    Thanks for all the insight guys. I'm going to pull the trigger! Do you guys recommend purchasing white or orange pads? (Or a few of both) I'll be working on my single cab ram and my wife's Mercedes c300 using 3D Polish+ and the porter cable Both are black with with light to moderate swirls...

    Haha ive fought the addiction for a while! So about 6 pads per polishing step? I'm definitely only doing a single step and using cancoat instead of sealer.

    Can anyone recommend a detailer in los angeles to do a one-step (wash, clay, polish, sealant/wax) for me? I'm in the gardena/torrance area.

    Hello from la

    Hi guys, ive always been a huge fan of quality detailing, but really I don't feel like I have the time or know how to do it myself. I was wondering if you guys could recommend someone in LA (Torrance/Gardena) area that could do a solid one step for me. thanks j
