let's see those waxed 14's 15's

You will not do any damage to your paint with a porter cable buffer. The motion of that machine alone makes it nearly impossible to harm your paint. I have used my pc 7424 buffer several times and it works great. Just takes a little more time than a standard.

 

Don't be afraid to use your PC for buffing your truck. Anyone can use that machine without causing any problems. I actually let me 10yo nephew use mine on my black truck, he likes to help so that's what I let him use. Use it and take your time.....nothing to worry about.

Might have to give it a try, I have a few scratches on my truck I'd like to fix.

Finally got some decent pics. In truth, it isn't done yet. I work a lot and I'm slow. Still have to do engine bay, and interior - as well as the black trim and tires.

But the polish/correction and wax of the exterior is complete. I think she looks pretty daggum decent for my first go round with the PC.

Thought this last one was a blemish or something in the paint because of the "streak" that almost looks like a NIKE swoosh. It apparently was just a shadow or reflection from the fender curve above it :) because there is nothing there!

Here is a couple good reflection pics. Now this is of My 32 ford so the paint is totally different. This is a simple cut and polish and that's it. No sealant no wax. It helps to work with very high end clear coat.

Fantastic Job!!! Shines like a diamond in a goats ass.

These black waxed photos make me miss having a black ride. Nothing looks as good as black after a nice wax job. I don't miss the upkeep though and love how well the brownstone hides everything. Just doesn't give you that WOW like black does.

 

Nice work fellas.

 

When talking about using a powered buffer, just make sure you are all talking about the oscillating kind. The ones that just spin in a circle can cause damage very easily if you're not careful. The oscillating type make it much easier to avoid damage because the pattern is random as opposed to something just spinning in a circle. The type that just spin are where you can get into trouble if not careful because you can "burn in" areas if you spend too long in spot or don't keep it moving.

 

Now that I own a truck, I'm thinking about picking one up to make life easier on myself. These bad boys have a lot of paint real estate.

What are you guys using for clay bar lubricant? I have been using No Rinse Wash and Shine because I have it from living in philly and using it to wash my jeep, it doubles as a clay bar lube.

 

I'm almost out of it and wondering what people use. I'm gonna clay bar before my next wax job - I skipped it this time since it was in pretty good shape being brand new

I have used several but right now specifically I am using Meguars clay bar and the optimum clay cloth. The clay cloth is awesome! The only downside is that it is not that aggressive. So if you have a heavily contaminated surface, use the regular clay.
