I was using a 4in backing plate, so Ill order some 5.5in and try applying less product.

So I tried out my new PC DA over the weekend. I wasnt too pleased, but I'm pretty sure it's my fault and that you guys can correct my issues. So I washed and clayed the car and then all I planned on doing was testing it out on the trunk lid. I think my first issue was I started out using an...

Got my big birthday dinner tonight :-) then my first ever detail with my new PC on Saturday... Should be tons of fun

Checked the only close by car wash today and there sadly were no outside outlets... So I'm calling the local harbor freight today to make sure they have the inverter in stock... What are peoples thoughts on idle-ing the engine or not with a stock battery?

I should go check that out, great idea!

Ok now I've read that some people leave their car idle and some people just start it every 15-30mins... What would be the best practice?

Good to know, I don't need to hook a vacuum up or anything, I just want to be able to use my DA for compounding, polishing, and wax application/removal... I just have my stock battery, think I could get away with a 1000w ?

Am I right? and what is the best method for this? 1:1 in a pray bottle or a bucket solution and wash? Also when do you use...

Ok so not sure if this is the right section, but I need some help on a little bit of a different car problem. I have a chrysler 300 with tinted tail lights For those of you not familar with tinted tails, the most common (that I know of) DIY method is using an aersol "paint" known as...

Ok I like the idea of the 845 but ive read that wax wont stick to Rejex?

Thanks! ^ My other thought is I could still do the whole car saturday before the rain hits, and then so its get wet and dirty, in theory the paint sealant should protect the work I just did and then I can do a waterless wash when the weather clears?
