The Rupes was the BEST investment I made this year! So glad AG started carrying them. It litterally cut down my polishing by a minimum 30-40%, with better correction then any combinations of products and pads with my GG6. The noise level is awesome and the vibration is..... well, that picture you saw above, I was compounding with one hand and taking a picture with the other. Try that with a Flex

Whole process from start to finish was 21 man hours, which accounts for inside and outside detailing.

These are an excellent example of your detailing skills:

Even though your pictures, IMHO, "tell the tale":
You know how I enjoy the: story behind the "scenes"...
The more the script, the better it is for me.

Write On!!!
