Wow, I can't believe that was your first time with the rotary. You did great work on that Audi clear. The finals look like new! Great job on the wheels too, my boss has the same ones and they are so banged up.

Looks great. How many hits did it normally take with the 105? Try using a lower ISO at night, it might clear up the picture a bit (you'll probably need a tripod for it though).

Its awesome, I figured an Audi clear was not the best thing to start with but it needed a lot of correction and time was not on my side so I used the Makita instead of the Flex and im so glad I did. The Makita is really an great machine.

Oh the CM5300 is a great light, super bright and it has a wide range as well. Its corded too so you never have to worry about the batteries dying on you.
