Default Ok, just got my PC 7336"SP", now what would you guys suggest for wax and pads??

what pads, aplicators are the safest to start with? I know everyone has their favorite waxes, so im more interested in what NOT to use and what NOT to "buff" it on with.

unfortunately i dont have a good detail store near me, had to drive 70 miles (round trip) just to get the polisher.

i want to know what type of stuff to get so i can get something similar in case the store doesnt have what i want, which they never do :0(.

as usual, thanks for the help

Default thanks for the info. Since my car is but a month old, do i need to worry about polishing? . . .

or just wash and wax if the paint feels smooth?

how do the porter cable pads compare to griots and meguiars?
