Default Just spent a wad of cash

Yep, just spend $369 (ironically) on some new gear:

UDM
6.5" pad kit
Plexus
P21s wax
P21s cleansing lotion
Tire applicators
BLACKFIRE tire gel
Glass polishing kit for DAs
Microfiber cleaner
Microfiber kit

This is probably the quickest I have dropped money like this on a car, and its all thanks to the Wash and Wax forum. I spent a good 3 to 4 months on a cold air intake for my last car and that was less than $200! I guess this is a testament to the readiness of information, expertise and enthusiasm of this forum!

I know what you mean, I dropped a bunch of $$ last month. This is a great place for information on products. I'd be interested in your opinion of the tire gel.

If it's any comfort to you I've spent WAY more money on detailing products than $369. My two Edge 2000 pad kits (flat pads & wave pads) plus the adapters cost $220 by themselves.

Anyway, does your car have any cob web marks? If it does you'll also want to invest in a polish that's more aggressive than the paint cleaner you bought.

I don't have any cobwebs or anything, I just wanted something to make my life a little easier.

I will need a more aggressive polish for my fiancee's Mustang though. That reminds me... she has a bunch of little "specks" all over her bumpers along with "stains". I clayed it for a LONG TIME yesterday and it didn't do much but give it a smooth feel What could I use with the UDM to fix these little imperfections?

I'm really anxious now to get this thing!
