Hey, it's concours season and with Jafsmith's major score under his belt I feel it's time to ask:
Glycerine on rubber? How is it used? Ritz Cloth on windows? Back To Black on rubber? Polish, buff, and shine? Vinyl care? How about wheelwells? Can I use Formula 409? Back in my last 914 incarnation, in the 80's, the hot product was P21S for wheels. Anything knock it off its throne? How about NoTouch spray on tires? Would the weenies and winners please list some of their favorite tips and products for the best looking original 914 finish? Thanks! Paul And can you seriously use peanut butter on the rubber seals? Do you ever close the hood again??? (Was that tongue in cheek???) A nod to Miss America: do you use vaseline on your teeth when you smile for the judges? Prep H on your sagging bags under your eyes after an all night cleaning session? Nah, I don't really want to know.... |

Without seeing your sears, I don't really know what you have, but having seen various sears over the years, my guess is you'd be better off getting a Porter Cable. The stuff I've seen from sears is very "consumer" oriented and is really just for spreading basic wax on a surface. The McGuires and Griot's products are designed to work best with a certain style of random orbital, such as the porter cable.
You spend a lot of time polishing, and money on products, so it doesn't make sense, IMO, to skimp on the machine itself. I got my Porter Cable PC7336 from Lowe's for $119. It's a bargain at that price. Here's a good link about the Porter Cable and some other info. http://www.roadfly.com/cars/aftermarket-pr...tal-buffer.html |
