Thx, I hope the Griot is not too crazy of a machine. I was gonna get the portercable but the Griot was only $20 more for a 7amp vs 4amp motor so I opted for the more robust wiring for longevity.

swanic, damn you. At first I read that and my head exploded! Mike, thanks and don't worry I plan to do exactly that. I watched a bunch of vids already. Seems most people have the same technique except for the "5-dots on the pad" vs "thin bead a few inches long" initiall application. But I think...

Well I took the plunge and got some stuff. First order, and I ordered it here at autogeek.net. Here's what I got, hope I did good for doing weekend warrior stuff for the family rides. Our cars are actually all new (purchased in last year except one), so I got just a polish figuring the paint...

Never mind I think I will get a 3-pack of each: orange, gray, red Looks like two pads per car usually for the weekend warrior.

How many orange cutting pads and gray finishing pads are needed per car? I am filling out my order and am stuck on this. I'd like to get enough to do 2 cars, maybe three. 2 per car per color? i.e. 2 orange and 2 gray for one car? Or will one go the distance?

Nebojsa, i actually plan to use a nano-based product on the car. My friend has an exclusive on it and i get it at cost. I put it on my wife's car 9 months ago and it still sheds everything. Her car usually looks good from rain, dirty road water, as long as she drives fast enough to low it off...

I'll put it on my calendar. My bday is the 17th, too, plus i'm building a house so there will be a lot going on during that weekend! I hope to meet you guys. I'm sure it will be fun.

Awesome answers guys, thx! Ok i thinki will just use the final polish SF4000. Makes sense and peoplemhere seem to like it. Do i need that ironX stuff? Or is the car too new to require it? Is a tornador foaming attach for the air compressor worth $130? I suppose i can use it to clean other...

Ok thx. I appreciate it. After some more time here this is my plan, I plan to: 1) wash 2) iron x 3) clay bar 4) then do menzerna FG400 and SF4000 5) wax Is menzerna overkill for a new car, and instead use something like poorboy ssr1? What are the different colors for polishing pads for? I...

Agthang thx. I started another thread so dont wanna hijack this one. I found the 303. Lee auto a block from my work. Will get some this week.

Hi guys, new to the forum and new to detailing. Chicagoland resident here. I have some questions after browsing this site for a while...I appreciate any answers any of you can give: 1) what do the terms LSP and ISP mean? i gather the P is for polish...? 2) i see guys use electric buffer wheels...

Another question, actually... can i use my air compressor and get an air attachment for a disc to put polishing pads on?

Would love to attend, Woodstock is a bit of a haul though...But maybe I'll make it. I am totally green to car detailing but just got a new vehicle and want to take care of it. I'm thinking I'd learn more on May 18th than in a year reading these threads. Pic below. Couple questions... 1) where...
