coxy Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 ok........... so now i am looking at the 7346sp??? what is the differance?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawson4450 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 usually about 90 days from time of paint to wax but usually after about 60 you can start to put light stuff on like bsg the will actually provide some protection yet wear off quickly so it wont hold any gasses from the paint in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxy Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Great stuff guys!!! and i will ask about when i can start waxing ect....... still need some for my truck and the wifes car. and it seems like Adam's is the way to go!!:thumbsup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Wow, neat find. Seems that 1 owner didn't enjoy the car nearly enough! Like the others have said, the PC is a great mix of reasonable cost, EXCELLENT construction, and effectiveness. Don't try to save a few bucks buying something cheaper; it won't likely have the comfort, power and durability that you want. Also, talk to the shop painting your car and ask them specifics about how long to wait after the paint job before you start polishing, waxing, etc. I know some shops advice you not to do anything for a few months after a paint job.

SaleenJOE Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I would just get a PC. i have had mine for a few years and have used the hell out of it and never had anything it couldnt work out. I rarely use my dewalt rotary anymore cause the PC does a great job. nice looking vette keep us updated on the process <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooners Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 The PC will be more than adequate to do most paint correction in a safe/effective manner, plus its just about the most durable polisher on the market... the things just a worry free work horse. Other choices, like the flex, have well documented issues that require servicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawson4450 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 if your just starting out get a pc I had another brand that was basically the same thing that i got for a few dollars cheaper but i just bought a pc. the pc would be better for you if your just starting out again into doing this because you cant really hurt your paint with it. The flex you can damage your paint if your not careful but its a great tool as well. just check out junkmans videos on here he explains it well.

RyGo Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 You'll see some people talking about the FLEX. For my money - I really like the PC!! It seems to be the weapon of choice across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
