    when to put on the EX-P

    About 5 weeks ago, I polished, put on 1 coat of EX-P and 1 coat of Nattys wax. Could I now put on another coat of EX-P, or should I just keep adding Nattys? In other words, is the Nattys gone after 5 weeks?

    cleaning the throttle plate

    Anybody ever do this? I read on another forum it is highly recommended to do. I looked at mine on the Escort and on the air breather it says "throttle plate has a special coating, do not clean". Should I or not? Will this help the car's performance at all??

    New Pc User

    Yesterday I went to Coastal Tool in Hartford, CT and bought a PC 7424 polisher. Came with a 6 inch backing plate and the weight for balance, $119.00. Also came with a white foam pad. Can I use this pad for polishing or should I order a set from somewhere?
