Two weeks ago I picked up a PC 7424 on e-bay for $25.00 It needed a new power cord So I broght it over to a local service center where a friend of mine works....He gave it a once over replaced the power cord and some other parts and only charged me for the parts so another $20.00 and I was ready to rock and roll! A practicly brand new PC for $45.00 (Not a bad deal in my book)
Next I placed an order for a new backing plate and pads from Proper Auto Care. Where I bought (1 Yellow Cutting Pad, 2 White Polishing pads, and 1 Grey Finishing pad)
Saturday I detailed the exterior of my car. It was a dream it was a piece of cake to do. I think having the PC gives you the energy to do the job the right way. IE: taking the extra time to do the Door Jams, and the trunk ledge ect..
The steps I used.
I didn't clay becasue the car was very clean to begin with.

The car came out beautiful...I think its better than when I bought it BUT.... After the detail I took a step back and i noticed this streaking(for lack of a better word) but it really wasn't. It was more like you could see where the outside edge of the pad was on every pass! But this was only on the waxing step with the #26. Am I doing something wrong?
I also wasn't able to remove ALL of my swirling! I think that I could have used a more abrasive product but I figured with the Poorboys Detail day coming up shortly that It would probably be best if I left well enough alone and wait for the opertunity to learn from the pros!
