    Which car cover (on a budget)

    I need to replace my cheapo Budge car cover I bought a couple of years ago. It's not guarding against water or dirt well and it's gotten torn in a couple of places. Right now, I'm looking at the Weathershield, Noah, and Evolution covers. I'd like to get the Weathershield HD, but it's really...

    Should I buy a PC?

    Guys, I have a cheap Vector rotary buffer, but I'm considering buying a PC. I can decently use the rotary, but it's always alot of work because of the splattering. Also, its really more than I need for an occasional polish of my car. Would getting a PC be worth it, or maybe a cylco? I'd...

    Buffer residue haze

    In the middle of buffing with the rotary, but I'm having a terrible time removing the dried residue after buffing. I'm using finesse-it, and I can get most of the residue off, but there's still a thin film of buffing residue that I can't get off with water and my microfiber cloth. I can kind...

    Fine Scratch problem

    This is my first post to this site, although I've been interested in detailing for quite a while. A few months ago, I took the plunge and bought a rotary buffer. Since then I've researched how to use it, knowing that rotarys can cause big problems if you don't know what you're doing. Today...
