I'm getting ready to start my first project. I decided that I don't want to do this by hand; so I'm looking at the PC pkg deals. I think I'm down to either PC pkg with Wolfgang detailers’ choice or the Manzerna intensive shine kit. The car I will be working on is a 2003 Acura with the white diamond pearl paint. The car has had 1 detail in about 3-4 years ago, and I’m sure it was a very good one; so I thought I would do it myself.
What do you think is my best option? Have I overlooked anything? What about bug/tar removal?
Can't say anything about Megs or Menz but WG is FANTASTIC, its the only thing ever used on my 08 cool vanilla 300c and I love it. It does cost more I guess but the cheapest price is not necessarily the best value. I have the entire WG line and see no reason to switch. I know there are a million opinions out there this is just one, hope it helps.
Too many people recommend m105 right off the bat and forget M105 is a compound and not a polish.
Menzerna SIP/nano will tackle almost everything you throw at it and will not chew away and your clearcoat. It is also good to note that the Wolfgang polishes were made and developed by Menzerna themselves so they are very similar in cut and finish.
What about Meguir's? 105/205 combo works really well too!
I'm just afraid as a newbie, I would ruin my paint/clear coat with the meguir's105. Part of the issue is also what will make the white pop -- eventhough from what I've read, white will never pop as much as the darker colors.
If you are using a D.A. you will not have to worry about ruining your clear or paint with it. It's made for newbies. There are MANY, MANY, MANY and MANY people who have used m105 as their first polish.
Some have been saying that 105 is a compound and it's a bit aggressive..yes that's true, it's pretty aggressive..but only so if you use an aggressive pad!
I don't understand how any compound/polish CAN'T chew away your clear coat since it has to in order to remove the swirls/scratches...
105 and 205 is so versatile I don't understand why people wouldn't have these 2 as their main two. You get a better bang for your buck by far..and you can increase your cutting spectrum with these according to which pad you use.
205 will be the finishing polish and make your white pop.
There are a TON of people here that can attest that 205 will really give your paint some pop!
You want the best and pay less. In the world of compounds and polishes Meguiar's wins.
