    Dammit, I got to keep track of stuff..lol. I just realized I bought a 3" rotary BP from CG and then went and ordered a 3" BP and pad kit from Obsessive Detail Friday. Then I bought a 2-7/8" BP from a board member and a bunch of 4" pads from Phil @ DD. I need help..or a spreadsheet to keep track of this stuff!

    Well, my CG order showed up a day early! I got the BP from them and put it on my old rotary that I found in my warehouse..lol. I almost forgot about this thing. It's a Chicago Electric (Harbor freight), I cleaned it up some, put the FLEX handle on it and the small BP. It can't hurt for spot polishing. I guess I'll see how the BP form Obsessive Detail is and make a decision then.

    Give me some time, man, I just started last month! lol

    I can do that now! Here are my top three:

    1) The Rag Shack Gladiator is hands down the absolute best towel I have ever used and my absolute favorite. I am ordering a dozen or so more here shortly. The towel has an excellent feel to it, very soft and thick. It is excellent for wiping off wax and buffing. It is also a large towel, 16 x 24, so it has a lot of surface area and can be folded over a few times.

    2) The Rag Shack Shag Rag. I had 2 of these and liked them so much I bought 21 more off a member here. These are a smaller towel than the Gladiator, 12 x 16, but it has many of the same qualities. This is a very easy to handle towel that is real soft and just feels good. I use these for everything from removing polish residue to QD wipe down.

    3) Detailers Domain No Name. I got 5 of these from Phil when they were on sale. After getting them, I noticed first that they were very nice, but a little stiff and there were quite a few loose green fibers on the towels. I washed them in CG MF Wash before using them (as I do all towels). Once they were washed, these towels softened up big time and are just really nice. Well constructed as well.

    An honorable mention goes to the Rubbish Boy's drying towel, it is an amazing towel. It is the thickest towel I have ever felt and it seems to be able to absorb about 20 gallons of water..lol.
