First time poster - long time lurker.
I have been polishing and waxing my cars by hand for the past 35 years using various OTC products and would like to delve into the world of rotary polishing using Meguiars Pro Line of products. I just picked up the Chicago Electric (be nice - no jokes please) and purchased a variety of foam pads in varying grades and a 6" plate. I get the washing, claying and #83 and/or #80 but I'm confused on the order of waxing (NXT or #26 or whatever) and sealing (#21or #20). I've seen numerous personal preferences but which is correct - or is it just that personal preference. Does the order matter or does one get different effects based on the order and items used?
Also, I've seen the tutorial on masking the trim but I've seen competitors products which claim that their polishes and waxes will not stain the trim and there is no need to mask. Do the Megs products stain rubber and flat black trim? What is the difference in the composition of the product that causes the "staining"?
I'm sorry for these questions but the engineer in me causes me to over-analyze everything.
Thanx,
Pete
