It's only a 9 for Justn because he'd break something in the process.

everything you ever wanted to know/learn/figure out is on the interwebz, specifically youtubez.
the techniques are different according to which polishing machine you have.
and it was only a 9 on the motor mounts because I didnt have the proper tools.

I know a lot of it is on the internet. I'd just rather prefer to learn hands on from someone who has a bigger idea than I do. I don't want to jump straight onto my car and mess up on something.

4 years ago, I bought the PC7424XP and watched a whole bunch of youtube vidz.
and learned how to do it myself.
plus, no one ever listens to me. "keep the pad on the car until it stops spinning"
"What!!?!?!?!" *picks up pad while spinning, flinging polish into every one's eyes*

if you buy the PC7424XP, there IS NO POSSIBLE WAY to burn through paint.

with the PC7424XP, it's impossible.

this was my 2nd time ever polishing a car. I improved since Ive done my TL, but improvement only comes with practice. and that only comes with doing your own car, as each car is different. each car will have its own problems(swirls and marring) and each car will have a different paint texture. The Acura's are a little more soft.
Always start off with the least aggressive pad and product. then work your way up to a more aggressive polish/pad if swirls are not being corrected.
all of this is in youtube videos.
where you get to watch instead of read.
so, just watch youtube videos.

That's pretty good for a second time, nice work. I guess I'll start with the PC7424XP machine and soft pads and work my way up and see what I learn from there. Thanks!

the rear mount is the only trouble some one. you'll need a long extension. you're a bit taller than i am, maybe you can lean over the car, i had to sit on top of the engine bay to reach the rear.(which made it horrible and hard)

Hi Houstonian,
Recently move to Houston and I need to do A1 service on my 2010 TL.
I usually bring my own oil and filter.
Any idea what's the best place that can do oil change and rotate tires?
Thank you!
