Another G110 Order - Suggestions Welcome

[MtCamry09]

Hello everyone

Well I'm placing my 2nd order to ADS for the G110, plus a bunch of other stuff. Almost ready, but had a few questions before clicking that wonderful check out button.

1) I read this thread: How to tape-off a car, but I was wondering how do you polish at the edges of body panels where it's taped? Most of the pictures I've seen around here don't have those areas taped (just plastics and uneven areas); do you just go over the seems and clean afterwards?
2) I'm only ordering 7" pads (2x Polish 1x Finish w/ Kit, plus 3x Polish 3x Finish), I don't think 6.5" will make much of a difference for smaller areas (I don't see smaller pads available). So, would it be okay to not have the pad fully on a surface (a 3" strip at the edge of a trunk)?
4) How far can I get with a 32oz. bottle? 1-pass (maybe 2 in some areas) on a 4-door car?
3) Last but not least, any suggestions on anything else I should order? I already have APC+, plus a bunch of consumer line products (NXT 2 wash/wax, SwirlX, ScratchX 2, UC, clay kit).

Here's what's in my cart:

1x Meguiar's G110 Dual-Action Polisher Express Kit
1x Meguiar's Soft Buff 2.0 7" Foam Pad Combo (Bundle : 3-Polish 3-Finish)

1x 32-oz Meguiar's Ultra Cut New Version - DA Poisher Approved
1x 32 oz. Meguiar's M205 Ultra Finishing Polish
1x Meguiar's D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream, 32 oz. Sampler
1x Meguiar's PlastX Plastic Polish
1x Meguiar's COLORx 1-Step Car Wax & Polish

1x 1-Gal Meguiar's D120 Glass Cleaner Concentrate
1x Meguiar's D170 Hyper Dressing Concentrate
1x Meguiar's D155 Last Touch
1x 1-Gal Meguiar's D160 All Season Dressing

1x Meguiar's Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner
1x Meguiar's Endurance High Gloss Tire Gel
12x Curved Foam Tire Dressing Applicator Pad 2-Pack

1x Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner Plus Bottle 32 oz
1x Meguiar's All Season Dressing Bottle 32 oz.
1x Meguiar's Glass Cleaner Bottle 32 oz.
1x Meguiar's Hyper Dressing Bottle 32 oz
1x Meguiar's Last Touch Bottle 32 oz.

2x Meguiar's Supreme Shine Microfiber 3 Pack
1x SM Arnold Detail Stix 100 Pack

1x Meguiar's Quik Out Carpet Cleaner Foam
1x Meguiar's M40 Vinyl & Rubber Conditioner

Should I just reroute my paycheck to Meguiars?...

Thanks guys!

1) I read this thread: How to tape-off a car, but I was wondering how do you polish at the edges of body panels where it's taped? Most of the pictures I've seen around here don't have those areas taped (just plastics and uneven areas); do you just go over the seems and clean afterwards?

You only polish painted areas of any vehicle with your DA. Any small area that is too small for the DA, use the compound/polish by hand in that area. Any Cracks, emblems, etc Clean any residue with Swabs, or soft brush.

2) I'm only ordering 7" pads (2x Polish 1x Finish w/ Kit, plus 3x Polish 3x Finish), I don't think 6.5" will make much of a difference for smaller areas (I don't see smaller pads available). So, would it be okay to not have the pad fully on a surface (a 3" strip at the edge of a trunk)?

7" pads are the standard right now. Yes, its okay to not have the pad completely on the surface with a DA, but not a rotary for long periods of time. Just make sure you spread the product on the paint surface before takign a portion of the pad off the surface to get areas you described, otherwise you'll get product slinging everywhere!

4) How far can I get with a 32oz. bottle? 1-pass (maybe 2 in some areas) on a 4-door car?

32oz will last you a long time! Especially with a 4 door car. Multiple passes and buffing sessions with it. You'd be surprised how little of product you need to get results. The less product, the better cut. Read through on how to prep, apply, and clean on the fly, here on the forum, before you use the DA.

3) Last but not least, any suggestions on anything else I should order? I already have APC+, plus a bunch of consumer line products (NXT 2 wash/wax, SwirlX, ScratchX 2, UC, clay kit).

It looks like you are set, but I'd get more Supreme Shine and/or ADS microfibers for use with polish/wax removal, interior cleaning, wheels, etc.

Thanks for the info

Quick question:

http://www.autodetailingsolutions.net/microfiber-bonnet.html

Will these bonnets still fit over a 7" pad (finishing pad?)

Edit:
Nevermind, I was looking under the wrong category (Microfiber Towels, instead of Car Polishers & Pads)
Found these: http://www.autodetailingsolutions.ne...er-bonnet.html

Doh!
