Guys believe me, I only ask because I'm ignorant and don't know...you guys sound a lot more experienced in detailing than me, but I'm confused. I was directed to this product because I needed very minor correction, and it says on this product that there are no fillers...but anyway, after I polished it I should have alcohol wiped it? I guess this process gets any filler shit off the paint and see if you actually corrected it? God damn there is too much shit to buy lol.

That Porter Cable you got was just the beginning...I thought the detail ceiling opened there about 2 years ago...and this week I go and spend $400 on a foam cannon, shampoo, polishes, etc....

I personally have never done an alcohol wipe, if you use a citrus based car cleaner it should strip off all sealant, wax, etc.

If you mix it right.

Bottle of IPA is only $.98 and you only need 50/50 of it and water in a spray bottle to strip fillers etc.

Around $120, but if you're going to get a PC you might as well look on autogeek or another website for a package deal with pads, polishes, etc
