    Electric Polisher

    The above is only good for applying and removing wax, it has no power to correct paint defects.

    Using shampoo when claying

    Any shampoo will work. I normally use Megs Gold Class as I have a far bit of it to use up and I dont use it on the car, but NXT will be my next one to use up after that! I put 3 or 4 capfulls into a small 600ml size spray bottle.

    ? To glaze or not ?

    No probs. VM works great by PC to anyway so you will be sorted. I tend to use both the VM and then the RMG on mine when the PC is out or just the VM when working by hand.

    ? To glaze or not ?

    Working by hand? - if so Vanilla Moose as its much easier by hand than the RMG.

    ? To glaze or not ?

    Nattys Blue x 2 straight over a glaze will work fine, but will get nowhere near the protection and durability of the EGP, so you will need to wax once every 2 - 4 weeks. Out of the Megs #7 and Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze, both look great, you will be hard pushed to tell much between them...

    applyin polish, drying,buffing etc

    Applicator pads are normally foam sponge. But you can also get ones covered with Microfiber. For polishing fthe yellow Meguiars foam ones work best for me. Removal as Justin said a microfiber towel works best, though they come in a whole range of colours. I like the orange Poorboys Mega Plush...

    wheel problems

    I would think so, esp. if mixed up strong. I tend to try and keep it on the tyres and in the wheel arches, and just use soap and water on the wheels.

    Photoshop users......

    As above, as longer as you have a scanner that can scan negatives or transparencys the scanner software sorts that side of things.

    wheel problems

    Ditch the sponge as it will grind the dirt into the wheels and cause the marring you are seeing, use an old wash mitt just for the wheels. Rinse the dirt of first with a hose , Spray the wheels with Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner or Autoglym Engine and machine cleaner and allow it to attack the...

    172 or the 182?

    Black Gold 182 a superb choice if I do say so myself. When all cleaned up, the best colour.

    ? To glaze or not ?

    SRP does fill, but does not leave surface oils in the sense of a true glaze. I use glazes under M/seal Justin, as it is more akin to the likes of Poorboys EX-P which does not seem so surface fussy as the likes of Autoglym or Klasse. But in the same token will never give the same durability.

    headlights

    Clay bar wont polish them or do anything other than remove bonded on contaminents. By hand - You can polish them as you would the paintwork, using either the same products as you would on your paint or a dedicated plastic polish. If they are really pitted it is also possible to wet sand and...

    ? To glaze or not ?

    No point - EGP wont bond to a glaze esp. not Megs 7 or VM. You will need to get a different sealant and compromise durability or go straight from the glaze to your wax, again reducing the level of protection. EGP needs an oil free base to work properly.

    Removing Camera Data From A Photo?

    Photoshop - Choose Save for web, the resulting file has the data stripped from it. The fact it does it actually annoys me, but will do what you want it to.
