Ever so grateful for the generous amount of info you share Mike!
I'm a sucker for definitions!
Are you aware of the buffing cycle for Scholl Concepts S20 Black?
OK so I did some more reading and for any other noobs that may be wondering:
There seems to be a difference in the way the terminology is used (I’m not surprised).
Some (like Mike) refer to the PC as a dual action since literally speaking, when you look at it, it BOTH oscillates as well as...
Hi all,
Here's my story:
1. Watched junkman vids on polishing. Decided to get the porter cable.
2. Realised it's not that readily available here in the U.K. But junkman said the DAS6 pro is, which is the UK version
3. Went on eBay found a cheaper DA which SEEMS to me to be the same as the...
You're the second person to warn me about using the m105 and m205. TBH I only thought of using them because of Junkman's video on polishing, but now I'm actually reconsidering. What do you think of a 2 in 1 polish that claims to be a compound and polish? There's one here in the U.K. That is easy...
Atm I spray the car with Valet Pro citrus wash including wheels. Then jet wash. Then I spray autoglym wheel cleaner and leave for a min or so then use a brush to agitate the muck on the alloys, then rinse. In between the wheels I just jet wash the brush I'm using. After I'm done with the whole...

a. Wash tyres and alloys (Ironx if skipping decontamination stage)

c. Wash rubber trims using APC or rubber specific cleaner like Adam’s Rubber and Tyre
3) Wash body...

4) Dry
B: Decontamination Stage
5) De-tar
6) Rinse
7) Dry
8) Ironx
9) Rinse
10) Clay
11) Wash again OR just rinse OR Just wipe down with QD...
Hi all,
Hope everyone is well :)
From all the reading that I've done here is what I have learnt about the order of doing things:
1) Pre-Rinse - Using a foam gun or Traffic Film Remover (whatever floats your boat)
2) Wash using two bucket method
3) Dry (MF cloths, or blow dryer)
4) Wax...
Thanks for having me Mike!
And a huge thank you for taking the time to answer my questions so thoroughly :)
Just a few things to note:
1) When you say "orbital" is that just another name for "Dual-action"? Atm I have three main categories in my head
- Rotary: Rotates, no oscillation...
Hi all,
I'm a beginner just starting out, bought a convertible a few weeks ago, in very good condition except the car has swirls on it from the previous owners washing it at those car wash places (at least that's what I think).
So my objective is to use a polisher that is SAFE for a noob like...
