Default First time using a PC!

Here's some pics from my detail day

The products I ended up using (due to time constraints):

NXT Wash
Clay
NXT Wash
#83 with PC
#9 with PC
NXT 1x with PC, removed with ultimate bonnet.

I'm still getting the hang of the PC. Need to read up on techniques for removing some light sunbursts.

Hey guys I just wanted to let yall know that Lowes has gone down on their PC 7336SP as of the other day. I been wanting to buy one for so long, and something told me to look up Lowes again and sure enough they are 99.99 now! Plus, if you sign up for the new movers you get 10% off that. Go to Lowes and ****** one up now, cause theres no way you will find one at that price anywhere. Trust me, Ive looked every single place possible. Even used ones are going for like 70-80 bucks with no warranty.

I got mine through a special at Meguiarsonline.com. For the month of September, you get the Meguiars labeled PC 7424, flexible backing plate, and their M-8006 polishing pad for 149.99. This is $75 off their normal price. The reason I decided to go with the Meguiars labeled version, they have a lifetime warranty on theirs. I believe the normal Porter Cable warranty is only 1 year. A few extra bucks for a lifetime warranty seems worth it to me.

That appears to be Meguiar's Professional clay. You can find it where Meguiar's Professional products are sold (www.meguiars.com). Another good clay is Clay Magic, which can be found at Auto Zone.

There are only a few clay manufacturers, so the differences aren't too big.

Hey... your Porter Cable works sooo good, it smeared your liscense plate numbers.
Or was that your Personal Computer that did that?
Car looks great.

Ok, you should over your services to local car lots.

Hot glue your fuse panel cover ....You need the magic touch to get that puppy to stay on. I usually pretend that I'm shoving a pie into someone's face, and it always seems to stick.
