But I saw the resultspossible by using a good quality orbital buffer and high quality products. So Iset out on a quest….to buy another buffer, the same Porter Cable unit, andsome good polishing products.I’m sure many of you have heard of Griot’s Garage and probably gettheir catalogues. I receive one new catalogue per month and have boughtproducts from them, including Speed Shine and their clay cleaning bar withgood success, although I always try any new products on the Mercedes Benz500E before I try them on the Porsche. You see, the 500E is my daily driverand is a good 15 foot car. The paint and polish look good from 15 feet, but thecloser you get, the worse she looks. The Porsche on the other hand is a greattwo foot car, except for those darn “squirrel” marks.So here’s what I bought:• Griot’s Garage Machine Polish 3, their finest polish. I’d use this first acouple of times to get the swirl marks out of the hood and front fenders.• Griot’s Garage Machine Polish #2, a slightly less-fine polish, in case thedamage couldn’t be fixed with #3• Three Velco-backed foam polishing pads• Two wax Velcro-backed foam application pads• One Porter Cable random orbital 6” polisher with Velco pad, model #7424• Small gym terry cloth towels to remove the polish• Micro-fiber cloths to remove the Zymol waxPage 23Also important iswhere you do thepolishing andwaxing. Applythese products ina cool place,away from directsunlight. I usedmy garage andhave three 8-footfluorescent lightfixtures, whichprovide a greatl i g h t i n genvironment.(Continued on page 25)
