keep it clean- Heh heh, your initial experinces sound a lot less stressful than mine. I was handed the Milwaukee (wool pad), and told that if I messed up the new cars I'd be a) fired and b) responsible for the repairs. Yep, I was the dreaded untrained kid with a rotary doing new-car prep, but luckily things worked out just fine. Funny how far a little common sense can take you
And things were easier back in the days of single stage.
