Dude! Your work is incredible man. IMO, you are quickly becoming one of the most skilled detailer in this site, even though you recently started doing this (am I correct?). BTW, I love the DWG + Souveran combo; I recently started using this combo myself and it is amazing.

thank you so much man...I idolized (and still do) your work along with rickrack's and a few others on here and it totally inspired me to do well, and I've learned so much and owe it all to this site. I just started in January roughly (semi-pro) detailing, and I've learned so much since then. Means a lot to hear something like that from a skilled detailer like yourself.

Thanks! I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy! One huge difference though between you and I is, I don't dare touch a rotary yet (though I am heading that way), while you seem to have gotten the hang of it quickly. From the pics, it seems you using the Flex rotary, if so, which model? How do you like it? Do you have any other rotaries, and if so which ones, and which one is your favorite?

Awesome job, once again.

However, what are you using on those (p)leather seats? It looks really streaky/splotchy/oily in the pics?

Stunning man, stunning. I've been itching to get a Makita lately, but at 6 times the cost of your rotary, do you think I should just opt for the same one as you for now? Does it bog down or do anything goofy?
