Breaking Wind....

Appologies in advance (for the actual topic of this post and the fact that it is NOT about flatulence) but I am about to buy a polishing machine and need advice as to what others use. This is the machine that I believe to be the best http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog....&SKU=10625 .
Does anyone use this? Suggestions as to alternatives? Also, what polish do you reccomend for use with a power polisher (is is best to use the same as when polishing by hand)? I'm interested in removing swirl marks (sapphire blue ) and need the easiest/fastest way to do this.

Yeah, baby.

That's what I have and it is awesome. Had the kid clay and wax the car with it and it turned out great.

Get it!!

Re: Breaking Wind....

A lot of guys swear by the Porter-Cable. There has been some discussions about it here and at .org. I would use products specifically for a high speed buffer/polisher. 3M has a good line of products for fine/medium and heavy scratches. Wax-on Daniel-san!

Oh, and use the Griot's products with the buffer. I had some light swirls and scratches. After the claying the paint was scratch free, looked like liquid and felt otherworldly smooth. [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]

Re: Breaking Wind....

Okay! So far so good. For clarity, I should use those products specifically designed for polisher use? NOT pinacle (or the dreaded Zaino)?

All I know is that Griot's has it dialed in. All the right pads and applicators designed to be used with their clay, polish and wax products. I've used a lot of different junk over the years and this system is the best I've seen.

The SpeedShine alone is a fantastic quick detailer and the perfect partner when claying the paint. I use SpeedShine on the wheels every time after driving the car. Can't say enough good things about it.

Oh, did I mention? My car has never been washed in the conventional sense.

ONLY SPEEDSHINED!

After my choice was confirmed above, I've been exploring where to buy it (hell, why work [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img] ). I found it here for $125. Scroll down and read some of the comments. They're well written.

Yes. I think it blows away all the rest I have used on black including Zaino.
