I am trying to find the best combo for my car and truck. I use s100 and love how it goes on and comes off soo easy. I also like using eagle wipe and shine. It keeps the paint slick. I used a clay bar on my expedition the other month when I was washing it but then later on when I was using the s100 I had a lot of clouding? Some people have told me I need to use a polish or something before the s100? I have the 3 step meguairs but hate the pre cleaner and hate the polish.



Can someone recommend a good polish I can use before s100 that does not cost a arm and leg. Also why does the paint have cloudyness in it?



I am thinking about getting a PC combo package from here. I have never had a good experience with a buffer/polisher?? Thanks
 
guys, i guess I am going to have to look up the ones you have suggested. I have teh nxt spray. I have a mothers pre cleaner that works good.



Do i need to use the clay, pre cleaner, polish, and then s100? Man thats a lot of steps.



Are there any good specials on the PC? I was reading and one model had a better counter weight than the other? Does anyone know the model number of th best.
 
Hey man....nice to see another v6p.net person over here. I would go ahead and get the PC. It makes polishing really easy and you get a nice even finish. VM would definitely clear up your paint, it's my favorite final step before waxing. For more troublesome scratches a stronger polish is needed. I like to use the 1z Ultra Polish(will remove heavy scratches and swirls), or the Paint Polish(removes normal to moderate swirls and scratches.....then follow up with VM for a nice final gloss and S100 for protection.
 
yea Vanilla Moose is really easy to use....easier than s100 by far..



Where is N.C. Nashville? Is that like North Central....or is there a Nashville in North Carolina...lol
 
hehe that's a long ways....if you show up in your Accord with PC in hand at my door.....i'll show you how to use it.....:-)
 
pmed you.



well tried but your pms are full

here is what I was going to pm you

if I get the pc 7424

what pads would you suggest to use. I know they are colored. I want to still use the s100 because its so easy to put on take off. I have mothers pre cleaner. I guess I need so type of polish to put on it after the pre cleaner. I hate the step 2 on the meguairs. The 3rd step is good. is that the same as the s100 a carnuba wax?
 
oops...i had no idea why i stopped getting PM's lol.....



I suggest the lake country pads. I would get 2 yellow cutting pads and 2 white polishing pads.



I've never used the mothers pre cleaner before so i can't really say much abou it. A paint "cleaner" isn't really necessary, any polish abrasive enough to remove your swirl marks and any other blemishes is where you should start.....once you have removed your swirl marks you can use your finest least abrasive polish for a final gloss...then you can wax.



I would get einszett polish(which one you need depends on the severity of your paint defects) and vanilla moose . I know for sure that those work easy. In fact if you need microfiber towels.....you can get vanilla moose through the same guy that has the towels(e-mail Ranney at pakshak)

Check out Coastal Tools for a great combo deal on a PC. I ordered mine and had it in my hands 2 days later. GREAT customer service also.

guys is looks like costal tool has the pc for 119.00 plus you get

Coastal Tool

Bonus Kit Equipment

Because so many customers requested the hook & loop backing pad and 6" counterweight we decided to include it with the 7424 Polisher at no cost in this special package.

6" Hook & Loop Contour Pad #18002

6" Counterweight



is thatsomething I would have to buy anyway?
 
well you would definetly want to get a hook and loop backing plate (~12 bucks). Since they are adding a 6" plate you would then want to get the 6" counter weight to accompany it. Sounds like a good deal to me. I got my PC from lowes 7336sp for 109.00 which came with a 6" counter weight and i had to get a backing plate seperately so it came out to be a little more than the deal your looking at. See the definitive PC thread in the hall of fame for more info on PC accessories.
 
guys the one at costal comes with a standard velcro plate. Others sell the flexiable velcro plate with kits for like 49.99. Is there a big difference in the flexiable and non flexiable one?



Is there a big differene in the orange pad and the yellow pad. I have light to light medium swirls in my paint. Not really bad.
