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?

I just make sure theres no dust or bird crap on it.
The way I see it is if it rolls people up, whats it matter what it looks like?

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.
