I 100% agree with this. The chemist who have developed these products have already done the guess work as far as what product works best with what product. Staying within a family line of products is always the best route to go as you don't have to worry about any adverse reaction between brands, whether you can actually see the reaction or not. Very solid advice.

I would say that he would be okay if he picked up a PC. It is very hard to do damage to paint with a PC unless you just flat out beat the car with it. Safest machine on the planet that actually will do something.

OP, there are quite a few professional grade brands out there to choose from. Just choose a professional grade product and give yourself a fighting chance. I can unplug you from the Matrix and open the door, but you are the one who has to walk through it.
