As far as polish, do you guys use the PC for it, or do you do it by hand.

P.S. That highlander looks crazy. My car looks like this now, but I need to make sure it keeps staying like that.

You probably already know this but just in case. You should not wax fresh paint for around 90 days. I'd use #80 speed glaze on it during that period but no wax or sealant.

Yes, I use my PC for polishing. It cuts the time required by a factor of ten.

Yea I know, something to do with not letting it dry up well. I only have paint on the trunk, rear bumper, I had the hood done while at it, and spoilers. I am not planning on doing anything to those areas for the time being. I do wash it twice a week though.

Do you guys order this stuff online. I can't find any of this localy. I can't beleive no store around here caries anything that you guys listed

Most of the stuff mentioned here are boutique brands. It's like trying to find Tein, TRD, Tom's, etc at your local NAPA autopart store.

There are several good on-line sites for detailing supplies. Here are a few.
