Ok thanks. I'll pick some of that up. What steamers should I look at? I am on a budget and most I have seen are in the 600-up range. Anything less expensive that is decent? It will see some use but not tons of it.

What is everyone using to clean the carpets and seats? Steam cleaner or a bissell type machine? Will not see heavy use but something to spot clean with. I currently use my big one from the house and it is a pain. Thanks for the suggestions

I usually clean the pad on the fly after 2 panels maybe? I turn the polisher on while pushing on a terry cloth towel. After I am finished with the pad I usually wash them off in the sink, and then throw them in the washer. I don't usually wash anything else with them.

That is what I was looking for. What is the best way to clean the pad after a section pass? I don't typically do it after each section pass.

Curious how many uses typically you get from a pad? How many pads you use on a car? I feel like my pad gets saturated fast and it seems the pad doesn't work/feel so great after I use on a car, then wash the pad. Suggestions, advice? Hard to find good information on product/pad use after that...

Great! Thank you for the input. I have a couple of pad questions also. Would I do that under this section? Or is there a better section for those questions?

That's the stuff I wanted to hear about the buffer. If you are getting ready to polish is it a bad thing to have more of that lubricity? Wasn't sure if left a film on the paint that wouldn't mix well with the polish, wax, etc..

Great information. Thanks. I have watched the video about the different buffers but they basically just tell you about them. I know they are similar but I am sure everyone has their own preference. I actually have one of the first PC so it is pretty old. At times I feel like it doesn't have the...

So this year I am thinking of trying out a no rinse system this year instead of freezing. I have never tried before. Is it safe? Brand preference? What all will I need? While I am asking that question I figured I would ask another. I currently am using a Porter Cable and have used it for...

I said can anyone tell me if they are good.. Lsp? Not familiar with all the abbreviations yet. :)

Do you guys know if the dp compunds are any good? I know the other ones are really nice, but they are pricey. I am doing a decent amount of daily driver cars. Obviously if they are will to spend the money I will use the great stuff. I just don't want to have over kill. You know?

Funny you say that... I was just reading on that very thing! Im not sure which one to go with? I have to place my order by tomorrow to be sure it gets to me by the weekend. Ugh... I can't decide what to go with. Which pads do I go with on the compounds? I use a yellow one most of the time now.

Thanks for the advice. I think I am confused on something. I have done compound, polish, then wax.. Am I missing a step?

Not sure where to ask this so figure I will start here. I have some older friends who have asked over the years to detail their cars (mine is always nice and clean), but for the most part I have declined. Now I am thinking about taking them up on the offer for some extra cash. These people are...
