"as the product description says you can NOT be a detailer without having one. one of my customers wanted to remove swirls from his car but once i measured the paint there was no clear coat to work with and he found out the used car dealer he bought it from lied to him about the car's bodywork history. the numbers were way off from each other as I measured each panel. Also came in handy when i went with a buddy to buy a used car from a private seller. The car was in great shape but once i measured the paint i noticed paint levels were very low. turned out the owner thought he could do as many paint corrections as he wanted not knowing he was cutting through clearcoat. we walked away from the deal."
