    can i wax my rims?
    Yes, though a little wax wont protect anything from rocks.

    i have fine swirls on the front bumper mostly and also around the car..what should i do? my brother has a nikkita?
    A what? Do you mean Makita? If it is a rotary buffer, you'll want to stay away from that for now.

    should i buy that G110?
    You could, or you could try by hand. More work of course, but its up to you?

    im using the NXT 2.0 wax in a can to wax a car (easyer with a buffer) do they make wax ina bottle? i think they do i just dont know what it is
    Yes, there is Nxt Tech Wax 2.0 in liquid form, should be easier to find than the paste really....

    Just let us know if you are sure you want a machine, since of course it costs a lot more up front to get everything to go with it. Or if you want to try by hand first.

      Yess makita sry..I really would like to use the G110 cause by hand takes very long..but okay cool i can wax the rims, yes i know they cant save me from rocks but wax would help with swirls and protect the powdercoat....Yea all over the car it has spider swirls nothin bad but i just wanna eliminate most of them , really the front and rear bumper and trunk lid..I know everytime you buff your taking off little clearcoat...so just tell me what products to buy , that #7 looks like somthing i have to get also....Also whats the difference between cleaner wax and a polish wax? i have colorX witch is a clearner wax if i remember, but it also does a polishing too at the same time right? just not sure whats the difference thanks guys...

        so just tell me what products to buy ,
        The best place to start is usually at autodetailingsolutions.com They have a few starter packages, or you can mix and match your own. Generally speaking, you would want:

        - G110, Backing plate, Polishing pad
        - Case of 6 Soft Buff 2.0 pads - 1 Cutting, 3 Polishing, 2 Finishing
        - Then choosing either #80 Speed Glaze or #205 Finishing Polish for your mild polish
        - #105 for a stonger polish. You should need less of this, no more tha na quart.

        that #7 looks like somthing i have to get also....
        - If you would like to try #7, it is optional, but would be used after the #80/#205 and before waxing.

        Also whats the difference between cleaner wax and a polish wax? i have colorX witch is a clearner wax if i remember, but it also does a polishing too at the same time right?
        A cleaner/wax will clean, polish, and wax in one step. (Cleaner/Wax, ColorX, #6, #66, D151, #20)

        A cleaner/polish will polish and wax in one step. (#80, #205, SwirlX)

        A polish wax will polish and wax in one step. (Gold Class Wax)

        Remember that cleaning is removing dirt from the paint, while polishing is simply adding oils back to the surface of the paint.

          If the wheels have fresh paint on them you might want to wait a month or two before applying a wax or sealant on them.
