A serious question from me (makes a change)...what polishes and waxes do you guys use ?

It's hard to judge Epic's durability because water seems to respond differently
than to the normal waxes I've used. It's also quite a bit harder to remove than Blitz or P21S wax altho that might be due to how I'm applying it and not how the product normally responds. I still think for ease of use P21S is about as good as it gets.

P21S on top of sealants is ok, but under is supposed to be a problem
That's the gap Prima Amigo was supposed to fill. It does basically the same thing as P21S GEPC but is safe to use with polymer sealants.

Hey, thanks for all the replies - it's been a great help.
XCLR8TT - neat videos bud....they're real useful as I haven't really seen any on using the PC properly yet. I kinda just plug it in, and get on with it.
I've just gone and ordered the Menzerna PO106FF polish as it seems to be talked about quite alot.
Any tips before I just jump in there with it ? Would you say to test it on a particular area first, or is it pretty safe to go ahead and use ?

It's pretty hard to do damage with the porter cable
unless you use a really aggressive pad/polish combination and run it way too fast. Start with the machine set at 2-3k (or whatever the product specifies). Don't use alot of pressure, if you use too much pressure to stop either the spinning or the oscillation of the pad you're using too much force.
Work small areas, if you do larger areas it's harder to buff the remaining material off. As you work your way around the car and start getting tired you'll probably find yourself cheating a bit, stick with the small areas it does work better (or so I keep telling myself on the 3rd time around
It'll take a bit to find a good technique that works for you but keep at it and try different things like angle of the pad on the paint, amount of product, varying machine speed and you'll find something that works.
