    Got a before shot? Was it as bad, or worse than yours?

    Sadly, no before shots. What was ironic was that this guy used to be a detailer.
    He used a Flex 3401 for everything including applying wax. It's his only machine.
    Lord knows what pads and compounds he used but it was a rolling hologram.
