Just to note...
I wouldn't wear this belt while
machine polishing a car, in fact in a number of places on this forum and in my new how-to book I teach people to buff out panels like LARGE, roofs, hoods and truck lids ALL THE WAY FROM BEGINNING TO END because in order to reach out to the middle and work the center you're going to have to LEAN against the side body panels like fenders.
It would be as I call it, working backwards to for example compound the hood and then compound the sides of the fenders only to then POTENTIALLY re-inflict scratches back into the compounded fenders and you next polished the hood and thus leaning against the fender you just compounded.
If you want to take this example further, it would be working backwards to polish the sides of the fender after polishing the hood only to come back and lean against the fender as you wax, seal or coat the hood.
While I don't have any pictures of myself doing the polishing steps to this car I can guarantee you I had to lean against the sides of the cars as I worked on the center of the horizontal surfaces because it's HUGE!

Make sense?
That all said, I think the belt is really cool and I love the idea, makes me think of carpenters and such that wear their fully stocked tool belts to be more efficient with their time.
There are
other aspects of car detailing where this belt could come in handy, especially in a production detail shop. But for the kind of cars I tend to work on and we detail here at Autogeek, it's probably better to just wear a soft cotton t-shirt that covers the front of your pant's belt loops and snap so if you do lean against the car you've reduced the potential to mar or scratch the paint.
Looks cool though and I'll keep the one Francesco and Marco gave me at SEMA for my collection of trophies acquired in my career in the detailing world.
And the Catalina came out wonderful...
Finished...
w.o the kit?! a haha
