Random_Hero Random_Hero Post Master Registered: 08/28/03 Posts: 2085 Loc: No left turns NJ	I just bought the UDM and I am looking to get pads and some products but I am having a hard time deciding. I was thnking of going Poorboys then I was thinking Menzerna. I am not a detailing noob, but I am when it comes to using a machine. Im just looking for something that is easy to work with for my first time. Any advice/suggestions would be great. _________________________ Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold, I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe.

Chemical Guys Pro Polish is the shit as well. I like Pete's 53 wax as well for dark colored cars. Give them a call and talk to Paul. Tell him John and Jeremy from San Diego reccomended you. He'll take care of ya $\:\)$ _________________________ Garen mundua konkistatzen delako joan!

Im not really going to do any older cars. Mostly newer ones if that helps at all. _________________________ Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold, I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe.

SD91RS SD91RS Post Master Sr Registered: 09/14/01 Posts: 7436 Loc: Bakersfield, CA	That's a highly debated topic, but from what I've heard is true. $;\)$ I'd just get their MPT pads. Yellow for cutting, white for polishing and blue for finishing. I use them on my PC and have been happy with the results. _________________________ Garen mundua konkistatzen delako joan!

Menzerna's should be used with a more (machine) experienced detailer. Also, if you go onto http://www.autogeek.net, and search for the Lake County Pads, those are foolproof and are highly recommended. Snag the Poorboy's SSR2.5, SSR1.0, for swirl removal (the 3.0 is VERY intense and should not be used by a noob machine user). -Matt _________________________ 2016 4Runner Trail Edition \| 2000 Honda S2000

So long as it's a "safe" or "idiot-proof" pad, any of the known companies will work just fine. _________________________ History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to endure.

SD91RS SD91RS Post Master Sr Registered: 09/14/01 Posts: 7436 Loc: Bakersfield, CA	Yeah, buy it from Chemical Guys since it's all the same shit. You can buy that stuff by the gallon and save money/split it up with friends, etc. _________________________ Garen mundua konkistatzen delako joan!

SD91RS SD91RS Post Master Sr Registered: 09/14/01 Posts: 7436 Loc: Bakersfield, CA	LOL my bad. You can try the polish with the blue pad, but I don't think you'll get the results you want since it's a finishing pad. I'd use a white pad with the PP. You really only need a sealant, but can always throw on a coat of wax fir a little extra pop. _________________________ Garen mundua konkistatzen delako joan!

2000CheetahStud 2000CheetahStud Post Master Supreme Registered: 02/10/03 Posts: 49866 Loc: Cincinnati, OH	I'd go with the EXP over the other. However, Id also recommend getting a nice carnauba to top off the sealant with. Lusso Oro, P21S (new or old formula) will both work wonders.

dunce11r dunce11r chaturbate stalker Post Master Supreme Registered: 12/04/99 Posts: 15662 Loc: Cali	i actually live a few miles from chemical guys near LAX airport... really small shop, but they do good work... bought the pro polish, but have yet to try it out... ive always been a fan of Megs Speed glaze #80, or #83 DACP if i need more cutting power. then use NXT as the sealant since its a synthetic... then if im bored, i top it all off with old school S100 (same as P21s carnuba). All done with a porter cable of course, and megs or LC pads of different densities. then if im doing a quick detail, i'll use Klasse All-in-one, which is perhaps my favorite product because it cleans and waxes damn well. i am slowly becoming a fan of Clearkote products, like their red moose stuff and machine polishes, for black cars.

dunce11r dunce11r chaturbate stalker Post Master Supreme Registered: 12/04/99 Posts: 15662 Loc: Cali	its their "all in one" tho... or thats what they told me.. which i usually dont like because i dont want any of the sealing/waxing stuff in my polish. MEgs #80 speed glaze is a pure polish, and so is #83 DACP... menerna 106FF i think it was called, is damn good polish that cuts really well... but i like #83 the most if my car has some crazy swirls. 80 and menzerna are about the same, but menzerna is perhaps a little easier to use. this pro polish i bought from CG, i would assume is about the same as my klasse... but i cant wait to use it... sucks im not in town the next 2 weekends to detail the car

SD91RS SD91RS Post Master Sr Registered: 09/14/01 Posts: 7436 Loc: Bakersfield, CA	I don't know why they said it's an AIO... oh well. I use the Pro Polish as a polish then top it off with a some Jetseal 109 or with some wax. _________________________ Garen mundua konkistatzen delako joan!

SD91RS SD91RS Post Master Sr Registered: 09/14/01 Posts: 7436 Loc: Bakersfield, CA	Looks great on the hood of my Firehawk. I topped it off with Pete's '53 as well. Over the summer I'll apply it to the whole car. Haven't had the chance to test the durability of it since the car sits in the garage most of the time. _________________________ Garen mundua konkistatzen delako joan!
