i have an orbital, but use it on my wife's civic. never on my 2k max. i'll use it one my mom's 4th gen though.. but not on my 2k. maybe i'll even use it on my brother's SE-r, but not on my 2k max.... notice a pattern here?

If you are using a polymer-based polish system, there's no need
for heavy-duty equipment. Ever use Rain-X? Wiping off a
polymer-based polish is like removing the haze from Rain-X
after it has dried. I'd hardly call it "elbow grease".

Quick ? I washed my car today and notice what looks to be like a door scratch but looks like it just scratched the clearcoat. Will wax and buffing it out help.
