First of all I guess I want to ask this. Is poliseal ok to use to clean paint every so often? Not to use it for correction but just to clean it up and leave a bit of protection? I have never tried it with the rotary and I want to. Should I use a white pad or black pad? What rpm? I used...

Where do you guys get your glass towels? Im currently using a small cobra WW but I want to get away from that. it eats up my product and i want to save it for drying. Id like to use MF but does it matter if they're made for glass or just use a regular one? looking for something that comes in...

Is there any issues with using a wax on top of poli seal? I was gonna use 2 layers of IW845. If there is what can I do, I use it to clean the paint and some minor blemishes.

So im out in the garage today to get the hhr ready for winter. I figured id go ahead and try out my onr sense ive had it all summer and never touched it. Put in some cap fulls of solution with a couple gallons of water and used a grout sponge for the first time. Id have to say I felt retarded...

Does anyone use this? I was thinking of getting a bottle of Megs PlastX to try until I saw this. Any opinions?
