I just ordered Megs 105/205 both 32oz bottles. Menzerna 85rd, and megs #21 sealant both 16oz bottles.

I was curious to how long these products last as I have 2 full cars to do and don't want to run out midway through?

Also how long does a 5.5" pad last when used with a 7424xp? Am I going to go through 2 oranges each car or 1per car or ???
When do I know when the pad is finished and can take no more?

Thanks.

You should be able to knock out both of those two cars and have plenty left over...

You usually use more of your heavy correction product on a neglected finish because that's the step where all the work is done.

Polishing goes faster and you use a lot less product.

As for pads, how often you have to change a pad depends upon how bad the paint is and how you're cleaning them,

to clean them,

Nylon brush and just scrape it across the face of the pad
Terry Cloth towel - Clean your pad on the fly technique
