Do you think the SIP with an orange or yellow pad will do the trick? I hate to spend more money (the SIP isn't cheap), but worth it I suppose.
Chris- I'll send you a PM later. This is a great question for George from DI. You can also PM him.

Much thanks.
Thanks.

Minimum 5 things for a great washing experience: 5 gal bucket, Grit Guard, car shampoo, washing medium, and (wool mit, Lake Country Red Foam Ulti-Mit, or Uber boars hair brush) Microfiber Waffle Weave Drying Towel. Technique is also important. Never wash in circles because you could introduce more swirls into the paint. Like Tony(Toad) taught me, follow the grain. If you want to step it up like the pros - then two bucket system, foam gun, and water cleaner system. A foam gun is next on my list.

Personally for cost and effectiveness, I would try the P21S Shampoo, LC Red Mit. Don't forget the grit guard, and drying towel. There are great resources here, and make sure to support our vendors!
