Holy Cow! That's a lot of stuff! Just for S&G's, wouldn't one of the detail packages been more cost effective? Maybe you did your homework on your supplies, but just wondering.

I really liked to see that you ordered 3 different kinds of QD in sampler size (well, the A-line was in regular size, but that's your only option). I find that some people like one better than another, so I think that for you to try out several and pick your favorite was a WISE move.

Also, I liked the idea of getting 2 colors of gritguards (presumably to separate wash/rinse)... And the 2 colors of MF towels. separation of the same product for different purposes is also wise IMO.

I would agree with the other post-- you probably would have saved $ by getting a kit (Rick is usually willing to swap products similarly priced in and out of the kits) But it is your perogative.

BTW-- be careful with the dilution of Hyper wash. Unless I am mistaken, that has a 400:1 dilution ratio, so be ULTRA precise with it. And let me know how you like it because I am thinking of trying it eventually.

Lastly, ENJOY!!! As long as you are happy, you are not wrong in your choice. But you should DEFINATELY take LOTS of befores and afters...

Nice, that's a pretty big purchase. I just helped our economy as well. I went on Poorboy's website with intentions of only spending $16 but ended up spending $100. I received my package today and that was only two days !! The FedEx tracking information said it wasn't going to be to me until Tuesday. I don't have any idea how that happened but I'm not complaining !!

I still am for the most part but I can't wait to try these products out. Hopefully they won't disappoint ME but I don't think I'm going to have a problem.

Thanks everyone for the support. I was buying products before at WallyWorld and thought it was time to move up to some new things and get a DA!

I was looking at the bigger kits, but I really wanted the Edge pads, so that was the route I took and mostly bought some sample products with the waxes and polishes. But I did get a NXT kit so we will see.

BTW you can never have enough MF's around, especially with a wife around that likes to dip into my things.

Need weather to break next week and packages to arrive!
