    Can I polish 3 week old paint

    Is it ok to polish (not wax or seal) new paint (3 weeks old)? I know not to wax the car to allow it to release some chemicals, but I just want to polish (no wax) it to remove some of the swirls in the paint. The polishes I have are Meguiars and Rupes. Thanks for any input.

    Electric sanders for autobody work

    Are there any good electric DA sanders that can be used to prepare body panels for paint? I know air is better, but I don't have a compressor (Sears 30 gal 8.6 scfm at 40psi, 7.8 @ 90psi) that would support an air driven DA. Or are there some decent palm sanders that my little ole compressor...

    I finally tried the Rupes pads

    and I am a convert. I tested the Rupes 21 with the waffle pads and the hex logic pads and I'm now convinced that the best pads to use with the Rupes is the Rupes pads.

    303 windshield washer tablets

    Ok. I saw these on AG and wondering how these work. I did some research and found 2 really old threads from 2008. Commentators stated that these tablets left a film (residue) on the paint once dried. So, do these tablets work and do they still leave a film (residue) on the paint when dried...
