Mike's article on How to Detail a New Car was extremely helpful to me when I did mine a couple of months ago. I'm getting ready to do a full detail again and then Opti Coat it. I had the wheels/tires switched out recently (didn't like what came on the car), so cleaned, clayed, polished, then...

I beat you to it. It's a horrible towel for paint. I used it once and it scratched and started pilling after one wash. I now use it to towel dry my hair (good for that). They will stand by their promise to buy you another towel of your choosing if you aren't satisfied with theirs and/or refund...

I too am new to this product. After using it a few times, I ordered a gallon during the recent sales. I love the smell as well! (It's even a bit chilly down here in Rio Grande Valley, TX.)

Wow, that's a really, really nice prize! Let's see...if I can just type that about 6950 more times! ;)

Very much appreciated!

Glad to see this thread Art. You asked a lot of questions I had and got good answers. I'll be Opti-coating my car in a couple of weeks. First time for me too. Thanks!

Don't forget to choose your add on Bonus. The three orange pads is the best deal IMO.

It's the 25 ft cord model for $99.99. Only available for the next few hours.

Everyone will have different opinions. I don't care for the towels Bill posted for QD (they're too "sticky" on my hands when dry). My favorite are the Arctic White towels. Just picked up some more recently. I have no problems controlling either towel, but on dry hands, the Arctic White feels...

Sure you can use the pads that come with it, but the 5.5 inch pads are easier to use from what I've been told. As far as the number of pads go, I was fine with an orange, white, and black, but would get doubles for two cars. I'm sure if you ask them, they will substitute the 5.5 inch pads for...

:iagree: I bought the GG with a 5 inch backing plate and 5.5 inch LC pads. It is easy to use, works great, and has a lifetime warranty. I also considered the Harbor Freight DA, but after reading in that thread, I decided to go with the GG. I was scared to use it at first, but after reading and...

:laughing:

Very nice job. The paint looks really pretty now!

Very nice organization! I too have that three drawer bin (you're right, I need another too) and just bought those same bags yesterday while at Home Depot getting some screening. They work great.

Good job! I recently did my Mom's (same car, but worse on the outside) and was really happy with the results. For a newbie, it was very gratifying to see that night and day difference. :)

Hey, I'm right next door to you in McAllen! :welcome:

:iagree: I had no problems using it this way. The key is to use sparingly.

As was suggested, the Fred Miranda forum is an excellent resource as well as Photo.net. Both have specific Nikon forums with very helpful, friendly people. I started out with a Nikon D40, then a D90, and now have a D7000. The first place I started my learning curve with the different cameras was...

I'll guess 26.2 miles.
