    Selling my Porter Cable DA, looking between a Makita 5000 and Rupes Mille

    Already own a Dewalt and Flex PE 8 rotary polishers for boat(occasional car usage) Looking to see which of the two would be best to use primarily for just general car polishing. Any heavy defects I will use one of my rotary tools. Any input is appreciated! Good to be back on the forums again!

    Not new, but back to posting here

    Been a long time since I have posted on these forums. I thank Autopia for showing me the light on keeping my ride clean as can be. With my new car ride(Yes another sporty honda manual :)), I look to continue my ocd detailing habits.

    Best vaccum cleaner for carpet?

    Been out of the game for awhile. Been using my little shop-vac for carpet cleaning. I realize though, that it doesn't have the strength to pick up dirt like my dyson vaccum does for the home carpet. Wondering what vaccums you guys are using that have better efficiency at picking dirt up...

    BUY A PC NOW IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE, porter cable just got bought out.

    If you think im kidding, this is not a joke. Porter cable was bought out by black and decker(they make dewalt), so they are either going to get rid of pc, or cheapen them up. The best advice i can say is to noobies, " Get your pc now while the pc quality is still there."

    What to use on jetski hull?

    Ok guys, last year I used collinite fleetwax on the bottom, and it seemed to do pretty good. However, this year Im thinking about using the klasse twins on the bottom and #16. The jetski will be sitting on the hoist all summer, so the hull wont get washed as much(though I plan to sometimes)...

    Update on #20 durability

    Well guys, I detailed my uncles silver focus last end of july with 2 coats of #20, and i just saw it today in the rain, and it still beads(bigger, but still does). Didn't test slickness(obviously bc i dont want to scratch it), but it still looks good on the beading part.
