Orbiter Pad Recommendations
I have orbiter I got from Sears a couple of years ago. If you’ve been reading this forum you know I am getting ready to detail Hoss before Thanksgiving. The paint is desperately in need of some attention. Has spider webbing real bad! I have been given advice from other posts about how to remove the swirls but I have a question about the pads for the orbiter.
Here is the process I am going to follow (thanks Big Screw):
For the best results on black, follow these steps:
1. wash - meguiar's gold class shampoo/conditioner
2. clay bar - mother's or whoever you prefer
3. swirl remover - meguiar's #9 or colorx
4. polish - meguiar's #7 polish/glaze (swirls WILL be gone!)
5. wax -meguiar's NXT wax
6. wait an hour
7. wax - meguiar's NXT wax
8. admire!
The orbiter came with a few blue cotton pads, and one thick fluffy white one. What would you experts out there recommend on how I should use the pads? Should I purchase some additional ones? If so what type and quantity? How are you guys using your orbiters?
Thanks in advance for all advice and recommendations

Anyway, the bonding that is happening is down on a molecular level. With a standard carnauba or similar, the layer of wax that you apply simply sits on top of the paint. A sealant (or at least the ones that I know of) will actually go a step beyond that and share charges (on the molecular level) with the paint on your vehicle. The 24-hour notion is to allow this to happen thouroughly...

Hey fellas I have a concern about detailing next week. The weather projection is not good. Looks like rain/snow and highs in the 40’s all week.
Is it recommended to detail in temps close to say 70 degrees or so? I have a two-car garage so room isn’t an issue, but it isn’t heated. Is it going to be too cold for the products to work fully to their potential?
Oh and dzervit- what are MF Bonnets?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
