I have heard of guys burning them up by using tint extension cords but that will happen with any polisher. I've broken my Flex twice but my PC's have never given me an issue.

You definitely want the Machine Superwax to protect against bird poop. You say that you have towels. Where did they come from?
What kit do you think would be the best to get?
Oh, and how long does it usually take for you to do the whole wash, dry, clay, polish and wax process? I have been there for 4-6 hrs at times..

It takes me 2 hours just to wash the car alone. If I inspect the paint, fix any damage and apply wax, that would take me the rest of the day. I am not a good gauge to use!

I would call Ashley and ask her if you can get the kit without the polisher. You need everything in order to do it right but I can understand you dropping the polisher and pads. You still haven't said where you got your towels from...

We're working on getting variants of the kit up without the polisher in the mix. The site software for some reason isn't liking the variants so we had to bring in a little help to get it lined up... if you MUST place the order now, call in and we can take care of you.

I anticipate having the variant issue fixed soon.

Sorry for not replying sooner but I have order a whole bunch of product from Adams and used the junkman code. I have gotten the poop off by the use of another companys product. The S&H remover just didn't work. Thanks for all of the help though.

The towels I have are from the Zaino store but guess they can vary from yours. Which have worked best for you in these situations?

Zaino has some excellent towels. I bought some just to see how good they are. The Adam's Plush white towel is a little more thicker but the Zaino towels work just as good. I just wanted to make sure you weren't using something from Costco or Auto Zone!

You're okay in the towel department as long as you have enough.
