Don't order those wash mitts. I was using them and thought they were awesome. I was getting micromarring and didn't even think about it being caused by the mitt but it surely was. I'd order the SM Arnold Mitts that are made from Lambs Wool. They are about double the price but they are surely worth it. $23 for a 3 pack. Otherwise everything looks good. Of course you could get crazy and spend a bunch of money and buy everything else under the sun.

Hmm i heard to steer away from those lambs wool mitts. but maybe thats just the cheap ones from Target/wal-mart and such. I'll pick a 3 pack of them up though.

You have a black car and love to keep it clean, Thumper. If those SM mitts weren't good, and were marring your paint more, you'd know it. haha
Thanks for the info.

And yea, i'm trying to keep it under $200 for my first order.. When i order a DA later after summer or such i'll throw down some real money.

Sounds good. Like I said, I used to use the Meguiars MFs, I actually have about 20 of them brand new in the bag that are going to be reserved for wheels, tips, and basically grundgy areas. When you use this mitt, you're going to smile and say wow thumper was right and than once you've finished with your car you're going to come on here and tell me I was right. Watch ...

Man.....I just placed an order at ADS (my first as well) and dang it, of course as soon as I hit "Send Payment of ..." I realized it has my old shipping address.

Now I need to get ahold of Rick.

I dont know if you have some, but I just tried the water magnet waffle weaves. They are absolutely the best drying towel I have used to date. I only need one to dry my whole truck off after sheeting the water off with the flood method. But looks like a good order.

I'd go heavy on the HP dressing. I was always seeing people mentioning this stuff and so on my last order I thought I would try some. Holy sh*t! Now I know why, this stuff is awesome. Received it beginning of May and I've ran through about a 1/3 of a gallon already (of course I have been gettin' a little crazy w/the stuff too )

A lot better stuff out there but it works alright if you're using a lot of it. I don't know how you're only using 1 oz of the stuff. The Foam Gun calls for a 4oz for the highest foam setting with 4-6 oz of water in the canister for one wash.
