Watched OG's DVD again today while home sick and made the decision to invest in some MF bonnets for my PC. Will the ones from Griot's do the trick or are there better, yet afforadbale options out there?

P.S. I think a Monster Fluffy bonnet would change my life....

 

i have the griots bonnets...both cotton and MF type. they work well
on dark colored cars when i have some smears on it.

but i would be very careful not to marr the finish.

 

Hey, Ken, could you elaborate? How could you marr the finish with a MF bonnet? Edumacate me...

 

i thought MF bonnets limited the marring???

 

ditto.

 

well since we are the only people on NAM right now, where in Ne Ohio are you?

 

I've never had a MF bonnet mar the finish. Must be the Griots one that do that.

The Meguiar's bonnets have never marred the finish.

I use the bonnet on all paint types--light or dark. But sometimes, some paints are so scratch sensitive that using your hand to wipe off dried wax will instill new swirls in the paint. In this case, a MF bonnet is essential and literally the only way to remove the wax without instilling more swirls.

Maybe Ken had some dirt or other hard wax particles on the paint before he used the bonnet??

Sadly Meguiar's recently decided to discontinue them cause they weren't selling fast enough?? Just like their brushes and why you find them all at Big Lots now.

ADS sells bonnets too but they are out of stock for another week.

 

crap. DP needs to start make some bonnets for sure. i guess i will order griots for now. is the cleaning process for bonnets the same as regular microfibers?

 

this should do the trick
griots mf bonnet

im assuming the fact that "it can cause heat build up if used on other PC's" is a ploy to buy from griots. that and a cutting pad from DP should work alright correct?

 

Yep, I tried to order those bonnets, but they were out of stock at ADS. So I will order them when they are back in stock.

Live in Fairlawn. Work in Akron. Think hard. Who is the largest employer in Akron?????

Oh, and Ken will be so pleased that you ordered from Griot's!

 

o no way. i go to school down by there. haha i know who you work for.

 

no, the Griots one does fine, but never let your confidence blind you.
PAY ATTENTION! is what im getting at you ocrazytaneguy!

 

not really.

 

haha. well Ken, i think i will be ordering from griots. any other coupon codes i should no about???

 

Know not really.

 

the only one that's good till March1 is the free 8oz SprayOn wax.

Type in PBA900 during check out. the stuff is amazing
too. that and SpeedShine are my favorite detailing products from them.

although Best of Show wax is real nice too. im currently testing
durability side by side with Epic on my salted ikky Legacy. will find out
in about 4 weeks when i wash it. as far as finish, definitely nice.

 

get out of here. i'm out of school for more reasons than just being sick.

 

 

thats sweet. do you get the hookup since you work there???

 

$40 for three of the Griot's bonnets... they had BETTER be good !

 

Yeah, but remember...that means I'm pretty restricted. But yeah, I get essentially one out of the four tires free. On top of any other sale prices I can find. So it's not bad in the slightest...and I DO believe in our tires. I really do.

 

thats good. alot of kids at my school have family members that work there, and they all really believe in their product. its good to see that in companies today.

 

If you want to get the benefits of a bonnet without using one, all you need is a stiff cutting pad--like a Meguiar's W7006 pad and a MF towel. A soft pad won't allow you to apply as much pressure to get the wax off. For the MF towel, you don't want a heavy plush one like a Monster Fluffy though.

It should be thinner with less "plushness".

This technique works best on flat surfaces but can be used on vertical surfaces too with care.

Lay the towel on the paint. Place the PC with the stiff pad in the center of the towel, and turn it on --speed 5---the towel will stick to the pad, and now you can buff off the dried wax.

The towel will spin like mad but that's ok. On vertical surfaces, you can grab the edge of the towel or adjust it so it won't get twisted into the PC and get jammed--you KNOW common sense?
