    Reviews on XMT Compounds/Swirl Removers?

    Before opening for business my first year, I bought Poor Boy’s World SSR 2.5 Medium, a Turtle Wax compound, and Detailer’s Pride Polymer Paint Sealant. As you can see, I wasn’t really serious about polish work, partially because I have a lot of technique to learn with the Porter Cable. I...

    Orbital vs. Elbow Grease

    Call me a wimp, because I continuously talk myself out of going electric with my polishing. I’ve been doing it by hand since I started over four years ago and it seems to work just fine. But nearly every other detailer uses orbital polishers. I figure I’m probably missing out. :laugh: If...

    Meguiar's Plastx Alternatives?

    I've been less than impressed with Plastx, but other brands are more expensive and harder to find, so before I start banging my head against the product wall, does anyone have a never-fail-favorite? Or, if you're a fan of Meguiar's Plastx, any tips for achieving better results? Thanks! :)
