Excited to get some product and supplies today.

I've been reading The Complete Guide to A Show Car Shine by Mike Phillips from Autogeek.net

I decided to start giving a DA polisher a try so I can get some experience


I have some Collinte 845 already and plane to get some more stuff as I go.

Next I will get some Iron X, a good All In One, more DA pads, and a few other things. The total goes up in a hurry once you start adding things to your cart.

 

Kewl! Way to go.

What Backing plate, pads and polishes do you have?

 

Yep. It can add up. Don't go nuts.

 

I been having Iron X and my other polishing and waxing products for over a year now. But still haven't waxed it. :-(

I really need to get off my *** and do it. The 3 week old has kinda taken my free time here lately.

Wolfgang finishing glaze is really good stuff my tuxedo black loves it.

 

5" back plate, LC Hydro Tech 5.5" orange and red.

Since I posted this I picked up some Meg's D151 PRC, Meg's APC, Poorboy's Polish w/sealant, Poorboy's Spray & Rinse wheel cleaner, Poorboy's Natural Look Dressing, Iron X, 303, GLIDE, 6 LC CCS 5.5" yellow pads.

I already had some Meg's Ultimate Wax & Collinite 845.

 

Sounds like you are well on your way.

I really don'e see any polishing compounds?

 

Yeah, haven't picked that up yet. Thinking of getting one of; Meg's Ultimate Compound or Menzerna PG1000. I hear Menzerna is awesome stuff but I will prolly go with Meg's UC because I'm just learning, it's cheap, and it's OTC.

 

Megs Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish are good products to start with.

 

Just used the dp glass restore on my car. Worked so-so but I want to try a more aggressive pad.

I used the wg uber compound the other day as well. I really liked that over anything I've used so far. Bought it over winter from autogeek as many really seemed to like it. It's a good easy to use compound. I was very impressed with how my mustang turned out. I still need to hit it with a little heavier compound/pad as the uber compound and orange pad didn't totally remove the imperfections. I liked that it was relatively low dust and the finish it left was beautiful.
