New Car

[intravino]

Hello Gang!

It's been several years since I did not do any serious detailing.

I did learn airbrushing and minor car painting (blending and touch-up) with a air gun the last years and I was too busy to do some detailing on my old car.

I do own a rotary buffer (Porter-Cable 7828) and a DA (PC 7424). I own also a Hutchins sander.

I've been a Fan of Meguiar's since 1991 but I am rusty and I really don't know their new products.

I just purchased a new car, I got it Tuesday and It's in my Garage.

My Questions are:

What would be the best product for my new car?

How do I apply that product?

How come the prices of the rotary buffers went so low (under $ 150)?
I paid my mine about $ 300, 10 years ago.

Thanks,

Intravino

Re: New Car

What kind of car?

My Questions are:

What would be the best product for my new car?

Do you mean which wax would be best for your new car?

All our waxes work great so any one of them would be a great choice except for the strong cleaner/waxes as a new car should have paint in excellent condition.

May look at Gold Class, NXT or M26?

How do I apply that product?

You can apply a liquid wax with your PC and either a polishing pad or a finishing pad on about the 3.0 setting.

Don't know. I paid $265.00 for my first Makita in 1988 when I went to work for Meguiar's. Maybe supply and demand?
