Nice!

The wife has a Nissan Juke and she LOVES it. Nissan also makes the Infiniti line which I loved dearly in a previous car ownership life

Ok guys, sooo on average, how many towels, you would need to properly do the job of removing compound then polish, sealant and wax? It'll be on my Camaro of course. I am still gathering all my products so no progress yet. But I'll stick to meguiars for all products. M105/205 then M21 followed by M26.

I typically end up using around a dozen plush towels from start to finish with one step of paint correction, then a combination of sealant/glaze/wax.

If more correction is called for, I figure 3-4 more towels per step.

Which towels do you used from your guys' arsenal? I still shopping so may be interested in your products. So about 15 towels.. Well I need lots more. I only have 2 quality MF.. Cuz I didn't know how good they were..

That's high compared to what I use. I'd say probably figure on 2 towels for each step you're doing.

So 2 for the prep wipe down, 2 for polish, 2 for sealant, 2 for wax etc.

If you fold your towel into quarters that gives you 8 surfaces per towel.

You're both correct. Generally, my opinion of them is not good. I do really like those two, and I'd throw V7 in there too.
