He actually sold his client list recently. I do some work on the side but it's pretty much all in my social circle and none of his old clients. I might could take care of that bad boy for you if the price is right.

I actually use his old Rupes polisher. It has very little vibration and has a much larger throw than the PC. It has a 21mm throw versus 13 I believe. It covers a lot more area but doesn't cut quite as hard on edges.

It depends. I think my friend would charge about $300-$500 for a 2 step polish on a car, depending on how bad the paint was. One step polish was about half of that.

Looks good.

Never been brave enough to mess with it on a personal vehicle but the results look worth it.

I did last year when a little shop opened in Mandeville. Maybe I just got a good deal at the time. We are talking basic wax buff and wipe off with cheese cloth

truck is lucky it gets washed every year or so


I don't even remember the last time I washed mine. That layer of dirt is protecting my paint job!
