So for the 2nd time in 3 years I'll be detailing my brother in laws black 4Runner. Heavy scratches, it's single stage paint. Last time I did it I used an orange pad on my PC and the Menzerna IP an FP II combo... which did quite good, took out a lot of the finer scratches and cleaned up the car...

So my first question right off the bat... what's the difference between these two models? I heard the XP7424 is an improvement in design and power over the original, but it's no longer listed on Porter Cables website. So is the 7346SP sander/polisher the replacement for the XP? If not...

Here's some pics of my baby after washing and waxing yesterday. Process went like this: -Washed with Duragloss CWC -Clayed with Mothers Cali Gold -Washed with Duragloss CWC -Applied Duragloss Polish Bonding Agent -Waxed with Duragloss Clear Coat Polish #111 -Topped off with a spray of...

Hello gang, looking to try Duragloss 105 and use PBA beforehand sometime in the next week. I've heard 105 is significantly better than 111 which I was originally going to get. Anyway, I'm wondering if I use Menzerna IP and FPII beforehand to do some polishing, will the results from those be...

So as I began polishing my bro in laws Toyota 4 Runner, I'm thinking it has single stage paint. After claying I began with Menz IP on a 5.5" white polishing pad and after part of the hood my pad is black (car is black) so I'm pretty sure now it has single stage. So I'm wanting to make sure I'm...

So I'm gonna do my full detail again in the coming weeks, was looking for some opinions on my plan: Wash (Gold Class) Clay (Mothers Cali Gold) Wash (Gold Class) Polish (Poorboys SSR 2.5) Polish (SSR 1) Polish (Wolfgang Finishing Glaze) Wax: Collinite 845 Top: Liquid Souveran How's...

So I have a few questions, quick easy. First, last year I used Poorboys SSR 2.5 and SSR 1 and I was pleased with the job it did on my galaxy silver Grand Prix, I just wasn't crazy about the amount of dusting left to clean out of cracks and crevices. But I'd really like to try something new...

1 - I bought a Powerball Mini. Now my wheels are painted and clear coated the same color as my car (a Galaxy Silver Pontiac Grand Prix) so any suggestions as to what to use with my PB Mini on them? 2 - Removing light swirls/scratches, I have a PC, my friend has PB's SSR 2.5 and SSR 1... he...

His sister I guess tapped the back wall of a garage and scratched the paint. I only have a cell phone pic of it, seems kinda rough. I don't really know what to suggest to him. If it was a fine scratch I said something like Scratch X might take care of it but from the pic, if I'm looking at it...

No, it isn't on the exterior paint, but it still scares me. I opened my trunk to see some minor rust spots right around the metal part below the rubber seal along my trunk down by the trunk latch and have no idea what to do to fix it. Should I take the seal off, sand out the rust and apply...

I bought a PC 7336 @ Lowe's a couple weeks ago, figured it'd be worth it since I get my employee discount w/ it, and then purchased a Sonus SFX pad kit, a bottle of PB EX-P and a bottle of Liquid Souveran. And I still have my bottle of Sonus SFX-3 polish that I've used twice (it's the older...

So I plan on buying some stuff soon, a Porter Cable included, but I'm unsure of what to go with. I've used Gold Class and TW PUG on my Grand Prix (liquid versions of both) and want to buy a PC. Already have a bottle of SFX-3 for polish, but I'm unsure of if I should try something else out. So...

So I did a full day of detailing yesterday. Here's what I did: 1. Wash car with Auto Armor Car Wash Concentrate (this stuff I get from the dealership for free) 2. Clay bar with Mothers Cali Gold Clay Bar Kit from Autozone 3. Wash car again (both washes I used a Sonus Ultimate Wool Wash...
