I'm using a Griot's polisher which is basically a PC. I love these products though, I think they are kinda unknown. One bottle does cutting, finishing, and polishing. Just gotta change pads. It probably didn't come out perfect as it was my first time. I changed up my method since then, too.

Dang, you and Gavin will be hard to beat now !

All you other guys better start saving to get your AutoX wheels & tires so at least you have the same traction. Then it will be just the driving to compare....since we all have the same cars....so to speak ??

*** Also, this just in; I had to follow up with the place I ordered my LSD from ( WWW.JDSMOTORING.COM ) to find out where it is ?...has it been shipped ?...do I have a tracking number ? I had called and had to leave a message with Jas from JDSMOTORING to find out what the deal was....a few hours later I just happened to check in on my350z site and I get a PM notification. It is from JDS motoring saying... " that Carbonetics made a mistake and that it will ship out shortly....oh and by the way, I need your shipping address again ! "

I can't believe all these Vendors on this site....they are all flakes...they will take your money in an instant...but when you want your merchandise, they are slakers !

Damn apparently Pep Boys does not carry Stoner more shine. I really don't feel like buying something online that will cost more to ship to me than the product...

No because that also has to be ordered online haha, but I have heard the rave reviews about it. And the "more shine" is a tire shine product, not sure if Stoner makes normal car cleaning stuff, but their tire shine is supposed to be great.

What Zaino products do you have? I wouldn't mind trying them out to at least in person how great they are. Thanks for the offer.

Zaino's the first and only wax system I tried back when I first got the car. I just got their basic kit. It does a good enough job, at least for me. I've read that there are others that are better for comparable price.

Do waxes have a shelf life? If not, then Stu, I'll see if I can just give you whatever I have left from when I bought it.

I kinda think they don't, only because I've used what seem to be some old old waxes and they were fine.

Stu if you're looking for a good wax and do not want to order. Stop by the Harley Davidson dealership and pick up a jar of S100 wax. Same exact wax as the P21S wax for half the price. Really good stuff, very easy to apply and remove.
