Thanks for sharing Junkman. I always say the proof is in the pudding. Let's see some finished products. I'm not saying that in a negative way - I think it would help tie things together.
I worked in the auto industry for almost 20 years. I ran body shops and have worked with countless detailers. Out of them all there are a handful that I would let touch my car. Is my car perfect - no. It is 9/10ths which to me is absolutely fine for a car that is daily driven. I've learned a ton from some talented people so whenever someone says "I own/run a detail shop" the first thing I say is let's see some of your work. Just in case you're wondering what my car looks like here's a pic. I wholly agree with the "use whatever works for you".

Well I can't speak for Levi, but I have definitely been showing folks what I can do for years. Here's just one car that I've done from start to finish.
Before: After: And because photographs can be edited, here's the video. By the way, there's absolutely NO WAX on that car whatsoever. It was a trick question. That's what polishing with a sound technique can do for black cars. And then there's MY car, which has 150,000 miles on the odometer. And last of all, just one paint job that I have saved. I've got a video coming out of me wet sanding on another '65 Shelby Cobra. But until then, the Lamborghini Murcielago will have to do.
