Basically to sum it up. My moms van is a piece of crap lmao. I used the aggressive clay because its only been clayed once before by me like last summer. OC with PC is pretty good. Obviously the PC has its limitations. The new rotary I got only because it was 10$ extra. I honestly dont like it but it got the job done. I will eventually upgrade to a makita. I'm probably going to purchase an extractor though first since I got one car for every day of my spring break to do.
