    PC speed 6 = Ludicrous speed?

    I am having a hard time using speed 6 on my PC 7424. It seems like there is a very large jump in speed between 5 and 6. And one jump, in fact - the speed doesn't change at all while I'm moving the adjuster after passing 5 until I hit 6 and then it just starts going at LUDICROUS SPEED. The...

    First exterior detail - 2003 Honda Pilot

    This is my wife's badly swirled black 2003 Honda Pilot. I am very new to using the PC so everything didn't go as smoothly as it could have :) But, it looks much better than before. Here are the products I used: - After washing, clay with DP clay - Megs #83 w/orange pad - Megs #9 w/orange...

    Five Star Shine - "Never wax again!"

    Just saw an ad for this. What is this exactly? Is it technically a sealer? How can they claim it lasts 5 years? http://www.fivestarshine.com/

    How to polish small spaces PC can't reach?

    I'm wondering how to polish small spots I can't get to with the PC, like inside the "H" emblem on the back of my wife's Honda Pilot. There's lots of exposed paint visible through the emblem. Can I use the polish I have by hand (Megs #83, #9, etc)? Using what applicator? Thanks.

    Can someone explain what a sealer is for?

    I'm trying to figure out exactly how to use a sealer. I have gathered that it goes on after polishing, and before wax, and it may take 24 hours to cure. Is that correct? How is a sealer applied? What happens if you *don't* use a sealer, and just put wax on after polishing?

    Do your kids ever sabatoge you as you work?

    I have 2 boys, 2 and 5 years old. Usually it's something like coming up behind me when I'm busy with a little detail and picking up as many suds as they can from the bucket, then wiping it all over the car I'm NOT washing at the moment. Yesterday my 2 year old took my wash mit out of the...

    Meguiars #9 swirl remover?

    Is this actually a polish? I have ordered some #83, can I follow that with #9 or should I use something else? I also ordered some Wolfgang finishing glaze. Would this do the trick?

    Tape edges when using a PC?

    Do you need to tape body panel edges while using a PC to polish or only when using a rotary? I thought it applied to both but I have seen several example videos of people using a PC right at the edge of body panels with no tape. Do you just tape off plastic pieces then? Thanks!

    Amazon 7424 + pads kit

    Hi all, I've decided to purchase a PC and it's all a bit confusing! I found this on Amazon, it includes a bunch of pads but I don't know if these are good ones or not: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AP4VUA/ref=pd_sbs_hi_1/102-4988558-6822557?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=15684181. Should...
