    Re: $1,011.71 Help me!

    yeah i figured i would be using less pads for the flex. i thought about the universal pad washer but i don't feel comfortable using it with ccs pads because im worried it would catch into the hole and rip the pad

    Actaully, now that I think of it, the UPW may need to be modified to work with the FLEX . I think the grit guard may have been down to low in the bucket for the FLEX to reach it.

    You need some pad rejuvenator. To be honest the order looks good. If your uncle is giving you the money great. You will make it back. Do you have to pay him back once you make some money?

    I noticed you only have a sealant, no carnubas? Hose bolcker is not really needed. Maybe switch some towels to the indigo's. I think the remove product easier, then 530's and jr's.IMO

    for the pad rejuvenator, can i substitute my mf rejuvenator for it or do i need a dedicated pad rejuvenator and which one should i get?

    I am not really a fan of carnaubas but maybe later ill get some souveran. i've removed the hose blocker (silly me).
    and yes my uncle is expecting to get paid back but how much and when i do not know yet.

Rasky gave me a good tip of getting the meg's supreme shine mf towels in a case of 36 except i cannot find it . if someone has a different opinion about that they are most welcome to share

    and yes my uncle is expecting to get paid back but how much and when i do not know yet.
    You need something to clean the pads. Micro rejuv won't do it. Try the DP pad rejuv. I have the P21S 500ml whell cleaner, and like it. I see you removed it. I guess there are cheaper cleaners out there. So right now the money your uncle is giving you will cover everything. Get it and start making money kid!!

    I would try and cut some stuff out for another 100 bucks and get a nice shop vac with a detachable blower. You can use the vac part obviously for interiors and than you can use the blower for drying. I use mine all the time and it was the best money I have spent.

    I personally really like P21S gel wheel cleaner, but it is pricey...So, unless you have uncoated alluminum wheels, which I wouldn't buy just for this reason alone, I'd just stick with DP Gel wheel cleaner... I'd some money on a good tire gel - Optimum or DP tire gel are the best bang for the buck.

    I would substitute some of the 6.5in pads for some 4s or 5.5s. Once you start polishing you will see the need for them on the smaller areas.

    But he's getting a flex, not a PC. Unless there is a 4" and 5" backing plate for the flex I don't know about?
