This is worth what it costs but I am going to say it any way... I have a pc and use it regularly to apply all kinds of products. But... I think that my money is better spent on buying high quality Microfiber towels and buff by hand. The reason being that the bonnets that i have clog almost immediately on a PC. I just never have had any good luck using a bonnet either applying or buffing on the car.

I have been using vendors that sponsor a site called Detail City. Have ordered products from all of them. Each provides good service and have stood behind everything that they sell.

I recently purchased a detail spray kit from Adam's Polishes. It was a kit including some high quality Microfiber towels. IMHO the towels that i recieved from Adam's Polishes are of the finest quality. I have over a hundred different types of MF towels on my shelf. 24 of them are from Adam's and the rest are gathering dust.

I have also heard good things about the MF towels that Ranney sells at Pakshak.

No matter who you purchase your MF towels from you have to remember that they are not cheap. But they will provide terrific results for any and all of your detailing needs.

As far as purchasing pads for the pc you can check out Propel pads, Edge pads, or Lake country pads. All are high quality and will do the job for you. I started with Lake Country pads. I use the 7.5 in. variable contact pads. They are high in quality, easy to use, and will produce terrific results when used with proper preparation techniques. You can go to any sponsors site on Detail City and order pads individually or get their starter pads kit.

Hope this helps! I know that you asked about bonnets.
