MAD992 - Ya, I do like AG and I'm just starting to get into PB stuff. I do have their Trim Restorer and I now have some Syn1 to test. I have really been looking at their wheel sealant, natty blue, and black hole.
mrclean81 - I actually really like it. It was a christmas gift I most likely would have never got. For the size it has good power and comes in handy in tight areas or small thin panels. If you like to have all the toys it is a definite must have. If you need remove major defects I use a my PCxp and switch out for my 4" backing plate to use small pads and maintain some serious power.
Lake Country Pads
Lake Country buffing pads is at the top of their game! If you know anything about foam polishing pads, you’re no doubt familiar with this company. They’ve been designing and manufacturing polisher accessories since 1977 and we’d be willing to bet they know a thing or two about car care. In fact, we’re so confident in their expertise, Max enlisted their help to design pads for Palm Beach Motoring Accessories.

It is a sickness, you can get some serious coin wrapped up this obsession.
here are the 9th step promises of detailing.
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.
We are going to know a new paint condition and a new happiness.
We will not regret the past, in fact we’ll take a picture of it.
We will comprehend the words paint correction and we will know gloss.
No matter how far down the scale our paint has gone, we will see how our process and products can benefit others.
That feeling of an ugly car and self instilled swirls will disappear.
We will lose interest in Turtle Wax and gain interest Natty’s Red.
A dull reflection will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon Detailing will change.
Fear of swirls and of burning paint will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle a rotary which used to baffle us.
We will suddenly realize that a foam finishing pad is doing for us what we could not do with a wool pad.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us—sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.

Yes, welcome, Troy.
I wasn't laughing at you... just at my fellow "addict" Dave's post. What is it about this stuff that is so compelling? I guess some guys go crazy over baseball cards, pocket knives, beer steins, wrist watches, whatever.
At least we can rationalize and justify our addiction with shiny cars!

....Concerning a lot of other addictions, you can NEVER get that money back!!! At least with this addiction we can turn those products into money to pay a bill or of course buy more products....

Troy,
That is what I call a superb collection, everything well organized and in place.
Having your equipment and supplied organized allows you to work smarter, easier, and cost effective because you know exactly what you have at any given time.
Thanks for sharing Troy and many can use this as a model or guide for themselves.....
I have the same bag as you and have been trying to figure out what to keep in the "hidden" compartment..........now I know!!
You've added quite a bit in your update and many top shelf products along with a master Blaster!! .
