furthermore I dont intend to be the expert on polishing however, I dont
believe you need to be I certified PROFESSIONAL to run your buffers.This
is something that with practice can be done by anyone willing to learn.
Your vicious response was a poor choice in good business practice.I would
rethink the next time you decide to lash out a 200 possible customers.
