I see...thank you for clearing that up. So how do I know if something is DAT or SMAT? We had already bought some Meguiars rubbing compound to remove some smaller stains on our older car.....the bottle says nothing about that on it. Is this something you just learn as you play around with more...

So in essence, CCS types for compounds and swirl removers, Flats for Wax and Polishes....if I'm following?

CCS =( They told me on the phone it already shipped when I went to make the changes...I didnt realize there were two versions when purchasing them and when I saw the flats, it was too late. They said it wont be a huge difference as far as the outcome....I'll take their word for it as they...

I grabbed 3 Orange, 3 White and 2 Reds.....LC's 5.5"s I may grab a 6pack again, but wasnt too sure how often I would use the pads with a cut in them after I fix the older cars finish. For now, I was thinking what I got would be enough....I hope so =)

So for my new car I would really just need to use the Reds correct? No need to use the other colors unless swirls appear?

Well, since you both suggested the Griots, I'll strongly consider that instead! I will try to get a pic of the cars later on, theres not much sun today. But like I said my car is brand new, just got it last Monday and the paint is perfect. I'd like to maintain or improve it by giving it a...

I'm looking to get my first DA system, but I'm a total noob to detailing and I'm getting confused at all the choices. I just bought a brand new car and want to keep it in great condition, I also have a 2000 Grand Am that needs some help.....doing it by hand the other day was more than I...
