I was wondering if there was an equivalent to these Meguiar's videos online http://www.bettercarcare.com/articles.php?articleId=31 but geared toward the PC instead of the rotary.

If anyone is in the Mississauga area, I just discovered a couple of places at Square One that carrys stuff: 1) The Barbershop carries all Zaino stuff as well as 3M Swirl Remover and Zaino Clay. 2) Car Buffs carries all Auto Glym stuff plus all Zymol stuff.

I was helping my friend with his white car today. It was pretty neglected so there were lots of swirls to be removed. It was the first white car I've detailed. I couldn't see what the heck I was doing. The DACP and Menzerna FP II both looked white once I was polishing them in with my PC...

I recently used #80 speed glaze followed by Menzerna FMJ. I now want to see what it would look like if I applied AIO between the two. ie. #80, AIO, FMJ. If I just applied AIO would it clean off the FMJ? If that is the case then I can save a few cleaning steps by just doing AIO then FMJ.

I've found that NXT and FMJ both attract lots of small dust particles. Do polymer sealants naturally collect more dust than carnuba waxes?

How do I determine which speed to use with my PC? Is it based on the pad type (i.e. color) , on the product being used (e.g. DACP, #9, etc) , on the condition of the finish (e.g lots of swirls) or all of the above? When searching around the site I see quite a difference in speeds for what...

My friend wants me to clean up his 13 year old white Toyota Celica. It is badly oxidized and I'm assuming it's a single stage paint. I'm assuming that my PC pads will get white paint all over them and was wondering if they would come clean afterwards?

Well, after much running around and looking all over the place I was finally able to find Waffle Weave towels in Canada. They are available online at http://www.eshine.ca Other places that I've found stuff in Canada: http://www.carcaresmart.com Canadian Tire - consumer auto...

I want to do some tests between some of the different waxes and sealants I have. However, I want to strip them off without having to re-polish (i.e. grind down my clearcoat) every time. What's the least abrasive polish I can use to remove just the sealant and/or wax combinations that I have...

Just wondering HOW dirty my clay bar should get before I stop using it. I'd like to actually SEE an example of how dirty it looks before you stop using it.

My PC 7336 is arriving next week and I need to get some pads and a backing plate for it. I'm in Canada so I'm kind of limited in where I can get pads. I did, however, find a couple of good kits at carcaresmart.com. One kit has a 5" backing plate and 6" pads. The second kit has a 5"...

Ok, now assume that I have done the following: - wash/dry - clay - polish (#83 DACP) to get out my big swirls - polish (#9 swirl remover) to get out the smaller swirls - glaze (#7 show car glaze) to make it purdy - sealant/wax (NXT Tech Wax) to protect and make it purdier...

I just got NXT today. Here is what I did: - clay - #83 DACP - #9 swirl remover 2.0 - #7 show car glaze - NXT I noticed once I got the car outside that there a couple of places where I streaked the #7. Is it possible to remove JUST the NXT so I can re-apply the #7 again? Or do I have...
