How do you do that? I'm trying to decide what I want to buy

Justin is a good honest man, I will give him my thumbs up... Does nice honest reviews, and from the looks of his work he is one hell of a detailer!

I don't get free pads for posting the truth from my experiences. I want all of you to have as much info as possible when looking for a new product. I do 4-5 full details a week and over 20+ washes. I see alot of real-world results on lots of different vehicles.

When I can pass on results and I'm excited about a product......WATCH OUT!

Thanks Meghan. I'll be doing a full review of the XMT lineup tomorrow evening. I'm attacking a black 05 Odyssey at 8 AM!
Pray for me....

How did the 05 Odyssey detail go? I have an 05 Odyssey too. I haven't done a detail on it just yet. I'm still learning and practicing on my 8 yr old Accord.

Any tips on how to tackle the beast of a minivan? I find that it's a major undertaking just to properly wash and dry it. It takes me twice as long to do the van as it does to wash the Accord.

How are you going to polish the roof, i.e. how will you get the reach and also be able to apply the proper pressure to the PC?

I was thinking of just using Meg's Deep Crystal paint cleaner and polish (steps 1 and 2) since my van is silver and there are no visible swirls (even in sunlight.) I'll then top off now with 2 layers of NXT.

I've heard really good things though.

Once again, I'm not knocking anyone's pads at all. I still use my Meg's Soft Buff for certain things. I just know that they work and save me time. Major thing for me.
Justin will you have to have Edge (Aron) make the pads or get'em through the Geek?

Go to Edge! It's unreal the Customer Service they give. I had the old versions of the Classic DA & E2K system. Aaron sent me completely new pads at no cost! The newer textures work extremely well. I'm sure the LC VC pads are great, but the Customer Service I get from Edge is unreal!

Justin, exactly how well does XMT Pad Cleaner & Conditioner work? I currently use DP Pad Cleaner and it works fine from a few washes. The bad habit is leaving chemicals in the pad for a few days
