move on to PC

Finally, I give up my idea that saving money and do the wax & polish by hand. It's time for me to make my car the real thing. My long term trouble is that I don't have a garage ( Like someone know I live in apartment ).Never work with machine so I need your advices. Should I find a cordless one or work with a PC (I will have to borrow garage ) ?

I'm sorry for my English . I mean I don't have a garage so I ask for advice. Should I buy a cordless buffer which I can use in the parking lot or buy a PC then use the garage of someone else ?

I just went out to the apartment office because of busy yesterday ( now can't wait till tomorrow to try the stuff I have in my house with the PC ). I will have to throw away some easy-to-use wax and polish likes Ice polish and order some real things. Experiment will be on my mother car .

Use blue Dawn dish wash soap ..

Saturate pad with water and squirt Dawn onto it then kneed it in with your fingers. You will see it start to suds ... work it a bit then hold it under running water to squeeze the suds out .. squeeze to get most the water out and set out to dry. Don't twist or ring it as it will damage the pad.

Always wash it soon as your done polishing.

You're not going to hurt the pad. Just be sensible with them, treat them like an article of clothing.
Dry out of direct sunlight as well.
