Does anyone know a good place to buy used porter cables? Someone threw out my old 7424 when we moved :doh: . I don't have the money to purchase a brand new one unfortunately at the moment, but I need something to work on my car again......

Does this ever come across anyones mind? I dont like to clean my rims/wheel wells because of what stuff gets into the water runoff. Ive also been advised to not wash my engine bay as well because of this (all the oil/grease etc). Animals drink the water as do we correct? Does this make any sense...

I detailed my 2000 Mercedes C280 I recently bought this weekend. What a job! Took me around 20 hours total :o Sorry, no before pics, but the paint was in rough shape. Probably waxed once or twice in the 10 year period of the car (It was a Preowned Certified MBZ). The paint felt like gravel (not...

Can I use DG 105 on my alloy rims? They are not chrome, I just want to seal them and wasn't sure if I needed a special rim sealant or not.

Do I need to apply any pressure with this or can I just move it over the paint?

Hey guys I have a few questions. First, I cant get the micro scratches out of my ceramic paint (already were there) with my 7424 and orange pad. Do I need to get the yellow pads or is this possibly something out of the PC's ability? Also, when I use my Megs 105, it seems like its GONE after one...

and am THRILLED. It was my biggest order yet and as I opened it, I was surprised to see a full bottle of Griots Spray Wax! Also, a sample of liquid souveran and a sample of DP Foam Shampoo. I am amazed at the CS of Autogeek. Thank you very much and I won't forget this. Buyer for LIFE :buffing:

How well do these work? Went to my local K-MART the other day and saw them. They didn't have the bottle so I was curious if I could use these instead. Do they work well? Of course I will buff them clear with a MF towel.

Any suggestions? Im just looking for a one step POLISH, not an AIO. Looking at Powerfinish 203, but is there anything else that would work equally as well on ceramic clear coat? Looking for some suggestions as I am looking for something that would look nice without needing a finishing polish...

Which better/safest for applying waxes to a car without marring/scratching issues?

Hey guys, so I have chips in my paint that are rusted :(. What works best for cleaning these out. Dr. Colorchip reccomends "Rust Avenger" (Which I read is discontinued). Someone posted a "loc-tite" rust neutralizer as well, but Im not sure if that is save for automobiles. Any other reccomendations?

I saw we had an under $25 thread, but how about something even lower :dblthumb2:? Im on a budget and cannot afford the 3.0 WG (as much as I would love to). Id like to keep the sealant under $20. Any suggestions? How is Griots garage ($14.99), Duragloss ($10.99) and 3M ($16.99)?

How do I know if I need a compound or not (Megs 105)? My clear coat by MY standards, is in average shape. It is in need of a claying for sure and has many clear scratches (not remotely close to being felt by a fingernail).I see swirl marks as well. It hasnt been polished ever and is 10 years...

So I am going to be polishing my Silver Mercedes with my PC 7424 and Megs 105/205. My question is, is it even worth it to use a finishing glaze with the 7424 because of the lack of power? I thought I read that somewhere on here but wasnt sure. Chris

So I am getting ready to put my order in (20% off ROCKS :xyxthumbs:) and here it is: My question is, even with the 20%, the final price is on the edge for me. I have the Menzerna's which are HUGE and expensive. I will only be detailing my own vehicle and my parents vehicles. Mine is a...

Detailer Wanted in Raleigh, North Carolina Looking for a detailer to detail the interior of my vehicle that I am planning to sell. I would do it, but I do not have the time nor the products at the moment :(. Does anyone know of anyone (or someone on here :) ) that wouldn't mind helping me...

What do you guys reccomend. I was going to use po83 and po106fa from Menzerna, but they are a little too pricey for me right now as I am on a bit of a budget after buying a car. It is a Mercedes (pre nano paint) with moderate swirls. What do you all suggest?

Polish for a Mercedes? Hey guys, just wondering what combo of Menzerna I should use for my benz. It is a 2000 and has moderate swirls. This was before they used the nano paint I believe so it isn't rock hard. I will be using a white pad first, and possibly orange if the white isn't abrasive...

I have seen a few vids, but they never explain it well. When do you know when the polish is ready to come off? Does it look a certain way? Will time work the best (I read 3-5 minutes)? I suppose time would work best for a newbie correct?

Just curious as to why there isn't a for sale/buying section for people looking to sell their DA's, Rotarys, and other detailing products to good homes? Im looking for a used DA and was curious.
