    got a new 3403 from Phil last week and didnt have a chance to use it yet until today....unfortunetly i had no time to take pics....

    a local body shop that has been after me to come assist in the management the place and take care of all the High end detailing called in a Frenzy....his Polisher Quit and the cars were backing up....now his other guys can kinda polish but he had 2 Black cars that needed polish work and didnt want his guys to do it....i agreed that i could give him 2 days this week to help out.....the shops painter is amazing and they do real quality work aside from the detailing end....thus the reason they want me on board.....

    todays Jobs were a 2002 Sebring in silver....entire drivers side respray....remove all dust nibs(not many) and polish out all sanded areas with Menz SIP/Orange CCS pad and then 106FA/Megs Finish pad and then give the rest of the car a clay (megs Blue) and a One Step(megs 151 paint reconditioning cream) then i put a coat of Megs Synthetic Sealant 2.0 to top it all off.....looked great and the customer was exstatic....

    next up was a 2008 Camry in Black.....entire back half of the car was resprayed....same course of action.....the black was a bit tricky as i decided to compound with the shops compound which is god knows what.... that was a huge mistake....wound up really having to polish the heck out of it with SIP on an Orang LC CCS and then on a Megs Polish pad followed by 106FA on a megs finishing pad....finally a clay of the rest of the car and then the Megs 151 One step with a final Coat of Synthetic Sealant 2.0......customer said Yeasss is looks Berry Priddy......she didnt speak english very well but she smiled when she saw it:headbang:....kinda sad story she just got her license in her mid 30s...buys a used Camry and has it for 2 days and gets blasted in the rear at a light....hopefully her luck changes...

    needless to say my day started at 7:00 and Ended at 7:00 and the Flex ran for a good portion of that time without a hickup....i forgot how nerve racking polishing fresh paint can be.....

    Great little machine....pretty Quiet....LOVE the Trigger and location of the speed control.....super smooth and plenty powerful....the light weight made working with it a breeze too.....i have not one complaint....:applause2::applause2::applause2:

    Tomorrow i have a black Chevy Trailblazer full side Respray and a Red G35 rear Bumper....the g35 is just the bumper and nothing else but the trailblazer is a mess....
