    Moving from PC to Rotary, Flex or Makita?

    So I've got a PC7424, and looking to upgrade to a rotary to save me time, not for a business or anything, just for friend's cars and my own cars to save time and over using my PC. I know the most recommended one for cross over is the Flex 3403, with a weight of 4.8lbs. While the Makita 9227 is...

    PC to apply DG 105 and Collnite?

    Can I use a PC to apply DG105? If so, which Edge pad should I use? I was thinking the white pad because DG105 is somewhat of a slight polish/sealant too. Then I should use Blue pad for Collnite right?

    Detail on Black 07 Camry SE V6

    I applied Liquid Souveran about 2 weeks ago, it has rained twice since then. I just did a quick wash and decided to take pictures due to it being a nice day. It only has 900 miles and has recieved XMT 360 once and Liquid Souveran once. I so need Souveran Spray Wax to use between these washes...

    Machine washing pads

    Can I just toss my Edge 2k pads all into the washer together? Set it on hot/cold with some liquid detergent and some XMT pad cleaner on it. Can I also toss both my wheel and washing SHmitts in there as well? I still soak all the above in hot water for about 10 minutes with dawn before putting...

    XMt #3 not abrasive enough for my new car?!!?

    I just got an 07 Toyota Camry Black SE. I've used the PC before on previous cars, but this is my first black colored one. First day, I notice some swirls, well less of a swirl and more of straight lines all around the car. So I assumed the dealer used their automatic washes and it made it...

    Claying with washing question

    Is it okay to do clay directly after washing the car? I mean, while the car is still wet? Can I just use that water and have a bottle of QD for extra lubricant in needed spots? I know some people do that to save time on jobs, but if it's for a personal car, would you recommend doing that? Any...

    Using counterweight with PC and Edge Pads

    I know it's been discussed that I'm not supposed to use the supplied counterweight that says "for use with 5" pads only" for the edge 2k pads, but it seems to work better for me. Without the counterweight, I could barely hold on at speed 5, not even mentioning speed 6. But then with the...

    Is XMT Glaze really necessary?

    I'm planning to do Klasse AIO+SG after my XMT Polishing then apply P21S at the end. Or would it be much better to do AIO then XMT Glaze then P21S. I know Klasse SG acts as a glaze as well, but is XMT Glaze a noticeable difference? Also, is P21S the best carnauba wax for lighter colored cars...

    Another which Polish to use thread

    I've searched around and couldn't quite find a thread to match my situation. I currently have Sonus SFX-2, Klasse AIO, Klasse SG, and P21S. I'm planning to get a PC7424HD in the spring, but I'll order the Edge2k pad kit because it's 20% off now. I have two cars that I'll need to clean, one...

    Looking for carpet/upholstery vaccum/cleaners.

    I need some tools to clean the fabric interior and carpets of my car. I just have some simple APC and brush it, but no vaccum to dry off the water and such. I've seen people use the ShopVac and Bissel's Littel Green Machine. I'm looking for a vaccum that can take up water and have the option to...

    How would I use touch-up paint/primer?

    I have some scratches and a few paint chips on my car. I've ordered primer, base color coat, and clearcoat 2oz brush bottles from paintscratch.com already. What are proper steps to apply everything? I know that I only need to use primer if the scratch gets up to the black metal, and some parts...
