They finish beautifully. They're awesome for correction. I wouldn't use anything else, now.

To be fair, it's a xenon light.

Thank you.

If you are getting over run with business, sounds like a good time to bump your prices up a small amount. Unless of course this surge of business is only temporary.

I thought you were the one who said a ONR wash only take you twenty minutes.

Sorry Scott, just messing with you a little.

I could tell it needed claybar very, very badly.

So, I have just finished Day One.
