Autozone PC test.
 

Well today I pulled the trigger on a PC type orbital polisher from autozone. Its made a company called shurhold. Ill tell ya what its a pretty nice piece. Has all the same features as the porter cable including variable speed, a carrying bag and a 5inch velcro backing plate and 2 handles. Cost was 149.00. I also bought a 6 pack of LC pads from autogeek since its right down the way from me.

Now I've been detailing for quite some time now and have always used my makita buffer to do cars and my work has always been nice but just the little things I've noticed have always kinda drove me a little nuts. Lol. I will say this my first time using one and I am very impressed with the results it gave.

The test car was my black and blue flamed SS. Its got a very nice paint job about 4000 or so. But just like any detailer I was curious to see if it would come out better.

Again man COME DO MY CAR YOU FUCK YOU!!

i either gotta learn how to use a buffer or just find someone who buffs

Haha. I just finished my buddies gto. I will post pics later

So your happy with it? I told my self after I get to camaro painted I'm not waxing by hand any more hahah Shit takes to long.

def happy with it. I wont be using my Makita buffer much anymore unless its for heavy paint correction.

Still looks like shit! Want to get some rubber off a Monte?????????????????? lmao!!!!!!!!!!

yup. so when yuo going to 'fix' the paint on my car??? lol

Haha. Looks like I need to move back north.

just do it when your up hear working dam it

i think we should all chip in and have a Detail party at my house and get Justin up here!!!!!

If I could get all of my chemicals and equipment there and had a garage to do it, it could be a possibility. Not too sure but ii might be working back in florida full time again after my birthday.

Hey Justin what can you tell me about Collinite Insulator wax? I was reading up on it and it sounds great. I'm looking for a simple two step polish and wax. I was considering dropping the cash for Meguiars ultimate wax but this stuff sounds as good or better and cheaper. Looking for something durable since I don't wax very often. Thinking about that to go on after Meguiars either #7 like you used or Ultimate Polish.

Yeah the insulator wax works nice. You don't need to use a lot as it spreads nice and thin. Plus for 10 or 12 dollars you can't beat it.

Cool I'm going to try that. What's a good place to get it?

Go to autogeek.net and do a search for it. That's where I get it from but since there headquarters is only a 20min drive I just go and pick it up. And don't worry if you leave it out in the garage on a hot day it gets a little liquidity it still works fine.

i dont have a garage. cant be done outside on a nice summer weekend?!?!?!?! COME ON! Im trying to get yah a free weekend up here doofis!!!!

Not really man. There's a reason they tell you to not wax a car with a warm surface. That's why even with a garage I tend to do my details in the morning when its cool out. Or if there is a real big shady area it can be done.

i have probably my whole yard under trees.

i have garage!!!!!!!

Well who knows sometime I might have to make a detail trip

no no nooo noooo you are wrong. there is NOOOO MIGHT! YOU WILLLLL have to make a trip!! Douche!

Easier said than done captin asshat!!!!

I might be starting another job next month, so coming back up there wouldnt be possible till end of summer maybe, plus depending on how many people want there rides done. I might need a few days. I can only do a 2 or 3 most in one day.

Tell ya what I will be up there to visit on June 8th through the 11th. On June 9th I wanted everone to meet up at the Westgate pub for drinks. If you want we cant talk more then or just pm me or hell you got my number give me a shout. Def wouldnt mind hooking everyone up and making there rides nice.

Everyone hates me because I buff but I never have friggin time!!!! I'm leaving June 4th :c
