Newb

[sixt5]

well im somewhat of a newb at the whole process of waxing so im looking for some guidelines and how-tos.
(1)
i have two different machines:

this one has that pad and a sponge pad.

which should i use?
(2)
i have been using NXT wax to do the mustang. only one coat (dont know if more then one is good or not) and it turns out pretty well. i can see nice reflections and such. Is this any count compared to the Zaino i've been hearing abuot? i've looked at auto stores and can not find this stuff. where can i buy it?

(3)
um.. just tell me what you think i need to know ;-)

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. Invest in a porter cable. If you have have experience with the orbital machine thats great. use it. But i would prefer the PC. Also. the Nxt is good not great. Durability Suck. But what you need to learn is the prep. WHich are the most "" IMPORTANT STEPS "

wash
clay car. with a clay MAgic Bar or other brand. T remove crap embeded on your surface.
Scratch & swirl remover. Poorboy's ssr 2.5 is what i use. with a cutting pad.
GLaze/polish ( Clearkote Vanilla Moose ) best i have tried
Wax, Clearkote Carnauba Moose wax.

heres the link. for the clearkote stuff.

so wash,clay bar, Scratch & swirl remover,polish, then wax?

so apparently i was going the cheap route wasnt i?

yup.... also this is the right way. remember prep is the ticket to a great shine,

The top one won't do much good other than for applying sealants/wax. The bottom appears to be rotary buffer but that takes quite a bit of skill! You could do some serious damage with it if you have never used one before! But if you know how to use it, it will be the only tool you'll ever need.

Zaino products work very well also.you have to order it online.i think you have to order the clearcoat stuff online as well.from what i have seen both work great.i use the zaino myself and am amazed at how well it works.

remember you need diffrent pads for diffrent liquids. ..
