I have a 2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo with heated and ventilated seats. They have little holes to allow for the ventilation. I have 2 questions. 1) How to clean the holes? There is a build up of some dirt/etc. in some of the holes. What would be the best method? I bought some Meguiar's...

Looks like they are both pretty similar. The PC has different size backing plates to allow for smaller 4 inch pads. The Megs comes with a 6 inch plate. Can the LC 3.5 inch plates be used on the Megs? I am new to machine polishing and from what I read, these 2 can do the job just fine. I...

I have a few cars that are in need of some detailing. I have a 2008 POrsche Cayman S with some swirls and water spots and a 2011 Cayenne Turbo with some swirls (from factory I assume) and already with a few water spots on the hood. I also have a 2010 Volvo C30 red with swirls and spots. I...

Any difference between microfiber towels for removing polish versus wax? I ran across some that say best for polish removal and some for wax removal (I mean buffing).

Does anyone know if Dodo Juice purple haze (or other) wax can be applied with a PC? I understand the lime prime can be applied that way. Unfortunately I have not been able to leave a message on their web site so I havn't been able to get a direct answer from them. Thanks Paul

Just joined this site. I didn't realize all the information out there regarding car care. I have been searching this site for the last 2 hours. There is a ton of useful information here. I have already decided to get a new dual action Porter polisher to replace my old Waxmaster. I plan on...
