Meguairs and Kevin Brown have ushered in a new era when it comes to personal car detailing, and even pro car detailing for that matter.
PC's/DA buffers were always considered second fiddle to the rotary for correction ability and the ability to finish down to a very fine level. While I still think that *overall*, the rotary still wins the competition, the new Meguairs products used with KB's method takes the PC/DA to an entirely new level.
Autopia has always/will always have a ton of new guys asking, "what should I get to go with my PC?" threads/posts. The following is just my take on it, and of course I'd love to hear others opinions as well.
1. Get yourself a PC, UDM, G110, Flex DA (pick one as your budget will allow)
2. Buy six inch foam pads (or smaller), with the appropriate backing plate. I'd recommend nothing more aggressive than a medium cutting pad (like Lake Country Orange foam), because DA/PC type buffers can leave nasty, NASTY polishing marks when used with aggressive cutting foam pads. Get several no bite foam pads, too (LC red, blue, grey, black, etc.)
3. Buy a bottle of Meguairs M105, and read up on Meguairs web site on how to use it with a DA buffer. It's time well-spent, and will save you much more time than it takes to read up about it.
4. Buy a bottle of Meguairs M205 and do the same thing as in 3.
5. Wash your car with whatever your prefered car wash soap is.
6. Clay your car
7. Use your DA style buffer with M105 and your medium cutting foam pad as per Meguair's instructions.
8. User your DA style buffer with M205 with your no bite foam pad as per Meguair's instructions.
9. Apply whatever LSP (Last Step Product) sealant or wax you happen to like.
10. Go relax... it's been a long day.

me. Mine shed fibers quickly (as in lots of 'em all over the panel) and (not-so-micro) marred up my Jag so much I was, uhm...upset. I haven't used them since and simply would *never* risk another such incident. Can't help but wonder if I somehow got defective SurBufs or picked a polish that just didn't work with 'em (forget what I used, this was quite a while ago).
Mind you, it has what I would classify as moderate swirls- I was expecting to need UC or M105 first.
