    Review: Crystal-Glo

    I purchased this Canadian company's product on the advice of 'BlackSunshine', a fellow Canadian (I guess I'm feeling patrioting lately?). Living in mid-western Ontario, winters can be harsh! Anyhow, I used my PC for the first time with SSR2 followed by SSR1, using 7.5" LC rotary pads (don't...

    My pad mixup, ver. 2.0 (thanks eShine!)

I went ahead and used them, however they vibrated pretty good because of the 7.5" diameter, and I think they were not as effective at DA pads would of been... Anyways, Chris over...

    My technique or my product?

    I polished my car yesterday, using my PC, BUT with 7.5" rotary pads, not the 6.5" DA pads... I also use SSR2 and 1...orange cutting pad with the SSR2 and a white pad with the 1. But this didn't alleviate all the swirl marks in the paint. It's much better than it was, but not the the level I was...

    Pre-wax Cleaner?

    Does Mothers Pre-Wax cleaner have any polishing properties to it? What about Mothers Glaze...does it have any polishing properties, or is it basically a filler... What product on the market would yield good results for removing light swirls by hand (no PC yet :( )?

    Clay bar!? Pffff....

    Well, I've had my Mothers clay bar system sitting here for awhile now, so I decided to give it a try on my SVT Focus... I followed the directions to a tee, doing a 2Ft. square section of my hood... The clay bar slides over the finish as smooth as you like... No grabbiness, or 'sound' of...

    Souveran paste or liquid?

    Seeing as there is a HUGE difference in price between the two, is the extra money worth it? Surely the paste has more carnuba in it, and the liquid has more 'polymers'...I'd prefer the paste to use on top of my Gold Class to enhance the depth, but is the liquid Souveran like a Gold Class type...

    Simoniz Electric Buffer...?

    My girlfriend's dad has a Simoniz 10" orbital buffer...brand new, still in the box. What is the general consensus on here about this $49 buffer? I know it has no where near the speed or travel of a PC, so does just basically mean it'll take more elbow grease and a pad with more cut to get it...
