    I just bought the DA pads from Premium Auto. They are good quality pads. Or you can order the Meg`s wheels from them also. If you haven`t ordered your PC yet check out Coastal Tools
    http://www.coastaltool.com/cgi-bin/S...519+1079597607 that is the best price I have found and it comes with the Hook & loop backing plate and counter weight. Of course if you buy the Meg`s wheels you would use them. Hoped this helped!

    "Poorboys Polish w/ Wax or without?"

    You mean Polish w/ Carnauba (Carnauba is not a wax, but an ingredient generally used in a wax)
    Without Carnauba would mean EX-P or ProPolish. Which do you mean? (PwC is a great 1 step product

    What is a good wax or sealant? There are TONS! But I`m sure DC can recommend a few depending on:

    What car? year? color? condition? – Daily Driven? Garaged? Battered?

    What do you want to spend? Where are you willing to spend?

    How much effort / labor / trouble / time ?

    Is it a light color or dark color?

    What do you want?

    Some combos to consider -

    PwC/EX
    PwC/S100
    PwC/EX/S100
    VM/EX
    VM/ CMW
    VM/EX/CMW
    PP/EX-P
    PP/Natty`s
    PP/EX-P/Natty`s

    [substitute Pinnacle Souveran as a higher cost alternative to S100 or CMW]

    If it has flawless paint, throw in SSR1 just incase for very small scratches / swirls or step up with PP and a terry cloth.

    As for a PC, get one from Coastal Tool, as they sell a kit thats too good to be true. Consider the counterweight and the backplate.

    Hope everyone answered your questions.

    Sounds like your leaning towards Poorboy products - good choice they are awesome - (and you want a PC)-

    If you plan on getting the PC from a store like lowes or what have you - you will need a velcro backing plate and an assortment of pads - (this is how I got started - excatly) I ordered the Meguiars kit from Dwayne at premiumautocare.com - comes with three pads and the velcro backing plate

    as far as poorboy products - I would go with Polish With Carnuba and EX (or EX-P - I have not tried it yet but I love PwC and EX). I would also suggest a bottle of Spray and Wipe and some of his QD+

    Those 4 products should keep your car showroom shiny.

    You can do a full detail with the PC and PwC - then follow that with a hand applied layer of PwC. Then use the PC and the Meg`s soft buff pad to apply EX - wait 45 mins and remove. Then 24 hours later, do a quick clean up with Spray and Wipe and hand apply another layer of Ex...That should do you for 6 months if you keep it clean with S&W and then use the QD+ to keep up the shine.

    Hope that helps.
