Default Just ordered my porter cable polisher and pads

I just ordered a orbital polisher, pads, and polish. I should recieve it in a few days and I will fully detail my Redline Z when I get a chance, check back in a week or so for before and after pics.

nice getting a PC was the best decision i made in terms of detailing the car...makes it so much easier to take out swirls and apply wax etc

what products are you planning on using?

The list of products i am using is a little extensive, because i am going to detail just about everything,I am going to start with the ABC car wash, then dry the car with a chamois cloth, claybar by mothers, then polish the car twice with griots garage polish number 3 then num. 4. i will be trying out griots garages carnuba wax stick with the orbital polisher but i have never tried it before. for the tires i use armor all extreme tire gel. the vinyl in the car will be dressed with vinylex and i think thats it for the products i will use. i am just waiting for my order to arrive with the polisher, should have it by the end of the week. i will post pics of the car before and after, ASAP.

I am trying griots machine polish 3 and 4. and the wax is griots carnuba wax stick. never tried them but they are made for the orbital polisher so they couldnt hurt. when i just hand wax i use P21s carnuba wax.
Hey, does anyone who has machine polished in the past have any advice that might help me??? anything would be great
