My brother just made my day

We draw names on my side of the family for Christmas gifts, and I got my oldest brother. He has a 1969 GTO that he babies but really isn't into detailing like we are around here. I had really WANTED to get him some detailing stuff but we have a rule where you have to make a list of what you want and we try to stick to the lists so people get things they like/want rather than us all wasting money trying to guess and getting people stuff they don't like. So I waited and waited for his list and it just showed up in my email today.

On it is "orbital waxer/polisher".

Woohoo! Easiest Christmas shopping ever! *heads off to DP*

Hahah perfect---get him a REAL PC polisher and my DVD and he'll be all set! Considering that $31 is significantly less than what it will cost to hire someone to teach him, and it's significantly less than the cost of any mistake that he might incur from using the tool wrong---older single stage paints are soft--it'll be the gift of a lifetime---seriously--especially since DP verified they offer a lifetime warranty on their polisher.

Hmmm, I think we need to get Heather to start selling my DVD with their PC packages.

Maybe I should add free lifetime support on the DVD too.
Just PM or email me for advice as everyone already does.

I have been quite on the issue, but Richard is correct, his DVD was the best money I have spent on detailing stuff. Not to say that I do not like Griots garage or Detailers Paradise. There stuff is great, but you wont get the results unless you know how to use it.
