    b&s orange and white 5.5" pads.... i thought orange was medium cut and white was polishing but they are as hard as a rock and a pain in the ass to work with. Felt like an idiot ordering 4 of each.

    I've got boxes of stuff That I only used once and I regret buying all of them. I'm much more wise in my older age and I have found that I only need 1 compound, 1 finishing polish, 1 AIO, 2 glazes, 1 rinseless wash, 1 conventional wash, and 1 LSP. For weekly maintenance after every wash I use 1 product and have thrown out all detail sprays.
    In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

    FK 425. Bought a gallon based on reviews and recommendations.

    When it worked, it worked great. When it didn't, it streaked badly and it was almost impossible to get the streaks out. It was a crapshoot as to which would happen, and it only ever streaked badly onthe hood (one hint that it was temperature related).

    Called the experts here at AG, they suggested using it in a 50% solution, which helped. I think it was a combination of heat, humidity, and really dark blue paint.

    Finally used the last of it up. Now am using UWW+ as a cleaner/QD and BF Midnight Sun Instant Detailer. Very happy.

    Lexol twins - Left the seats greasy and sticky. Didn't care much for the smell so I never understood what the whole hype was.

    Cheap microfibers lol you get what you pay for.

    I agree with you on the Lexol. There are so many better products that don't leave the leather sticky feeling and smell much better.

    Where do I begin? The price, the durability, or the looks? It looks no better than your average wax. It is as durable as a wet paper towel. The price is also too high.
    OptiCoat is a great product. You should try it.
