seal/wax - use a softer pad for wax

I don't use glazes as they wash off - great for car shows, no good for DD's...

If I was new, I would not touch my car until I watched the orbital and product vids here:

Makes sense.... I've used my porter cable before after some wet sanding of my rear diffuser after I had it painted. And I've watched just about every video there is about using the porter cable, and I'll watch those you posted as well.

I'm thinking I'm OK with the porter cable.

I'm more concerned about the order and undoing the good work from previous steps.
