        I think the term Professional is when you refer to yourself as "The Master"...



        Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said that, but thought maybe a little fun needed to be inserted in this thread...

          Hydrocodine and posting on forums is not a good mix Sorry if I came across as being insulted or a jerk.
          No worries! OT, I hope your recovery goes well and you are back on your feet in no time!!!

          As for this thread, I believe this to be a great topic and one that is greatly overdue IMHO.

                              I'm going to say no, and here's why:

                              We get plenty of calls here in the Meguiar's Customer Care Center from guys all over the country who make a living detailing cars, and surprisingly enough many of them do all their work by hand. Yep, they don't even use a D/A. If they can make a living doing things this way, if their customers are happy with the results, are they not "professionals"?

                              Conversely, how many times on this forum alone have we seen someone come along looking for a way to fix the problems caused by the "professional" who rotary buffed their car?

                              So I don't think you need to be proficient at rotary use to be called "professional" and certainly just because you do use one you are not automatically bestowed the title of "professional".

                              I look at guys like Mike Phillips, Tim Lingor, Joe Fernandez, Kevin Brown and others as being more than "professionals" - they are artists with a rotary buffer. After all, do we not refer to this as "the art of paint polishing"?
