Well I finally got around to trying out the Groits BOS. A special thanks to Corey I still don't have the "Porter Corey" or the clay but this was a good wash then hand wax/remove with a good Chamois cloth.

Here are the pictures.

I can't wait to try the clay and the whole "Corey Process"

 

All I see are pictures of mirrors...where's the Runner? Looks great man. I gotta try that stuff too. You did it all by hand? You gotta get the PC.

 

Brian,

All by hand this time. I'm saving for the PC wax kit. It is great stuff. I got the BOS and microfiber towels.

I cant wait for the PC and clay

 

PS- Brian, Now it looks like windawrd here. Probably gonna rain any minute otherwise I would take more pictures.

It looks like Schafter or K-bay

 

I just hand-washed, hand-clayed, and hand-waxed mine with all the Griot's stuff too(took 5hrs). Claying actually had to be done by hand because there was just too many curves on the body that the clay pad could not get to. BOS is the Best wax i've ever used hands down. I now wish my car was black, cant wait to see the difference with Porter-Cable that i just bought.

 

Hey Woody, looks great!
Post some more pics when the weather clears up

Glad you like the wax.
Yes, it will be tons easier once you get the PC.

I did the power clay & wax a few Sundays ago in about two hours for the whole rig.
So much faster, and your hands don't get tired.

 

Thanks Corey. I can't wait to get the PC.

2001Millrunner,

Welcome to the forum. Where did you buy the Porter Cable and how much did you pay?

 

bought it at Lowe's for $109 it came with a really firm pollishing pad, i've done online shopping and that was the lowest price i could find. you can also goto www.lowes.com and order it online
=)

 

I just searched their site and I only came up with two PC sanders. Do you happen to recall the exact name or where it is on their site?

THANK YOU for the help.

 

just type 7336 in search field, boom. =), you do have to get the velcro backing plate separately. I looked everywhere, griots garage has one and it's the easiest to get that...try Amazon.com before you buy'em tho

 

Hey Woody,

I was also looking on Lowe's site but didn't find anything. However, I believe the Corey Cable is actually model 7336SP, Variable-Speed Random-Orbit Sander (6") with Polishing Pad.

Your rig looks great!

Edit: 2001MillRunner's trick does work; I started my reply before his was posted.

 

Thanks Tom and 2001MillRunner. I got it to come up with the 7336 as well. Is there a difference between the 7336 and 7336SP? Before I click the buy now?

Thanks guys. I love this forum but man, I feel like I'm already a dues paying member

 

Hey Woody,

You must be reading my mind.... I was looking to compare the same things.

There is a difference between the 7336 and the 7336SP, albeit a small one - the SP model inculdes the polishing pad, whereas the 7336 model does not.

On the Porter Cable web site, the SP model is technically listed under "Polishers", and the 7336 model is listed under "Sanders". Its the same basic tool though.

 

Thanks again Tom and 2001MillRunner.

I'll order the 7336 and just get the pads and clay from Groits.

Thanks again!

 

i think i got the 7336SP then because mine came with polishing pad . I wasnt sure if i want to use it because it's a lot firmer than the Red wax pad from Griot's and it maybe because it's specifically deisgned for Polishing. Maybe Corey can tell us this..

have fun guys, my arms are still sore but nothing beats running your hands through the hood after you're done claying

 

Woody, I have links to all of Griot's stuff on my detail page.

It is the 7336 unit that I have.

 

Thanks Corey. I'm going to add your wax link to my favorites.

For some reason, I keep getting an error when I try and order the PC from Lowes website. I guess I'll have to call them.

 

Now thats a clean 4th gen

 

woow, that looks awesome, wanna do mine ? lmao
