ADS order #2

[CumminsCrazed]

Hey guys, this is kinda long but just wanting all you profession guys to look over this and make sure theres nothing i either left out or something i can remove due to being very similar to another product in the cart or something that just isnt needed any more. No point spending money on something that wont be needed, some products in here are for SS paint. Please let me know what you think and critique the list, tell me what needs adding or removed.

Re: ADS order #2

in my opinion

Remove the white sprayers (you already have 3 chemical reistant for the 3 bottles)
Change 1 yellow pad for a burgundy cutting pad (you never know if in the future you might need something more "agressive")
any reason for the order of different tire dressing aplicators?
you might wanna add some m205 its awesome stuff
also personaly i would change the clay for the mild-blue profecional clay.

those are the things that i would change heheh

Re: ADS order #2

You can never have enough pads, towels, and Water Magnets. You may want to go ahead and buy the Meguiars Wash Mitt in bulk though.

You might want to have the Mild and Aggressive Pro Line clays on hand instead of the SS replacement.

Re: ADS order #2

really? is the SS clay not "harsh" enough or what? Im gonna only buy 1 wash mit first and see how i like it, ive ALWAYS used sheeps wool in the past so im pretty partial to that.

in my opinion

- Remove the white sprayers (you already have 3 chemical reistant for the 3 bottles) confused on how i already have 3?
- Change 1 yellow pad for a burgundy cutting pad (you never know if in the future you might need something more "agressive") ive definitely thought about this, however cutting pad on DA is bad news
- any reason for the order of different tire dressing aplicators? lots of trucks/SUVs and lifted truck here with BIG tires
- you might wanna add some m205 its awesome stuff Already have 32oz
- also personaly i would change the clay for the mild-blue profecional clay. Again, is the SS clay not aggressive enough?

those are the things that i would change heheh

I've used those sm arnold sheepskin mitts for many years and they are excellent. Also the fact they are thumbless is even better, I even cut of the cuff which I like it even better.

Re: ADS order #2

There is also the possibility of a cutting pad + bonnets for wax removal.

As for the clay, the Mild Clasy is a little stonger. On a good surface, it would be pretty even, but on a more messed up surface, it would be a time saver.

Re: ADS order #2

- confused on how i already have 3? yeah you are buying 3 bottles and also buying 2 white sprayers and 3 chemical sprayers. (3 bottles 5 sprayers? or iam i missing something lol)
- ive definitely thought about this, however cutting pad on DA is bad news, i have been using my g220 with mostly burgundy pads with no problems, i had to do an audi and still with burgundy pad and 105 i was having slow process removing the swirls.
- lots of trucks/SUVs and lifted truck here with BIG tires- Ahhh OK
- Already have 32oz
- Again, is the SS clay not aggressive enough? i use the ss/blue/red clay, you can get by with the white refill clay, but sometimes you might get a car with heavy contamination or paint overspray, having a more agresive clay will help you work faster and get better results, its better to be prepared for anything!!

Re: ADS order #2

looks like a nice order , dude if i walked into Lordco right now and bought ONE 7'' inch soft buff pad, i would be paying about 44$ including taxes HHAHAHA

Re: ADS order #2

One thing I would consider adding to your already healthy order is 4" pads and a backing plate (if needed). I wouldn't want to go without them.

Regarding the cla that others were mentioning. I wondering about your single stage paint. If it's on an older car whatever is bonded to it may be bonded very well. I had a bit of difficulty removing contaminates with the smooth surface clay on my 1980 Camaro paint. I'm not sure if it's because it was there so long or if it's due to the contaminant being able to bond itself better into softer SS paint. That being said, you may want to consider the mild professional clay as it is slightly more aggressive.

Re: ADS order #2

I would get 1 gallon of D151 and 32oz of M105.

12oz isn't going to go very far.

Also, what is the difference between M66 and 151?

I definitely suggest getting some cutting pads.

[CumminsCrazed]

Re: ADS order #2

id like to try the 151 and 105 before i spend the big bucks getting 32oz and 1 gal if i end up not caring for one of both. thats why i got 12oz samples. itll be enough to get to 4-6 vehicles.

Not sure on diff in 151 and 66, thats partially one reason i posted this, to see if anyone said to drop one and keep the other or vice versa, so far no one but you has even mentioned it.

The thing that scares me with the cutting pads is their not recommended for DA use which is all i have. I dont want to use one and end up marring the **** out of the paint and making more work for myself.

Re: ADS order #2

The thing that scares me with the cutting pads is they're not recommended for DA use

Not officially recommended, officially being the key word. There are lots of things that detailers do, that is not officially recommended. Meguiar's needs to be careful of word choice. ie. using a DA polisher on speed 6 is not officially recommended, but at times it's necessary for isolated short bursts.

If a DA is your only option, some times that cutting pad comes in handy, simply plan to follow up your work with a polishing pad. They really aren't that scary.

Re: ADS order #2

D151 is much stronger than #66. It also can be wiped off almost immediately and still leave some protection behind.

I wouldn't count on 12oz of 151 OR 105 lasting 4-6 vehicles.
