Should help. I used Armor All wipes for inside of my car, they work good, may try something different next time though.

I've read that over and over and over. Great info and step by step.

After reading and looking up on it further, I have got the PC 7424xp kit. This video explains how safe the PC really is in novice hands. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XAqpOe9Zt4)
Porter Cable 7424XP & Flat Pad Kit, Lake Country Flat 6.5 Inch Foam Pads, Porter Cable Pads

Junkman2000 on youtube also has good videos.

How to use and ONLY USE PC 7424XP (you would burn your paint with any other hand orbital)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et6Eg...feature=relmfu
