I need elementary instructions/ material list.

Post by AlanS »

OK...I have a Porter Cable 'RO Sander- 5"' that appears to be the same as the ones used for buffing. All I would need to do is change the pads (obviously).
SO...I have two older Volvos...2001/1995. I want to wash, get out minor scratches, wax? and seal?. The reason I say "?", is becuase I have used Mother's waxes and Turtle waxes in the past and I get about one week's of protection. I don't want to wax my car every week, and would like a few months protection. I have heard that waxing is not the way to go...sealant is.
Could someone lay out a list of products to accomplish my task. I am not showing my cars...just want them clean, protected and shiney...maybe with less scratches.

I believe NuFinish is supposed to be a sealant.
