    Anyone know of an online PC video?

    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.

    How the **** do you see what you're doing on white paint?

    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...

    Will AIO remove FMJ?

    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.

    Sealants and dust?

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

    PC Speeds

    Oxidiation and pads

    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?

    What is the least abrasive polish?

    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...

    Which pad kit should I get?

    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"...

    Plastic colored bumpers

    Hello. I think I spent about 2 weeks reading all the messages in the various forums and didn't even make a dent in them. Anyways, I searched for "bumper", "fenders', "plastic", etc and couldn't find what I was looking for, so here's my question: Is it ok to clay, polish, etc plastic...
