I am trying to wash my car weekly in the quickest and easiest way possible while avoiding swirls as much as possible.
To me this made sense but some ONR gurus might have better input

I have tried D151 on several cars by rotary at 2.5 on the makita
It has caked up very quickly and left really bad holigrams
what am I doing wrong
used a yellow LC pad
even on the PC with a soft pad it dries up very quickly

does spraymaster make clear bottles or only gray?
This Jeep came to us after it had been sitting for a while as you can tell by the pics. It has just under 300,000 miles so it has been through a lot but is still in great shape.

Everyone seems to like the PC DA so I purchased one of autogeek
Now I am thinking what can the DA do that I can't do with a rotary?
The rotary can cut heavy swirls more easily and quickly
And with ultrafina I can finish down with no holograms and even jewel the paint
so where does...
Tell me if this makes sense or if you guys know of a better technique.
obviously each car is different but as a general rule of thumb does this make sense
105 on wool to cut heavy swirls(if necessary)
followed by 205 via PC to remove micro marring defects and polish to high gloss(...
what kind of extension cords are you guys using
A nice extension cord is really nice and often overlooked
im using a shorter version of this rigid one and want to upgrade to a thicker gauge, better for your tools
any suggestions?
