If you clay it right away, it should do the trick. Make sure to polish and wax afterwards.

Here's a great kit:

Hi Moe,

I currently have a Makita buffer which I normally use, but I've been wanting to try a Port a cable or the flex can you tell me what if any are differences in the two?

I will order one of the polishers and the polishing kit once I know which one will be best for me.

Then I hope to spent a whole weekend detailing the car now that the Texas heat has die out some. Thanks for you help.

The PC is a step up from hand application. If you truly want a tool that is professional-grade, will get you better results in less time than a PC, then go with the flex. The flex will have considerable less vibration and noise as well. You can also use it to apply a sealant or liquid wax as well.

Here are some great kits that are our best sellers:

Hey Moe,

I own a 02 Porsche C2,and recently purchased some of Meguiars 'Ultimate' rubber & plastic coditioner for the ext rubber window seals,as I started to use this I noticed that there was a lot of black coming off on to the cloth,and also caused the rubber to have a 'tacky' feeling...is this normal? Should I be using a different product?

Thanks,

Todd

 

Hi Todd..the black coming off is some of the oxidized rubber and the carbon that's in the rubber. There's a cleaner that's in that product that's obviously doing this. Not a problem. However, the surface should not be tacky. It should have a satin finish and feel smooth and dry to the touch. You can get the tacky feel out by simply using alcohol and wiping down the trim. Just make sure you condition with a proper product...we recommend 303 aerospace protectant.

 

Should I clean all the trim before app of 303?
If so,a particular cleaner or just alcohol?

 

Clean all the trim you'll be using 303 on.

Alcohol should work just fine if you're conditioning right afterward.

 

hey Moe, What do you think of Waterless wash...? Would you recommend as an car wash with hose down substitute?

 

Hey MOE

Great great thread you got here awsome to go out of your way to help everyone out now for my question

I have a artic silver car and i will be waxing it by hand so i just want to know what the best 3 stage cleaner,wax,polish you recamend i use. I use to use mothers. Thanks for your help moe!

 

Knowledge is better shared than kept secret.

If doing by hand, clay, hand polish, and wax...here's our best kit for that:

If doing by a machine, and the paint isn't too swirled or scratched, after claying, polish with Menzerna Power Finish and White GP pad, then go to a wax of choice.

Sup Moe...

What would you recommend cleaning on wood trim with thin clear coat? Keeping it clean, no polish. I was thinking of detail spray, or Griots interior cleaner. Though Detail Spray may seem much better, in my mind. What would you prefer or prefer something else?

 

Thanks for the help moe! I will pick up that product from the site. Anything for the viynal in the car

hey Moe,
Im interested in a polisher but really don't know which one to get. Its between the flex and the porter cable. This is going to be my first polisher and i want something thats easy to use and not gonna hurt my cars paint. I wanna know what you would recommend cause you have a lot of years in the industry?
Thanks,
Noah

 

Hi Noah. IMHO, the flex should be the only polisher in your hands. It's such an amazing tool that when compared with the pc, cuts your correction time by 30-50%, results that are far superior, a tool that last decades, and a tool that you won't outgrow. You can compound, polish, and wax with the flex.

What makes the flex even more amazing is its ability to correct paint almost like a rotary, but it's as safe as a pc. So you don't have to worry about burning the paint.

Here's a great kit to choose...it's our most popular polishing kit:
