I am not ready to get a PC, so I was wondering what product (or series of products) you guys recommend to get rid of some spider webs in the paint and then end up with a deep, wet look. (Car is black if that makes a difference)

 

honestly, you can probably get similiar results using scratch-x (repeating application many many times), but save yourself the time/effort and get a PC =p

 

Try Zaino Z5-PRO. That's what someone recommended to me, but I haven't gotten around to ordering a bottle for myself.

 

Thanks. Would a random orbital buffer work almost as well as a PC? I am not ready to spend the money on one yet.

 

If you're going to buy a buffer, just get a 7424. I paid around $90 for mine.

 

i already have the buffer. bought it before i knew any better.

 

I honestly can't answer that because I've never worked with anything other than a PC 7424.

 

Fair enough. And Im guessing everyone avoids the cheapo porter cable fakes that they sell @ walmart and autozone?

And do you suggest applying scratch x to the whole car or just as needed?

 

I always do just as much as is needed. A cutting pad and scratch-x will remove some paint, so I try to do it as little as possible.

 

Ok, I got the Meguaries 3 step stuff, but wasnt thrilled with the results. It may be that I didnt work it in hard enough. Scratch removers require more elbow grease than wax i guess?
