Done a lot of reading (and spent a lot of money) over the past week or so but I'm still stuck on something. What should I use on the plastic chrome grill on the edge? That thing is a bug magnet and I want to protect it with something that will make it easier to clean. On a similar note, what products work best on the chrome clad wheels? FYI, here's what I have for the paint...I bought a Griot's Garage 6 in DA polisher, 5 in Lake Country backing plate, 6 pk of 5.5 in Lake Country flat pads, Meguair's clay, GG's Speed Shine Detailer, Pinnacle Paintwork cleansing lotion, Collinite 845, and Poorboys Natty's Red paste wax. I appreciate any feedback on this plan.

Nifty Catch Its are a nice carpeted mat. I bought the ones listed for an '11 for my '12 and they fit fine.

Thanks...that led me to this chart that helps alot ... http://www.auto-geek.net/charts/buffing-pad-chart-lc.htm I'll probably get a combination of orange, green, black and blue.

Thanks for the help but I'm still slightly confused on the pads...From what I've read here, I plan to use a polish, sealant and wax. I assume those equate to "cutting, mid polish and jeweling"? Which pad(s) do I use for polish, sealant and wax? Thanks again.

Just read all 17 pages of this thread...what a lot of great information! I copied and pasted a word doc of things I want to keep for quick reference (about 4 pages worth). I still have a couple questions... 1) What's your take on the Meguiars G110v2 DA polisher? http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-dual-action-polisher-g110.html 2) I get really confused looking at all the pads available for the DA polishers, can you recommend some basics for the casual home detailer? Which pads should I get and what products go on those pads? 3) Last, I found plenty of product suggestions for my White Edge but I also have a 2007 Honda Ridgeline in Aberdeen Green, what wax works best for that color? Thanks again for all the great info!

I had the nifty carpeted mats in my F-150 a few years ago and loved them. I want them for my 2012 Edge but so far I've only seen part numbers for the rear seat floor. Not sure if there's any difference from 2011 to 2012 but I put in an email on their website asking for clarification.

Very nice!

Finally picked up our new Edge last night. What a nice vehicle! I test drove a Cadillac SRX a few weeks ago and the Edge is much smoother and quieter IMO.

We test drove an SRX before deciding on the Edge. I was very disappointed in the road noise and ride quality on the SRX, for $40K+ I expected better. The Edge was MUCH quieter and smoother; we drove an Ecoboost limited with 18 inch rims (bought the same set up, different color).

Happy to be joining the forum. We just made a deal tonight on a new Edge for my wife. It's a 2012 Edge Limited in White Platinum with black leather, 301 package and Ecoboost. It's a couple hundred miles away so we'll probably be picking it up Monday. They had an identical 2013 on the lot but there just weren't enough incentives to make a deal. We were supposed to be seeing a Toyota Venza tonight as well but the Edge was our first choice, and as I expected, they didn't want us to leave the lot without making a deal. Our only hesitation was some of the bad reviews on the MyFord touch system but hopefully the new update is all they say. Funny enough, the system locked up on us about halfway through our test drive. They say most dealers have recieved all thier upgrade kits so I'm hoping ours is already done or at least comes with the kit. Can't wait to pick it up!
