So I got myself a high-speed waxer this weekend and went at her.
I managed to get my car and the wife's 96 Tercel.
3-step mothers wax and glaze / clay bar / perfect waxing weather on Saturday / a case of beer =
So now the cars are ready for winter.

The paint on the Tercel was VERY oxodized...I didn;t think I could get it back.
As for the swirls and scratched that were bothering me so much....I got almost ALL of them out.

True dat! I bought a battery powered Simonize polisher and its okay for small jobs but thats about it. Get what you pay for though (cost around $30 IIRC)

Damn... results like that make me wish I could use an orbital buffer (Esp. the Tercel, I remember seeing it at the BBQ, what a difference)
I guess I'll just stick to Turtle Wax Ice and prayer (Gave it another go over on Saturday while my dad was asleep :rolleyes: )

The little simonize ones just have the RPMs to do a good job. Alll they do is vibrate your hands into numbness. Not to mention...because they don't spin fast enough....you go thorugh a million bonnets.
