Hi! i'm pretty new here but I've been trying to read up on all I can lately.
I'm planning on buying a PC asap, but there are so many different pads, compounds, polishes, and waxes I really need some direction. I guess my first "detail" would be my brothers camry (in the pictures) and he has some heavy oxidation (or at least thats what i think it is). As far as I understand, a rotary should be used but a PC can do the job? What products would you recommend? The more information the better!
As for the car its pretty bad. I don't think he washes it and just lets things get caked on. Thats the only real spot with oxidation so I figured whatever works with that should fix up the rest of the paint.
Also, I drive a black car and it has a good amount of swirls and scratches. I want to get them out and maintain my car like all of you do. Would you recommend different products for my car? If so, which ones? I want a deep glossy shine and i'm willing to do the work to keep it that way.
last question! for being a first timer with the pc, what kind of results should I expect? I think I've read all I can, but I'm really nervous about it. I've read that its hard to really damage the paint with a pc, but I have no experience so I don't know how true that is for myself. I was really hoping if there was someone in my area (southern ca) that could show me the ropes after I get my order in. That would be awesome!
Thanks for your help everyone. This place has been full of information and really a great and friendly forum. keep it up.
