You're not the ultimate detailer if you're doing it by hand.





I've been going back and forth about using a PC, but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. When/if I do though, I'll be "practicing" on the Regal first The thing is though, how would you apply AIO/SG using the PC when it goes on so thin to begin with? IMO the wheel is for paint thats not in too good of shape to begin with, but maybe that will change if/when I get a PC One thing about doing it by hand is this, NO chance of burning the paint, especially on older cars where the paint is older. An example is my buddies 86' BMW 635 CSI, its fire engine red and has its original paint. Certain parts of the car you can see the orange colored primer showing on the edges, imagine what the PC could do to that if someone doesn't know what their doing Its not something I even wanna think about to be honest with you. Same goes for anodized window molding. I had an orbital buffer about 10 years ago to use on my 87' GN and it worked nicely, but a couple times I hit the drip rail and window trim and it took off the paint and that was just a low speed buffer, so you can understand my concern. To be honest with you though, I'm leaning towards the PC, but I see only using it where the paint isn't so good and I need to get everything I can out of it where higher speed and proper polish will do the trick. After that, hand waxing the cars finish is the way I'll go. To date, most of the cars I've done are on the newer side and the finishes are pretty good still, but your point is well taken Pete
