[Shotimes] showing off-waxed my car

[Ron Porter]

The Motive is an excellent investment. I did the brakes on the LGT on Friday, and it worked great again. I just don't worry about not getting a good flush with no air bubbles.
   
  I didn't get the 7424 nor the hook-n-loop attachment from Griot's, but I got his orange and red pads. They last a long time if you clean them well (I use dishwashing soap) and let them air-dry.

  Funny, I was thinking "Ron Porter Cable 7424" when we
were using it.

I want to get my own but I may as well save the $110
and use my friend Mike's!

I did buy the foam polish and wax pads from Griot's
for it though. They worked really well.

Awhile back, I tried doing the Meguiar's 3 step by
hand. I gave up after finishing the spoiler. Now that
I know what's possible with the PC7424, I really have
no excuse to not take better care of the paint.

FWIW, I think that the Motive bleeder is next on my
list of car tools to get. The compressor and air tools
will come when I get a house.
