I've been looking for a used one for a little while, but it doesnt seem like there are too many people getting rid of them. I dont run a detail shop, just a detail enthusiast who does some other details on the side, so it wouldnt be prudent to purchase a new one. Has anyone used the Vapor...

Anyone have any recommendations for a steamer at around the $350 mark? Was thinking about the Wagner 905, but I can afford to shell out a few more Benjamins to get something with a little more pop and better accessories. I just cant afford a vx5000 or something like that. Anyone have...

After doing a round of M105 and 205 tonight, I went back and looked over my work with more light. I have a few spatters of polish sitting on top of this pretty sheen. Is there any easy way to get these off? I have washed, scrubbed, tried using the IPA wipe but it doesnt budge at all. Any...

I am trying to find something to work on the interior... carpets and seats. I am looking at the Bissell Auto ProHeat and the Ridgid WD1450 shop vac. At this point I can only afford one or the other, and surely cannot afford an extractor, so if it were you, which would you get? I am leaning...

What all do you use this on and what kind of dilution do you use? I just got some mainly for tires, but I know it works on engines and other stuff as well. Just wondering what other uses you like it for and what dilutions. Thanks.

Thank you ALL for your input! I think you guys are converting me to the Megs Twins though, especially since the WG 16oz Combo doesnt seem to be around at the moment. So for light to intermediate swirls I should try a pass with a white pad, or two if needed, and 205? Try that first then go for...

Okay, I just learned something new.... again.... didnt know there were even different kinds of polishes. I guess I havent spent enough hours reading up on this, although my wife doesnt think so. Thats one thing I am "afraid of" when it comes to the polishing is that I will go too far too...

So are you saying if I am going by ease of application maybe it shouldnt be WG but Megs?

Well, I think I have decided to start out with the Wolfgang combo to start out with. Once I get the procedure down, and if I need something stronger, I will look into the Megz stuff. I think for the cars I will be doing the TSR should do the job. Thanks for all the info and suggestions, its...

Guess I should have added that info too. As part of my order I am getting the PC7424XP, so yes I will have a DA. The vehicles I will be working on are all just friends and family to start with, but after I get the hang of things I would LOVE to be able to get a good detail on the weekend on...

I'm still trying to decide which route to go as far as polishes/compounds. Can you give a newb some advice on which way to go please???? These are the combos I am thinking about going with. Please keep in mind this will be my first attempt at using a DA and polish. And if it matters, I plan...

Thanks for the replies! What would you recommended for the number of coats for the UPP with Sig II on top? One of each? One and Two, etc? Yes, this is my daily driver, but like everyone else, I still want others to salivate over the show car shine. Also, what would you recommend as the cure...

Thanks Killr. After posting I read a few more threads and found out glazes and sealants do not mesh very well. Another question I have is will the XMT #1 be ok as a final polish or should I try some Menz 85RD? Will the 85RD make that much of a difference on daily driven cars?

I know there are a million of these threads out there, and I have read a lot of them over the last few weeks as I am trying to put together an order. I am looking at the XMT PC7424 Light Swirl Remover Kit to start with. However, after reading some recommendations from other people's threads, I...
