NEW-FLEXXPERT

Flexxperts

The Flexxpert Academy is a training program built by FLEX and delivered here at UK Detailing Academy — combining over 100 years of FLEX tool manufacturing knowledge with UKDA’s hands-on detailing instruction.

The goal is straightforward: by the end of your training, you’ll know exactly what each FLEX machine is capable of, how to get the best out of it, and how to apply that to real correction work. Not just familiar with your machine — confident with all of them.

Flexxpert training runs as two-day course, with group and individual options available. Day one covers machine polishing technique across the full FLEX range. Day two adds sanding and heavy defect removal — and completing both days earns you full FLEX certification.

Choose the format that suits you: group sessions offer a collaborative, hands-on environment with multiple machines running simultaneously; individual courses give you 100% instructor focus tailored to your current level.

Group Events

Group Flexxpert sessions run multiple times throughout the year and are built around hands-on time with machines — not sitting listening to presentations.

During the session you’ll work through the full FLEX range: dual action, forced rotation, rotary, the nano PXE, small area polishers, and flexible shaft machines. Each has its own strengths and best-use scenarios, and you’ll leave understanding when and why to reach for each one.

The session also covers compound and pad selection, inspection under lighting, surface preparation, and finishing technique — the full picture, not just how to operate the tool.

Day 1 focuses on machine polishing technique across the range.
Day 2 covers sanding and refinement for heavier defect removal.

You can book one or both days. Completing both earns you full FLEX certification. Note: Day 2 requires existing competence in machine polishing — if you’re not sure whether you’re ready, give us a call before booking.

Individual Courses

Individual Flexxpert courses are bookable at your convenience and run as a two-day program — the same content as the group course, but with every minute of instructor time focused entirely on you.

Whether you’re a professional detailer adding FLEX to your workflow or a private user who wants to get serious about machine polishing, the course is built around your current level.

There’s no fixed starting point — your instructor will assess where you are and work from there.

Day 1 — machine polishing technique across every FLEX machine type, with practical time on the specific machine you own or use most.
Day 2 — sanding, spot refinement, and heavy defect removal techniques.

Both days together earn you full FLEX certification.

FAQs

Can I just do one of the days?

To attain full certification, both days are required. If you only want to learn the polishing aspect or the heavier sanding aspect, we would recommend either our Foundation Machine Polishing or Professional Paint Sanding courses, which we can focus on using entirely FLEX tools, and issue a FLEX one-day certificate. We do caution that, to complete the sanding day, candidates MUST have existing competence in machine polishing technique. If a sanding day is purchased and you don’t have the relevant skills you will gain little from the day as it builds on existing knowledge. If you’re not sure – give us a call!

Will you only train me on the machine I’ve purchased?

No — the whole point of Flexxpert training is getting you on every machine in the FLEX range, not just the one you own. That said, there’s plenty of time during the day to focus on your specific machine and make sure you’re fully comfortable with it. Just let your instructor know which one you have, or bring it along!

Can I bring a friend?

Yes — any additional attendees just need their own course place booked. Your NEW-FLEXXPERT discount applies to those places too, so if they’re also new FLEX owners, they can use it at checkout. We can’t accommodate non-attendees on site during sessions, so only those booked on the course can stay for the day.

Can I purchase equipment on the day?

Usually, yes — and your Flexxpert discount can be applied to any FLEX equipment purchased on the day, too. Worth bearing in mind if there’s a machine on the range you want to try before you buy.
