1. Is it worth it to buy/borrow/use a powered waxer? My elbows were aching after doing the manual wax job on my car... and what is the best model?
2. Does Eagle One make a polishing compound for tougher spots? IE something like Simoniz White Polishing Compound... a light abrasive, for getting off tough bug stains, smoothing out tiny scratches, etc.
3. What's the best glass protectant? Rain-X, or any other product? I'm looking for something to use on my glass to give the same beading action the NanoWax does to the body...

Thanks!

1 -> For applying it, a battery or corded buffer would do fine. It would save the arms and shoulders. The best model is about $300 CDN with the proper pads, but you can pick up a small Simoniz brand one for about $35 on sale (the battery powered one) and then buy a Megiuar's finishing pad for about $25.I have this set up for applying wax and it works good.

2 -> What I use for a light abrasive is Megiuar's ScratchX. It works well, and can be used to remove swirls, oxidization and left over bird sh!t haze. For touch bugs, try the Turtle Wax Bug & Tar remover in the yellow aerosol can.

3 -> Rain-X is the best available through retail in Canada. If you go on to E-bay, or through somebody like Ziebart, you can get a PPG product called Aquapel. It lasts about a year, and works better in the long run. It's about $50 at Ziebart applied, but you can buy applicators on E-Bay for about $5 USD each. I use Rain-X myself though.
