Thanks, All! I finally made the purchase (more to come later). I decided my first car would be my mom's 2006 Focus which only should need some clay and UP. I bought MEGS #21 and MEGS #26 for a sealant/wax topper combo, but don't have the time to let it sit on her car overnight. I do have some...

Well I made my first purchase! However, I was informed by autogeek customer support that meguiars 4" pads are discontinued and are no longer being carried. That being said, they referred me to lake county pads. Any thoughts or ideas on 4" pads? Any issue with using my 5" megs pads with a...

UP has abrasives in it though; whereas, M7 is plain oils. In regard to the Corolla, since I will have brought it up to par, I thought the M7 could be skipped but didn't know if the abrasives from the UP would be a detriment instead of using a full on polish like M7. In regard to the Impreza...

So I think I've got the handle on this; except that the 4" MEGS pads are on back-order. I've decided to go with the new SoftBuff MEGS 5.5" and 4" pads and will get 2 QTY of the 6 packs of each. So that means 4 of each of the 3 pads, per size! I really like the fact that I can just wash them like...

In doing additional research; I think I'm leaning more to: Compound - UC (Bubba-Proof = Joe Schmo weekend warrior detailer = average consumer = hard to mess up using it) Polish - Still torn; really enjoy the thought of SwirlX as being my lead off point in lieu of UC just in case that is enough...

cardaddy: thanks! I couldn't find that for the life of me; what would your recommendations be in regard to number of pads in that case? I like the washable aspect of the MEGS pads. I guess I will re-work my thoughts on what to buy.

In reading that link, it appears that the 205 is less "Bubba-Proof" than UC but I'm wondering if the aggressiveness of a cutting pad and the 205 is equivalent to the UC and a cutting pad, re: Consumer Line v. Professionals Line. I too look at the MEGS pads, but alas they don't have a 4" pad and...

Isn't M205 a polish and much less aggressive than UC and SwirlX?

Feed back please

I was hoping to use the UP, then SwirlX, then UC if necessary in order to keep with the using the least aggressive product first. Also, why are the flat pads better than the CCS pads?

cardaddy: 1. Why do you prefer the Foam Pad Brush to the duo Spur Cleaning Tool? 2. The Bonnett Kit for wax removal and buffing as the last act on the cars. 3. Since I am only using the orange and white pads for one car, why would I need more than one? I can understand for multiple cars but you...

Hey All, After doing my research, I came up with the following of which I hope to purchase tonight (quick feedback requested!). I know it is less than what you all recommended but I've got to start somewhere and maintain my budget for this; I am also saving for my wedding! Looking for...

I think I'm leaning more to the GG; from what I've read, I need a 5" BP and maybe a 3.5" BP as well. Is it possible to correct the swirls on the Corolla with just a polish instead of a compound?

Also, how does one change the plates on the GG? I see that the PC is almost a bit like a drill.

I have indeed seen the wonders of clay; well worth the time. I intend on applying waxes and sealants via da polisher.
