parked among the other cars this class will work on.

And while the paint on ANY car can look good under florescent lights (like you see above), here's what the paint really looks like with a Swirl Finder Light lighting up the paint on the hood....

So a real car, with real paint issues in a real class where you learn by doing, not sitting in a chair.

After washing and claying the 1957 Chevy Bel Air, the class starts the compounding process on the 1957 Chevy with the FLEX XFE7-15

Here are the results....
