I have one and I really like it. I was able to wash, clay, polish, and wax my mom's 4-door explorer in 9 hours. I did our 93 Mustang before I had it by hand and it took me 12 hours.

Boss-what polishing products did you use? Have you tried any of the Poorboys SSR(super swirl removers)line yet?

I use Zymol Polish and some Mother's Carnuba wax. I also use a mother's claybar.

I swear by the Poorboys SSR lines. I usually start with the 2.5 and then do the final polish with the 1.0. For wax I use the Natty's blue. 02 JRCLASSIC-I returned your pm, did you get it?
