Come on, now you're sounding like my wife. Everyone knows guys need this stuff.

The wife needs make-up and jewelry. I need cars and auto products, and tools and home theater and large Plasma displays and computers and fishing gear and hunting gear and lots of guns... I think it's a sickness and it's in my genes. LOL

Umm... there are two polishers in my arsenal. The white box second shelf from the bottom on the left contains a G100. This is a Porter-Cable 7336. The Makita rotary is in the red and black tool box on the right.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with a store full of auto products. What is the average shelf life of polish/wax/everything else if it's kept in a climate controlled environment?

Ooo, old thread. Sadly, I have tripled the amount of pads and pretty much doubled the amount of everything else. As for car wash solution....I'm sure everyone knows

I use mostly professional grade chemicals. Most of the stuff on the shelf at your local auto zone is overpriced junk.
