The FLEX Academy’s “Flexxperts” Machine Polishing Course is a 1-1 training day, designed to acquaint participants with the knowledge, skills, and techniques essential for maximising the performance of every type of machine polisher offered by FLEX Tools, ranging from the PE14 Rotary to the PXE nano polisher.
The day is suitable for attendees of all skill levels as the course can adapt to your needs, commencing with an overview of movement types and theory to recap basic technique and knowledge, before proceeding to the studio for the first of the instructor-led sessions. We delve into combination matching, enabling you to correctly pair the machine, pad, and compound with the paint in front of you, while discussing the nuances between movement types and their impact on effectiveness.
Each machine, including Rotary, Dual Action, the Nano PXE, and Forced Action XFE, along with both corded and cordless options, is comprehensively explained and demonstrated. Participants gain hands-on experience on both test panels and live vehicles to trial and refine their technique, or simply to explore the capabilities of the polishers under trained instruction.
Upon completion of Day One, attendees receive a Flex training day certificate and have the option to progress to Day Two to attain full Flexxpert status using sanding and refinement techniques. Additionally, there is an opportunity to purchase any Flex polisher enjoyed during the day at a discount—ideal for test-driving whilst honing the necessary techniques.
