go with a trenta-sized Starbucks Iced Coffee with black eyes (2 shots of espresso). It's guaranteed to put the snap back in your step.

That's no joke right there. My wife got food poisoning at a bbq place's salad bar back in '97 and has never been back to any branch of that establishment since. She had it coming out both ends for a week....and what's weird is...it started out bad, and kept getting progressively worse.

Every once in a while I say "Hey you wanna go get a salad buffet at Sonny's"?

i use to do everything by hand, but i found out how fast i can accomplish using RO's, i haven't looked back.

and if using polishes and polymers, i dont even wash the pads these days. i just use it once, toss it in the trash. saves more time.

Happy Friday all.

Day two from the sick bed with a massive sinus infection. The fever is down from a high of 104° to around 100° now. I still feel like absolute crap though.

Better to be sick this weekend with Daytona on TV than next weekend when I'll be at The Circuit of the Americas for the Grand Am race and Nissan meet.

Mr. Isamu is in rare form today.

ms bc - saw the old picture you posted on fb. I assume you are the girl on the left; you have beautiful eyes!

Time to doze again.

Have a great weekend all.

It really depends on the condition of you paint and the level of correction you want to achieve. Products and machines can have a serious affect on time used/saved. With the new Rupes Bigfoot 21, I can correct paint in almost half the time it used to take. That time savings = more cha-ching in my pocket and less time the customer is without a vehicle, all while achieving the same end results.

I'm not looking for paint correction right now. The paint is fine except for tons of rock chips, and I'm not touching those. I figure if I keep up with the wash and wax, I won't have to worry about paint correction too much. I've got a couple of scratches I'm going to work at again by hand when new pads arrive, but I will definitely borrow my friend's orbital if necessary (another reason I haven't bought my own - he's down the street from me).
