Okay autopoia has a 30 percent off 300 spent coupon, im looking to the experts here. I am looking at exterior detailing only. This kit has to include a polisher in it as well. Here is what i put together so far. Please assist me, tell me if the products i picked are any good or if autopoia carrys something better.

There are links to all the products i have picked out. I have meet my 300 so with 30% off it comes to 244 shipped. What i am looking for is input on what i choose. My main goal is to get the swirl marks out of my paint that were cause during a bad car wash. I figured the buffer combo would take care of that, looks like it comes with pads and polish. So i started getting other things, the p21s for my engine bay and the other p21 for cleaning my wheels. The complete wash kit cause it comes with the sheep skin mitt and nice waffleweive towels. What kind of wax or sealent should i use after?

All input is GREATLY GREATLY appreciated.

 

well autopia doesnt sell it but the best budget stuff out there is poorboys. Its cheap, easy to use and has great results.

 

That's a good deal, but the selection seems somewhat limited.

 

only sheepskin mitts i use are from excel detail (the heavy ones)

and the only towels i use, including waffle weave drying towels are from pakshak.

www.autogeek.net is another site that has very good deals

 

dont forget pad conditioner. you will want to keep ur pads properly lubricated to prevent too much friction, if not it will create a lot of dust and possibly add more swirls

 

i have never used anything to prime the pads and have never had a problem. thats wierd. i know some just simply use qder

 

there's a lot of variables but if im using my rotary with say meguiars m80, its a must cause of the diminishing abrasives. when using the pc i sometimes dont prime the pad or use pad lubricant at all. and yeah some people do use qder. if i use 105 or 205 i really dont need it, but because i have a bad case of ocd i do it anyways. and I always recommend it too only because it helps preserve the life of the pads.
