I thought i was the only one with a machine n wax products fetish. :lol: . Hat off to you dino you car looks very clean. 8)

Its surprising how much difference porter cable polishers and random orbit polishers like my makita BO6040 make to paintwork when used with the right polishes/waxes. The finish you get is much better. It even gives my reflex silver car a deep shine, difficult to do with silver paint.

Ive just bought some Meguiars hyper dressing, good stuff, an so many uses. :D

I'm confused with megs professional products.

All the stuff I use I get from A1 motorstores, which is meguiars carnaba wax, autoglym polish and meguires nxt wax. How do you know which number to get and is it only worth getting that stuff if you have a PC?

I like the shine, I look after my paintwork well, but the day to day use and motorway driving give me stonechips so its an uphill battle for me :(

Some of the stuff is only worth getting if you have a PC as it won't work by hand.

Have a look on megs website under the pro/valeting/bodyshop range.
