I loaned a friend my 3/4 full bottle of C-845. He liked it so well that I never got it back. :) He must have coated his Rav-4 many times. :) It's on my shopping list.
The closest we get to any kind of detailing event around here is that The Complete Garage out in Lenexa, KS (suburban KC) will bring in the Griot's folks for a Saturday clinic once every year or two....
I have the new Griot's unit and I'm duly impressed like the other members have said. I was still considering a Flex to "round out the tool box" so to speak, but it sounds like I should spend more...

Very nice! A shame about the wheels. MB brake pads have probably ruined more wheels than any other cause. You might advise your client to switch to Wagner brake pads. Performance is equal or...
