Hi From Indiana

**Wheelhorse** · 11-22-2010, 10:26 PM

Hello everyone. I'm 61 years young and love cars. I have four vehicals that I keep in really good shape. A 2002 Mazda Milleniam Pearl White with only 25,000 miles; A 2008 Toyota Tundra Red (love red) with 12,750 miles; A 1995 Corvette coupe Torch Red (did I mention that I love red

) with 61,000 miles; and lastly a 1998 Corvette coupe Pweter with 49,000 miles. I'm tired of polishing and waxing these guys by hand and would like to get some polishing, sealing and waxing products that would give these cars a "Car Show Shine". Soooo many products and DA polishers. I hope to decide soon on what to get. I belong to Corvette Forum and have learned a lot there. This site is great and I plan on purchasing from you. Thanks everyone for welcoming me.

Once you start polishing by machine you'll never go back to working by hand except for areas you can't get to by machine or for the enjoyment of hand polishing or hand waxing a cool ride like one of the Corvettes...

The Porter Cable 7424 XP is hands down the easiest tool to learn to use and master. Griot's and Meguiar's have their version of it and the trend into the future are more knock-offs of this age-old, time-proven work horse.

I whole heartedly recommend people new to machine polishing to look at the PC to start with, the design has been around for approximately 30 years and with millions of cars having been buffed out using these tools you can trust you're cars are going to come out looking great too...

I post some of my articles over there once in a while, I've been a member of CF since 2002, I remember when I first joined all the regulars were always talking about how soft the clearcoat is on new Corvettes, it was a common misconception because people think that because a paint scratches easily it's soft, and that's just not the case.

Paints can be very hard and still scratch very easily, it's called, Scratch-Sensitive, actually a term coined by Barry Meguiar.

Great to see you join our forum, we'll do everything we can to see you through to success in your garage.

We have our Detailing 101 and 102 classes coming up in January, maybe plan a trip to the Autogeek Show Car Garage and reduce your learning curve and time down to almost zero...
