I have an 06 FX35 and dont think it's particularly hard or difficult to prep-out. Responded well to the usual polishes and pads.

Same one as I use. Go to the plumbing dept and grab a length of spongey pipe insulation and wire ties. Cut the insulation lengthwise and attach to front/back of the platform. MX5HIGH: How does that garage door insulation work? Useful?

Mike, what pad is being used on the Flex by the guy doing the tires (or make a recommendation) ?

+1 get a decent mini-platform w/ folding/LOCKABLE legs. Ziptie some cut spongy pipe insulation to the long edges.

Can anyone compare/contrast P21S product to the Pinnacle Exhaust Polish (for 2x the price) ??

You may want to look at Sonax PNS (Polymer Net Shield) w/ intermittent topping w/ their BSD product. I've also used Collinite 476/915 and am (this year) trying GTechniq C2V3 on my GFs SU.

I'd start w/ vacuum, an all purpose cleaner followed by metal (alum safe obviously) polish on a stiff toothbrush (to get in and around the rubber nubs) and then re-evaluate if more is needed.

Feynlab Rinseless For salt, I use CRC SX128 in a foam cannon w/ flexi-wand.

Agreed. I've moved on from Opti-Bond Tire Gel.

I just mix up a gallon of water w/ 2x the normal ONR rinse less dilution and start by spraying that at the top of the panel simply to reliquify the crud and let it start falling off the panel. Make a bucket of regular ONR rinse less (<insert your favorite rinse less here>) and have second...

I use a regular hardware store 1gl tank sprayer w/ wand w/ ONR to pre-wet the panels before I even hit it w/ ONR & BRS for rinseless. It gets most of the crud off (at least where I live).

+1 Duragloss. Tried many of them, this is pretty much the best.

make sure to wash/flood the Citrol/Tarminator cleaned surfaces when done o get it all off.

have you looked at things like Meg's Unigrit system or Abralon disks w/ interface pads?

Has AG or MikeP ever done an article on when to use which type of microfiber, preferably w/ photos of the various weaves etc?
