    After washing my car for the first time yesterday (by hand) I discovered TONS of little orange iron spots all over the body so definitely glad I bought Iron X. Now I just have to wait for all the goodies to arrive and make sure I know what I am doing! I also seem to have some pretty hard water...

    Gold Plush Jr vs. Meg's Supreme Shine MF towels

    That's how I was thinking about double sided - plush on both sides.

    Gold Plush Jr vs. Meg's Supreme Shine MF towels

    Thanks for the input! The only thing I don't like about Gold Plush is that they aren't double sided. The Meg's are a tad more attractive from that aspect along with better $

    Gold Plush Jr vs. Meg's Supreme Shine MF towels

    Looking for some input for those who have used both. I am looking for a good MF towel for general use but mainly removing polish and wax and using QD for touchups. The Meguiar's Supreme Shine are cheaper and seem to have great reviews and comments and I like that they are double sided. The Gold...

    I went ahead and got the PC 7424XP bundle with book. I think it should work for my application and budget. Since I will not be doing any severe correction work and just some maintenance polishing and waxing a few times a year I didn't feel the GG unit was necessary for me. A few more questions I...

    I already had the Meguiar's Ultimate liquids for free so the purchases I made yesterday were for the PC polisher kit, Mother's wheel brush, Nanoskin Mitt, and X Iron. Outside of the wheel wooliees and a bottle of wheel cleaning spray I think I am set up well, for now...I just really want to get...

    Well I went ahead and ordered a Fine Nanoskin Mitt tonight because I think it will save me quite a bit of time and work. Should I use QD with the mitt or just normal shampoo and water from a bucket like a wash mitt? Also, While reading Mike's "How Getting Started with Your New Car" tutorial he...

    You answered one of the questions before I asked it!! I wasn't sure if I HAD to polish between clay and wax or if I can wash, clay, wax? As far as just a wash and wax do you do that every couple months? I feel silly that I've pretty much just run my cars through the auto carwash but really...

    Which Nanoskin mitt would you recommend - Fine grade instead of medium grade? I have been back and forth on just getting a clay bar kit or mitt but I am all for something that is less labor intensive! I am assuming you don't use the mitt on every wash as that means you would probably have to...

    That's odd, I just saw your message after I checked out and used the code. It gave me 15% off before I even read the fine print. I probably don't need the polisher right away but my arms and shoulders can't take the abuse of hand waxing both cars. My logic was that if I get a machine to help...

    I am currently comparing the Griot's Meguiar's Paint Perfection kit ($190) vs. the Porter Cable Value Kit ($155) with the 15% discount both seem like a good deal especially for a beginning looking to save some coin. Just need to make a decision understanding that with my budget and time...

    Thanks for the quick reply! I was looking at the Master Blaster and was way too expensive but didn't see the side kick, I'll definitely check that out! I hadn't even thought of a DA polisher because as a teen car enthusiast I had heard of people burning paint, creating worse swirl marks, etc...

    Hello everyone! After snooping the forums as a visitor for the past few days I decided that I needed to join and get some help. I am beginning to build my product inventory for my personal garage to maintain my two vehicles - 2017 White Charger Scat Pack and 2017 Charcoal Gray Chrysler Pacifica...
