Hello Guys/Gals,

Im a new guy here in AGO! Been reading and watching videos for some time and decided to join the forum.

I bought a 2013 black accord about a month ago and with -0 knowledge on washing cars i decided to buy Megs New car kit at Walmart.
I will never try to polish and wax with hands again! :nomore:.
Long story short after reading and doing research i got down to this:
*Griot’s Garage Random Orbital Perfect Starter Kit- 3rd Gen
*Swapping out the 6.5" pads with 5.5" and buying extra orange, white pads.
*Buying 5" backing plate, 1 black pad.
*Grit guards

What i already have:
*Megs - Wash Mitt, Waffle Weave,Ultimate Polish, Ultimate wash and wax, Ultimate Wax, Ultimate Detailer and clay.
*Stoners Invisible Glass
*Lots of MF from costco(35 for $15)

I think i picked up a new hobby/therapy. I'm actually selling my snowboarding gears for this. LOL:laughing:

I still have questions that i can't seem to find doing search.
*If i get the 5" backing plate does it mean the 6" doesnt have any use anymore?
*Should i just stick with the 6" BP?

Watching all the videos made me dizzy, but its worth it!Im the MAN
Have a nice day peeps!

Works great for the 6" Nanoskin Autoscrub pads.

Not if you want to use 5.5" buffing pads or even 5 to 5.5" microfiber pads. Click the below link for more information.

Welcome!!!! Nice to see another new member from the SF Bay Area coming on board.

Different Pad does different things.

Hello:cool pics:Nice chart! Tnx fellow bay area. I was wondering more on the different product to use on the same pad. Like using megs on 1 pad then black fire or others on the same pad? or do i need to have just 1 pad per product use and have another pad for another product?

It is a good practice to not cross contaminate. I would recommend getting more pads.
