Well i figured that i would give some of my new products a try tonight. The test vehicle was my beater Jeep. I have taken it off road many times and the paint has gotten pretty scratched up. Tonight was the first time i really used a rotary and the first time i have used a wool pad. To me the...
Hi everyone. I want start off by saying that i have learned a lot more about detailing cars on this site than i ever thought there was to learn. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to post on here and teach people like myself. I have been detailing my own car and friends cars for about 5...
This was my first time detailing a car that was not my own in about two years. I realized after seeing this car for the first time that not everyone takes care of their vehicles properly. This bug is owned by a senior in high school. My dad works with her mom and her mom really wanted it to...
A lady i work with asked me today if i could get rid of mold inside a car. I guess her daughter left her convertable top down and it rained and she never dried anything out. Now there is mold in the carpet. Can this be cleaned and taken out or will the carpet need to be replaced? What do i...
I got these products from a paint store near my house probably a year or so ago.... Just wondering if anyone has used them... I like the Final detail cleans the paint up nice after dusting it and leanves a very slick paint surface. The S-Dressing i love, i use it on my tires, lasts a long time...

I just picked up a porter-cable 7336 and i picked up a few more pads.... They are white pads and are 6". I picked up one yellow pad because the guy said that it was like a cutting pad. Do i use the yellow pad for the #9? Do i use the white pads with the DC Polish and NXT wax?
Also...
I'm going to be buying the 7336 PC from Lowes. What do i need to buy with it to be able to use is as a buffer? What pads do i need? Can i buy the pads locally to? Thanks.
