    Newbie could use some help

    Hi all, new to the board (which is great by the way).
    I can get a "decent" shine even out of old paint.

    Using a Pep boys 10" polisher
    3M`s perfect it Rubbing compound
    Meg`s deep crystal polish & carnuba

    Below are the results on a 90 Olds (practice vehicle) that has`nt been touched in over a year or more.

    Would like to get better products and eventually a PC (not in budget right now).

    Any suggestions on product selection would be greatly appreciated. And if it makes a difference I would be using the new on the Green Taurus in the bottom Pic.
    Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance

    For some reason, I can`t see your pictures. But I would suggest using Poorboys products. They are better than the suff you get in pepboys and are pretty cost effective, thus the name Poorboys world. Also, I know a PC is an investment, but if you are at all serious about car care, it is a MUST have. You just can`t get the same results without it.

    Geocities doesn`t allow you to remote link pictures.. You can upload one picture per post directly if you`d like, or use the DC gallery. We can drag and drop those links to a new window in the mean time.

    There`s tons of good products to try out there.. the selection can sometimes be overwhelming! Read up on what folks are using and pick a few to try yourself.
