Sorry to jump in, but is it possible to use the polish from the Meguiars 3 step system with a PC?

Thanks, Mark.

I have read through that orbital vs. pc and the only real difference I saw was the size. Am I over looking something? Anyways I think I should get good results with the #80 speed glaze and a orbital buffer with a polishing pad. I do have one more question and that is where do I pick up the #80, I cant seem to find it in the stores?

Having used both an orbital and PC... The motion the machines make is basically all thats the same. The PC is more powerful, more power meaning the machine won't bog down. The PC has a variable speed control for the application of different types of products and the speed is higher than the orbitals that I have used.

An orbital polisher will make applying wax easier but its not going to remove defects like a PC will.

As for #80 you should find it at NAPA, CarQuest or other car parts stores. You may have to ask at the counter, I have found most keep a good supply of Meguiars at their warehouse rather than in store.

Ok thanks for the information. As for the orbital buffer I dont have to remove any marks so I should be good with that. I will have to check again with NAPA and see it they carry #80.

My buddy works for napa and he said they don't carry much at the store but the warehouse usually has alot of stuff there, they just got to add to the order list that comes up every night and could have it next day.

Important Note: After you locate a PBE Store in your hometown, upon exploring the store, if you do not find the Meguiar's product you are looking for, whether it be a Professional Line product or a Detailer Line product, but you do see other Meguiar's products in tan bottles with numbers, rest assure they can order the specific product you're looking for, simply ask one of the counter people if they can help you out.

Sometimes it will help if you have either a Meguiar's Professional Catalog with your are the part number for the product you are looking for.
