we'll talk about all that crap when it comes time to do the detail. i can use higher end products that will last longer but unfortunately that will cost a bit more.

yeah, its def for those people who use it, you really notice the difference when you look at the same color car using two different products. to me its worth it, but to other people its not

na, the guy at my shop says he does it to a lot of cars, just heat it up a little bit with a heat lamp or hell even a hair dryer and it'll come up pretty easily, almost just like a spoiler

im not an elitist!!

70-200L is a beautiful lens, as is the 300 L...looking forward to seeing either one

if I had to pick between the 2, I would go with the 70-200...for a few reasons

1) for pretty cheap you can tack on a 14mm extension tube and have it be a macro lens (real sharp glass=great for macro)
2) depending on whether you get the 2.8 or the 4, you can get a 1.4x mag. and the lens essentially becomes a 300

3) its smaller than the 300 L, and faster, and for pretty cheap it can act as 3 lenses in 1

4) case closed

probably leaning towards the 70-200mm 2.8 and the 1.4x extender for that exact reason. i think I'd rather have the faster lens
