The FLEX Academy “Flexxperts” All In 2-day course introduces attendees to the knowledge, skills and techniques to get the most out of every style of machine polisher available from FLEX Tools, From the PE14 Rotary to the PXE nano polisher. This professional day runs to an intermediate level of training, before moving on to sanding and refinement techniques using FLEX machines.
Day One starts with an overview of movement types and theory, to get everyone up to speed before heading into the studio for the first of the instructor-led sessions. We look at combination matching, to allow you to correctly pair the machine, pad and compound with the paint in front of you and discuss the differences between movement types and how the techniques alter for efficiency.
Each machine is explained; Rotary, Dual action XFE, the Nano PXE, and Forced Action XCE, along with corded and cordless options, and you will have hands-on experience on both panels and live vehicles to trial and perfect your technique, or simply have a go to see how you get on with them if you’re looking to purchase to see what they can achieve in trained hands.
Day Two is machine sanding and correction for the ultimate in refinement capability. Effectively use of short-throw FLEX sanding machines, coupled with fine-grade abrasive discs, can be the most efficient way to achieve perfection on highly damaged, recently painted or otherwise imperfect paint finishes. We show you the techniques and tricks to utilise this high-end skill to the greatest effect and how to then safely and efficiently correct and refine the paintwork to complete perfection.
Candidates receive Flexxpert All-In certification.
