Waxed the rig on the 4th
Many who have seen my past pics and vids know that I used a Porter Cable 7336 orbital sander for waxing my rigs.
Last year I cut the cord and picked up the Ryobi 18v lithium orbital sander.
I had to apply heavy duty Velcro to its backing plate, then the red Griots Garage waxing pads slap right on to it.
Gone also is the Griots claybar and claybar holder I use to use for claying the rig first before waxing.
Griots came out with a mitt you use along with their Speedshine or you can use water from your carwash bucket, and you wipe your rig with the mitt, does the same as using a claybar, only easier.

Got up early, wiped the rig down with a wet towel, did the clay mitt thing, dried off the Speedshine, and went to town with the Ryobi.
Took a few hours to wax and then wipe the rig down, so much better than the old days of hand waxing.
Been using an orbital now for around 15 years or so.
And using the Ryobi is so much better than the Porter Cable since thee is no cord to get in the way.
It only has one speed though, but it is perfect for waxing.
