I honestly would invest in a Random Orbital (Griots or PC XP) When used with the proper pad and compound....swirl marks disappear in seconds. I am a detailing newb just as you....and asked the same questions you are now asking. I just used the Griots buffer with WG twins on my car in WOW is all...

Well the Polisher being back ordered has held up the rest of my order. I was expecting to get to work on the car first of next week. SO I have decided to cancel my order for the polisher with AG and buy direct. This way the rest of my order will ship from AG and be here next week...with the...

Griot is on Backorder I placed my order 2 days ago....Received in email telling me that AG wont get any in until the middle of next week. After that due to the holidays and being in Oklahoma, I wont see the polisher for 2 weeks. The Thursday the week after thanksgiving. Just wanted to let you...

Autogeek pick me for a Flex Knife!

Why thank you! 85rd is on the way as well. :xyxthumbs:

Purchased my Griot last night! :xyxthumbs:

I definitely will. Are most suggesting 2 coats of the DGS for winter protection?

Thanks everyone for all of your Advice! I ended up purchasing: 1) Griots Garage Polisher 2) DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss 3) Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay 4) FK 425 Ultra Slick Final Body 5) 5'' HD Backing Plate 6) Microfiber Detergent 7) WG Swirl Remover 8) WG Finishing Glaze 9) WG Deep Gloss...

You actually brought up a good point. You said that I may buff the car once or twice a year. My question is....If I enjoy going to car shows and showing off the car every couple of weeks should I buff it before each show? My car is a daily driver and we live on the outskirts of the City and...

Thanks for your prof opinion Barry. It definitely makes sense to separate the enthusiast from someone that does this for a living. I can see your point on product choice. You had some very good suggestions and I will take what you said and run with it. Probably going to make my purchase this...

If you guys were to pick detail supplys from scratch from a start to finish detail...which would U use? My thoughts: 1)Need to wash the car with some kind of soap (Suggestions) -Ive also heard of P21S for a cleaner? 2)Going to dry with a leaf blower (need a drying towel suggestion) 3)Next is...

Also is there a Griot Kit that you would recommend? Something that would encompass all that I would need? Or should I build my own? Also on the MF...what is the 2 bucket system?

I am far from a noob when it comes to following instructions hehe does that count? I have a lot of car products in my garage and have been a religious detailer of my own rides for along time. I am patient and I will take my time to get it right....so Im not too affraid to go straight to the...

Barry, Great post! I wish I could justify the Flex right. The griots will have to do I guess. Is there that much difference between the Flex and Griots? If I spend a little more time with the Griots with a 5.5'' pad...will that compare? I appreciate your honesty Barry and I hope to find a...

Would love to purchase the flex as I have heard amazing things about it, but $300 for a polisher just doesnt compute with me. My mentality was spring for the Griot, pads, chemicals, etc for now and purchase a High Speed Dewalt or Mikita down the road. That way I have the best of both worlds...

Thanks for the advice :dblthumb2: And thats a nice 09' you have there. I have heard good things about the Menzerna product name. Just havent desyphered what each product does for the paint and what products to use in combination, with what pad ect

Ok had to look up what WG was... DOH! Wolfgang Car Care Products When you say Twins? What are you refering to? Sorry for the trivial question.

I posted my questions here in the Detail 101 thread http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/21808-2007-mustang-gt-noob-help-buffer-pads-etc.html

You guys are welcome to treat me as though Im a 5yr old and instruct me. Im not affraid to swollow my pride and say.....I need some step by step instructions :) Never have used Pads before...just used bonnets to apply polishes and waxes with the Craftsman orbital. Ive been watching videos on...

Thank you :xyxthumbs: I will most likely purchase a High Speed Rotary down the road such as a DeWalt or Mikita, but will not be using it until I have mastered the skillset. For now I am looking for the closest thing!! hehe I hear the Flex is the way to go, but I dont think I want to drop...
