    I'm certainly no expert, but I'm pretty sure I said something to that effect a week ago...

    What were the other systems that lost performance?

    I prefer pepper.. but that is good advice After nearly 10 years on detailing related discussion forums I would recommend reading everything with a grain of salt.

    That said, I was able to constantly able to remove 2000 grit, dry-sanded (film paper none-the-less) scratches from cured OEM paint using our system in front of plenty of witnesses and forum members.

    No offense was meant

    BTW, I am confident YOU could pull 2000 grit scratches out of OEM paint with a wet spaghetti noodle.

    I admire your talent

    Thanks for the reviews… I contemplated this for a brief moment, but I'm still sticking to my guns, and going with the Rupes Bigfoot Duetto. Bigger throw at 12mm and I believe the build quality will be unmatched.
