[QUOTE=Budsjlm;546855]Drive down to st. Paul and i'll show you!

I have come to the realization that the cheap walmart/costco/samsclub ect towels are good for general cleaning but when it come to paint you want quality, must have silk boarder becuase your likly to cause marring with the stitching


Spend a little extra on the MF, the stitching is generally the cause of the swirls.

I only use Adam's product & MF towels, here is a link, they clean up in the wash easily just separate cleaning from polishing uses.

If you head down or over this way we could do a MN meet and mini detail.

Agree with Autogeek being a great site for learning and purchase, I stick with Adam's for the most part as the support is amazing. You can always get help anytime & the owner himself has responded numerous times via the forum or answered the phone when called.

They also have all US made products which is another reason I use them.

So any chance you will make it to Mpls/St. Paul this summer?

That video series was great! I knew some of what he was saying but the specifics I didn't know. It took a long time but it was worth it in my eyes. I just wanna get rid of my walmart stuff and buy professional grade now! ha

Just remember detailing is an art not a science, you just have to have patience and practice.

I have a nice beat up 01 Acura that is the test pilot, will miss it when it finally dies.
