Haha fo sho. I've been so swapped with work, I haven't had time to clean it. If anything I'll bring my orbital polisher, let you barrow it so you can get some of your other work done.

Hello prop's to you for trying to make a coouple extra buck's . But my opinion on pc's , orbital's, duellies & high speed buffing is they all have a serious downside to them . They all leave what proffesional detailer's refer to as imaging (mild swirls) when the wax deminisious or washe's off. So by hand is the safest way for our car's since the paint is far from perfect & not durable so by the new wax junkie doing this by hand is your benny . Oh and yes i do this for a living also & im very succesful wtih this as a proffesion .

Hmm.. Great input! It makes more sense what you're saying.. cause in the w/w forum they're always like "PCPCPC!! Get one now!" but it's nice to here a different opinion.

Thanks!

Back when clay bars were first invented.. it was pattented, and so all clay bars are essentially the same.

(Got that info from MikeyC, an avid Wash/Wax wacco)

Dude, I spend around 7-15 hours over a span of three days, and I have a PC.
