Ordering a Flex- What else?

Looking at this Kit -
Dual Action Flex Polisher Kit, Lake Country Pads, Flex XC 3401 VRG Buffer

Now I guess I need some chemicals so I was looking at this -
Pinnacle Complete Swirl Remover Kit

or this-
The Poorboy’s Polish & Protect Kit removes moderate imperfections from your vehicle’s finish, seal it under a glossy coat of carnauba, and then

and one of those cool AG detail bags to put the stuff in in. (I know the Flex will not fit I have a tool box I can use for that )

My cars are in my sig and I want them to look good, nice and wet. Anything else I should be looking at or missing? How about

Thanks for the help!
Mike

Re: Ordering a Flex- What else?

Menzerna SIP & 106FF nano polish are the way to go.

I definitely agree with the 106FF, but if you will only be working on the cars in your sig, and they are in decent shape, you may want to hold off on the SIP (just my opinion). The 106FF with a white pad, and again with a gray pad (yes, I tried it), will leave you extremely pleased!
For the Deep Wet look, a nice carnauba wax should meet your needs. For the time being, I'm a sealant man myself, but from what I've read on the forum, you can't go wrong with the Füzion . I've also read nice things about Pinnacle Souverän™ carnauba paste wax (it's on sale, and been tempting me). I'm afraid that my condition will have to be classified in the DSM IV before my wife will let me drop any more money on supplies within the next month .

Re: Ordering a Flex- What else?

SIP and Nano are great, but if your only going to be doing your own personal cars SIP may be a little aggressive.

Re: Ordering a Flex- What else?

I am a tooal noob so I may be wrong but rom the reading I am doing it seems like the SIP is fairly aggressive. since my vettte has less than 200 miles and very little marks in the paint is that a little too much for that application?

Re: Ordering a Flex- What else?

Vettes coats are hard and need the ceramiclear polishes. SIP is basically IP. It sounds like you will do ok with 106FF (nano) initially, but you will likely want SIP soon. PowerGloss is the harsh compound.
