the best thing i ever bought for my fc

i finally did it and now im kicking my self for not buying it years ago. life is 1000 times better with it. the best thing i ver bought for my fc.....an orbital waxer!!!

usually takes a couple hours to get that 12 year old paint to shine. i did my vert and my z, complete washes and waxes in 2 1/2 hours. now ive got time to go fishing. lol

if you ever thought about buying one but said no i can do better by hand its no worth the 40 bucks. save yourself and run out and buy one right now!!

anyone agree?

You can never spend too much time cleaning your car!

goblue: Where did you get one for $40? These things are supposed to be great with polishing and waxing, since they can apply it faster and more evenly than a hand

Orbital waxers do kick ***! You can get a Craftsman one from Sears for around $30. I bought one once but unfortunately had to return it before I ever used it because I was extremely broke. I really want one.

orbital waxers are the only way to go. I used to work at a detailing shop for a summer, and i learned how to use them properly, yes there is actually a technique. If you really want your paint to shine, use a really fine grit sandpaper and wetsand the paint, clean it, wax it, seal it buff it. it will be like a mirror after that. don't press too hard on the buffer, if it is a good one it will burn paint easily.
