Are you talking about a Griot's Garage polisher or the 7424?

I was using my 7424 today when it broke from the spindle. The spindle looks like it's only 1/8th of an inch thick. What a piece of junk. And I've had it for 5 or 6 years but I've only used it like 10 times. Does anyone know if the Griot's Garage Polisher is any good because I don't want to...

What kind of polish did you buy with your PC? If you got the XMT polishes, start off with the Orange pad and XMT #3 and follow it up with a White pad and XMT #1. When you start, be patient and make sure the polish is fully broken down before wiping it off. When I first got my PC, I wasn't...

D Nyholm, are you using a Porter Cable or a Rotary. It sounds like you're using a Rotary and not a Porter Cable.

Try using the Power Gloss with a Yellow pad. I had to polish a BMW X5 once and using that combo was the only way to get the severely neglected surface corrected. I followed the Power Gloss/Yellow pad with XMT #1 and a White pad and the results were awesome.

yeah, I like using the 3" spot buffing pads for use around the bumpers.

That package is a little pricey but if you could swing it, then that's a great place to start. You might want to wax your car as soon as possible since its been on the dealer lot and I doubt it has any wax protecting the paint.

I know what you're talking about. The same kind of swirls happened to me while doing a friend's Xterra. The hood has a mean curvature and while I was going over the curve with a 5.5 inch orange pad and XMT #3 and saw those circular marks in the crease of the curvature. I think it was caused...

Maybe the clearcoat on the car you were polishing was some hard stuff. I used XMT #2 with an orange pad on an Xterra and there was some considerable hazing. After switching to XMT #1 with a white pad, it got all the hazing out. I recently did a Mercedes CL where I used XMT #3 with an orange...

I would just start with the orange pad.

I agree Mother's clay is good stuff but they only sell the clay bar in a kit. It comes with the Showtime QD, a small bottle of cleaning wax and a small 2.8 oz bar of clay for $18 bucks. A little pricey if you ask me.

Thanks guys, Lexol it is!

Thanks for the reply guys. Hey pirex, I should've done this before I posted but I just checked out the VW website and the Touareg V6's interior is upholstered in what they call letherette. So I'm assuming that letherette is pleather so I pose the question again. Should I use the Lexol or...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here has cleaned the interior of a VW Touareg. I have to clean one soon and my client told me the interior was pleather which I'm assuming is plastic leather. My main question is do I use regular leather cleaner and conditioner on the pleather seats? I have the...

I agree with DatDude. I spray Stoner's Invisibible Glass on the windows, then I wipe with a microfiber towel and then buff all the streaks off with a dry microfiber and the streaks come right off. Before I discovered microfiber, I use to use a mini squeegee which would leave the inside windows...

hey, thanks for all the warm welomes from everybody. I love this forum and visit it everyday. btw dengood1, I know its only $600 now but thats all my budget allows for right now but trust me, I wanna go hog wild and buy all kinds of stuff.

Hey everyone. I recently registered to the forums and the email said why not go and introduce yourself in the Introduce Yourself forum so I'm glad to oblige. My name is Peter and I live in Fountain Valley, ca. I got into detailing because I work in Huntington Beach and have to park at the...
