I always move my detail supplies inside. Alot of waxes warn not to let it freeze and even though my garage is somewhat heated, i just don't like taking the chance.

From what i've read, most people apply wax over a sealant for visual purpose, and added protection. Sealants are great for durable protection but i've read they lack the visual appeal that a good wax provides. Wax provides a deep, warm paint appeal that sealants supposedly don't provide as much of.

I can't say that one is better than the other, but from what i've seen so far, it seems paste goes further as far as how many applications you can get out of a can. I tend to use less paste than liquid when applying.

I mix Meguiar's M105 with Ultimate Compound and been mixing M205 with Ultimate Polish. I find this has been working very well for me, most times i mix 1/3 of the M line product and mix the rest with 2/3 of the ultimate line product. Good stuff! :)

welcome!

@Kamakaz1961 Thanks for the suggestion, i haven't made the plunge yet to get a Flex, but have future plans to do so as i read it seems to be choice for correction (more power, less working time etc.) I haven't even tried the hex logic pads but i figure from using the CCS pads and liking what i...

Mainly i use a griot's 6, which is what i ordered from Autogeek some while back, sometimes i use my friend's porter cable 7424xp.

Hey folks, I been using the Lake Country CCS 5.5 pads, and though they do a great job, i been wondering what you all think of the lake country flat pads. Do they offer good correction ability versus the CCS pads? Main reason i ask is because one of my buddies has a cyclo polisher, and that's...

Haven't checked them yet, cool thanks! :xyxthumbs:

Pad suggestion would depend on what type of finishes you would be tackling, how much cutting power you'd need etc. In general, as far as lake country ccs pads go, i use mainly the orange pad for compounding, the white pad for polishing, and the gray pad for wax or sealants. I have a 5inch...
