[s-cars] Power Buffer/Polisher Recommendations Please

[Lee Levitt]

PC 7424 is a PC 7424. However, I *did* buy a couple of pads from 
Griots, and the heat transfer comes from the pad design. There's a 
number of good websites that discuss using the PC and what to do 
with different levels of paint damage. Do some reading before you 
get started...you'll end up ordering different pads and 
cleaner/polisher/wax/etc as a result.

Which reminds *me*. *Both* of my cars are overdue. And I can't 
decide whether to use the AutoGlym or the Zymol this time around. 
I thought the Zymol was a bit snooty for the effect it provided 
:)
