What!? I've never heard of a PC DA polisher breaking. My buddy who details professionally has one that he has used for about 8 years. Give them a call and I bet they'll replace it. I also use a PC DA polisher.

Oh no, it didn't break!

I just used it for the first time. It's a 2010 Challenger SRT8 in B5 blue. Paint wasn't bad to begin with, I just wanted to refine it. I washed with meguiars gold class, clay barred, dried, used the PC + orange pad and poor boys polish with sealant, then topped that wit a coat of Four Stars UPP. My problem is I don't have a garage where I can apply these sealants and let them cure for hours on end, so I have to used products that can be applied in sunlight (though I keep this to a minimum always) and can be topped almost immediately. I know I sacrifice some durability, but it is what it is. The car is my dads anyway and will probably be getting sold soon...next project is my truck. Which will be a bitch

I remember doing a 2500 Ram a long time ago and the paint was fairly hard. You probably need a stronger cutting compound.

Go to Autozone and get Mequair's M105. It's in a tan bottle and is about $30. It's worth the money. I use it to polish headlights and bare metal bumpers as well. Works like a charm.

Sealants and waxes shouldn't need that long to cure. Just do a finger test. Swipe your finger across the waxed paint quickly. If the wax smears, it needs more time. If it all flakes off, it's ready to be removed.
