(My 2 cents)
$1000 dollars for wax? No way! Unless, of course, you are into bragging about how much you spend. Most of the people you talk to don't know about waxes anyway. With $1000 you can modify your car and still have some money to buy a good wax.
I would suggest wearing gloves when using your Porter Cable. It minimizes the vibrations. That's what I do when I use it cause it leaves my hands "tingly".
i used to drive it too but noticed that during the drive the car picked up much more dust/dirt then I went for the blower with wind speed of 200mph or was it 150 mph? Who knows but it works.
