I am fully confused!! I have researched and researched and can't figure out the difference. The poli-seal says it a one step product that removes swirls, polishes and protects. The Polish says that results vary depending on the pad. CONFUSION!!! Which one should a person use? I am looking...

I didn't have a paying detail this weekend so I worked on a buddies truck for him. It's a '91 Mitsubishi pickup and hasn't had anything done to it except a wash now and then. The pics aren't the best but the truck really looks a lot different in person. It's all dented and scratched and the...

My fiance got me my first set of business cards for XMas. She had no idea of what design I wanted or what I was going to call my business or anything. She totally went off the cuff and came up with something on her own. She knows that this will not be my "final" business card..but it's a great...

Hey there fellow Autopians!! I have been taking really great care of my cars for years and am just now understanding what I have been missing in the detail arena! The stuff I have been doing to cars all these is really nothing more than washing and waxing...LOL!! I have done it consistently...

Is this a waste of time? Are there cleaners in the Meg's that will take the DG off?

I am getting ready to buy a 7424 and found one on Autogeek w/pads for $179.00 My question is: How are the Porter Cable brand pads? I am new to this so would they be a good place to start or a waste of time? I am also looking at the E2K pads. Money is kinda tight this close to the holidays so...

Any benefit to staying with a new one as opposed to saving a ton of money on a reconditioned one? I will be using it for personal/friends use. Don't make my living with it. Thanks!!
