    Lake Country Pads 7.5" ?

    I just ordered a PC from Coastal (bonus kit). I'm ready to order pads and am looking at the Lake Country from TOL. I just want to make sure that the PC i'm getting has everything it needs to use the 7.5" from TOL (this is a very confusing topic!). I'm deciding between the Orange pad or...

    How often do you polish??

    Count me as one more who just took the PC plunge. After a LOT of reading here, I ordered the bonus kit from Coastal. A couple of questions that I didnt' see in the old threads. 1)How often do you polish. Can you polish too much? 2)Pads, Pads, and more Pads. Is there really a difference...

    Dumb question re: QD

    I'd ask for your indulgence on this one. This is really dumb, and didn't find it in the archives. Anyway, there have been thousands of threads on what kind, comparisons, which MF works best etc. etc. But what is the right way to use to use this stuff? :o How much. A couple of spritzes for...

    Drying: Blot or Pull?

    Any thoughts on this? I'm sure "pulling" is frowned upon here:D Seriously, i'm using a big blue waffle weave MF for drying. Any harm in pulling or is blotting the preffered method? I try to blot as much as possible, but GENTLY pulling on some spots would be much quicker.

    caring for MF towels

    One more question on MF towels. If I use the same towels for the same task, i.e. QD'ng, removing wax, drying, etc. can I just rinse them out in soap and water instead of the washing machine. I've been using the washing machine with other clothes but appear to be getting some lint. There is...

    2 sided MF towels

    I did a search but didn't come up with it. Sorry if it's there. Anyway, my microfibertech elite MF towels have 2 sides to it. One side being much more plush. Which side is used for what. I'll be using these when using QD and buffing off S100.

    should there be anything on the car after washing?

    I wonder if i'm doing something wrong or nit picking (nit picking on a "detail" forum. That's funny). Anyway, I just washed the car using meg. gold class with a chenille wash mitt (2 bucket method) and dried using a big blue micro fiber towel from microfibertech.com. then used Eagle QD with...

    should I have clayed?

    I have a 3 month old Mercedes that I have been washing weekly. Here's what i'm using: Meguiars gold class shampoo, S100 polish, S100 wax, chenille wash mitts, and MF towels. I've also just started to use Eagle one QD. I read here (great site, by the way!) that a good way to see how smooth...

    newb question on QD process

    Maybe a dumb question, but was wondering the correct process for using QD sprays. I only use after I wash (as opposed to a "dry" car) but was wondering if I should dry the car first (MF big blue towel) then QD, or QD while the car still has some water on it after rinsing.

    S100 cleaner and wax. Anything else Ineed?

    First of all, this is a great site. Found it from MB World. I did a search but didn't find my answer. I was up until midnight last night reading as many of the old threads as I could! So if I missed it, don't kill me. Anyway my car is new and I started to use the S100 cleaner and wax. I...
