    really good turn around. Also, your shop looks very neat and orderly (the way it should be) That tool cart looks like it would be pretty handy.

    Thanks ;)

    I`m happy. Thanks :)
    Thanks! The shop could be better, but we`ve just been in business for 2 months, so not too much to keep in order. Yeah, I love this tool cart! In the beginning we just used an old shopping cart, with low edges :giggle:
    Thanks ;)
    I love them too, but what I love even more is the white one standing next to it ;)
    My dream car, finally realised :applause2:

    You do some amazing work and this is no exceptions! Talk about the best possible work space as well, look at the weather and the views!

    Nice job. How much clear did you remove with
    S17?

    Thanks a whole bunch! :applause2:
    Yeah, we have a great facility :worship2:
    The weather just happened to be this nice the day I finished the job. The last couple of weeks ther has been almost nothing but rain...
    But the view doesn`t change, though:giggle: It`s still great ;)

    Well done, vehicle looked quite bad, some nice swirls. The turn around was really good, job well done :applause: :applause:

    Thanks, buddy! Yeah, I really like Scholl, too :applause2:
    Thank you, Nica:thumb:
    The pictures don`t show just how bad it was, as the the sun wasn`t high enough to achieve good swirl-pictures :shrug:

    Well done and amazing correction work ;)

    If I may ask, how do you find the Flex 3403 rotary ? I am keen on possibly getting one but I am uncertain because of the highish lowest speed setting of 1100rpms...is this a problem in any way ?

    Not a problem what so ever for me :)
    I simply love this machine :applause2:

    Those swirls were horrable nice work with the car

    Thanks! The whole car was covered in swirls, especially the trunk lid and hood.
    The front left fender and driver door was repainted (almost double the coat thickness), but was still badly swirled...
