    Spray Wax as a drying aid...

    After washing, and there's already a layer of lsp (wax lets say), doesn't the addition of a spray wax just add to the longevity of the original lsp?

    Spray Wax as a drying aid...

    Nice... 11 replies in 4 hours. Well done AG'ers. That's exactly my question - I didn't really see how it was a "drying" aid... doesn't really do much for drying really, but aids the drying process... whether it be with less streaking, or helpin the MF glide a little more accross the surface...

    Spray Wax as a drying aid...

    Can we get some conversation about how a spray wax can be used as a drying aid? I'm new to the hobby - now taking it to the "weekend warrior" level from just a car wash and doing tires.... Reading a review on Meg's Spray wax, people stated they use it as a drying aid. How? Does it go in a...

    Any PC 7424xp cord mod?

    Just FYI, there is a rubber "sleeve" for lack of a better word where the cable goes into the PC (see photo) that I had a very hard time fishing through my 14 g extension... super tight fit. I doubt a 12 g would make it... unless you didn't plan in using it after your mod. As it was, I had to...

    Any PC 7424xp cord mod?

    Brantford... about a 40 min drive from you. Again, for 25' - all you need is 16 g, but I like to go "just a little more" then what I need, so 14 g. For $2-3, no point in not getting the next best right?

    Any PC 7424xp cord mod?

    It's all about amps drawn from the machine... and making sure you have the right gauge wire and length combo for what your using. (See chart) The PC 7424 uses 4.5 amps. Most guys want to upgrade to a 25 ft cord... at my local hardware store, they were having a sale on a few cords, so I ended up...

    what comes first, spray wax or QD?

    I just want the spray wax to "top up" my coat of wax that would have been put on the car several weeks ago as a "boost". figured the QD (UWW+ in my case) would be the way to go to take of LIGHT DUST... foam cannon/2 BW for anything more. Just makin' sure i'm on the right track.... thanks

    what comes first, spray wax or QD?

    Not right after... like two days later, or a week later etc. Just to get a light dust off the surfaces.

    what comes first, spray wax or QD?

    When wanting to remove a light dust on the hood and there's already a layer of lsp on, what comes first, QD or spray wax? I would think the QD right... as you want the wax to be on a nice clean surface. I just read on another site that a guy is using the spray wax to remove dust with a MF, but...

    How to use Poorboy's Blackhole corrrectly?

    I thought I had finally found a product that had no correction ability that I could use on my car to remove lsp (as I'd do it with my PC) before laying down my lsp.... Then I read this. Just to confirm, with a white or black pad, it wouldn't remove a 2-3 month old/failing lsp?

    Meg's D151 - can it be used too much?

    I agree, I don't want to do more then one correction a year... With that said, what can I use to remove all of the lsp (ensure it's all removed) before applying a new coat? I know by polishing it, this will ensure that it's all gone, but what product will do this, still allowing a coat of wax...

    Meg's D151 - can it be used too much?

    With D151 having the option to be "toned down" with the use of different pads, could it be used with a orange/white pad to remove swirls initially, and then as a polish by using a black pad 2-3 times a year after that with messing with the CC? To remove lsp before re-applying a new coat? Also...

    When to use an AIO?

    What I'm really looking for is a product that I can use with a PC when my lsp is fading, needs to be removed, and to bring back a brilliant shine to metallic black paint, before applying a fresh coat of either max wax or Collinite 845. I think I'm sold on Meg's D151 for my initial product, but...

    WOW, that is much different then I thought it would be... thanks for the pics. Really, by just looking at that, I don't see any other way then to cut/soldier together the new wire. Snip th black and whites, and soldier the new 25' extension cable to them... cover it up with shrink tube. There's...
