Firewalker Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 that isnt me guyz... that is Mark @ exoticdetailing.net who is detailing my car! check out his website... he did wonders on my car, it took him about 9 hrs to do all of the detail. That polisher he is using is a porter cable 7424 dual polisher with what appears to be a 5" all purpose pad. It is a very popular random orbiting sander/polisher. I have one, with a series of pads and polishes you can remove swirl marks, scratches (not down to metal of course) and bring out an amazing shine. They are relatively inexpensive, for under $300 I was able to buy the polisher, 6 pads, and a series of polishes from abrasive to less abrasive to accomplish removal of swirls in my Black 2002 Lexus es300. If it warms up I will shoot some pics. by the way, the car looks great! What did he charge for the detail and did it include the inside?

SW03ES Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Lookin good! I'm a little confused as to why he used the PC to apply Zaino though. Zaino is a very thin sealant, and in my experience using the PC is harder than just applying it by hand and you waste product that way.

Zaino is a very thin sealant, and in my experience using the PC is harder than just applying it by hand and you waste product that way. oh... he did not use the buffer to apply the wax, he did it by hand. My captions were wrong, he only used the PC to do the compound polish/cleaner polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Makes more sense. Oh and Zaino is not a wax, its a sealant ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Even for pros its hard to figure out what all these different products actually are, theres no standardization among manufacturers about whats a "wax", a "sealant", a "polish" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
