    Hey All,

    Wow, so much info to absorb! I recently decided to streamline my car care products and chose to go primarily with Meguiars (duh!).

    I have a couple of questions to start:

    1. I have a cheap-o ($20-30) 6" orbital buffer that I used once like 4 years ago. I remember not liking it but can't remember exactly why. I have been doing all polishing and waxing by hand. I've become infatuated with the G110 but am hesitant to drop the cash because of my past experience. Is the G110 money well spent or should I give another go with the old orbital?

    2. My Mustang has some mild to moderate oxidation. I tried some TurtleWax polish last year with poor results. What is a good Meguiars product to use for this? I'd like to know what product to use by hand and what to use should I invest in the G110.

    Thanks!

                1. The cheaper orbitals wont have the power to remove defects. So as far as spreading a mild cleaner and wax, you could do it, but it wont be good for defect removal.

                2. By hand, it sounds like you would want #105. By G110 would be #80 and #83.

                  The only reason some people get lost in thought... is because it is unfamiliar territory for them.
