yep, my gear is mostly Griot's.

I use their ORANGE pads for polishing and RED pads for glaze, sealants, and wax.
i mark the pads so that i use the same polish each time.

they have free shipping until 7/4 so i placed my order too for the small bottle One-Step-Sealant and a few 6" orange pads.

ahhh its finally sun season, so its time for the z's first detail. my friend used to do it with her army of orbitals, but i figured its time to get my own and im loving the 6" RO with that awesome handle. just deciding on what pads i need (not a total noob to detailing mind you, just used to have the pleasure of having a friend do it hehehe)

I think I spent close to 4k in total over the years in car products.... :O terrible I know.
You said anal.

I feel the same way too especially i'm paying near $400/month for it.

I've had the car for over 15 months and i only have 4700 miles so far. that means i only drive 300 miles a month. not worth for paying that much money every month and drive so little.
yeah i feel for you guys in the winter states. you can go stir crazy. i had a boat once and those payments go year round............

Parked it right infront of work downtown so co-workers could drool over it

On my way to work though, I accelerated really fast at one point to get around some car that decided to double park...back got really loose more than I anticpated but still awesome lol

As I got to the next light someone who was behind me pulled up to me and went then

Gotta love those moments

I'm just praying my car doesn't get damaged. We are under a tornado watch until 1pm. There has already been report of a tornado yesterday and today and hail confirmed...lucky, the worst of the storms have dodged me so far...but it looks like the strongest storm is about to hit in like 10 minutes. You should see outside my office...there's a greenish haze. That's NEVER good!

I got you beat regarding the miles put on. I bought mine 16 months ago with just under 12K and now it has just over 13K. The good news is that it's still like brand new. You may have me in the financing dept though....I'm paying "only" $285 per month. Is it money well spent??? I'll let you know when I'm cruising with the top down when it's 70 degrees outside! Right now????? Hard to answer!
