Since spring is around the corner, I'm getting the itch to work on the car in the sunlight instead if the florescent lit garage. I'm working up an order and was curious to know what evenings spring clean up recipe is. I need a good paint cleaner so if anyone has any suggestions.

Not yet, I thought the pb prof polish would have had enough cleaner to take care of it. I'll have to try some metal polish, any suggestions on which one to use? Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2

I need some help, this past spring I bought a set of American Racing rims for the car and there's a machined aluminum lip around the edge of the rim. I haven't been able to buy another set of tires for my steel rims as of yet and recently cleaned the car and there are some stains on the rims...

The pad is the 5-1/2" size. Just thought from video's I've watched and seen that even when applying a wax I've seen the pad spinning. Maybe not. It still does apply the wax really nice and smooth though. Thanks guys

I recently bought the PC7424XP. I'm concerned that it's not operating correctly. Today I went out to put a layer of nattys on my car and whipped out a LC red pad with the PC. Primed the pad and put the speed to 3. I literally held it in one hand and let the weight of it do the work. The pad has...

If your windows are tinted will this still work? Will it affect the tint film at all?

Thanks for all the info Jim! Seems like once I think I know what I'm talking about I read something else and I'm in the dark again. Thanks again. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.

What pad would you suggest using if you were going to use this just for a pre wax cleaner? I was going to then apply EXP and then Nattys. Is this something that can be used 1-2 times a year when I completely detail the car(clay, polish/pre wax, seal, wax) Assuming the paint is in good shape.

Makes perfect sense. I was under that impression but wanted some reassurance from the pros.

If it polishes the paint chemically I would assume it would pull up old wax and remove blemishes/water spots. It wouldn't remove swirl marks, at best maybe hide them if it has a filler, would this be correct to assume.

I've read that PBW pro polish has no abrasives in it. I've also read that it's pad dependent. How does something without abrasives become pad dependent? Are most polishes considered a "pre-wax" cleaner. I know I've read an article I think written by Mike to take what the product does and go...

There are several packages that have combinations of the porter cable 7424xp including pads and either polish/wax/protection products or swirl removers. Do you know what your husband wants to achieve? Poorboy’s Porter Cable 7424XP Polish & wax Kit (polish & protect) Wolfgang Porter Cable 7424...

Wow, decisions decisions. I mainly started to think about these two because of the winter months and being from Chicago it gets pretty brutal and I'm not a fan of trying to use a frozen hose. I have a touchfree was down the street that only uses high pressure water and a foamy soap that I'm...

I did some searching and haven't found the answer yet...I'm having a hard time differentiating between a QD and a waterless wash. They seem to have many of the same characteristics. They both have lubricants and can remove light dust, fingerprints, or dirt. Both are supposed to leave the surface...
