| Long time lurker, first time poster...
Hello, all... been peaking around here a while and finally decided to join the ranks. Been detailing my family cars for some time now with OTC stuff and a couple boutique items, but now it's time to crank it up a notch by rounding out my arsenal with professional products and tips from you pros.
First off, I'd like to find the $'s to make it to the upcoming detail fest. Certainly sounds like a good time to learn and meet some infamous people (Max, Meghan, Justin, Killr), learn some techniques and pick up some good products!
Secondly, here are some thoughts I have about a line up of products. If you hafe some thoughts about these or alternatives let me know. I know lots of people end up getting lots of differents sealants, waxes, polishes, washes, etc, to use based on the color of car, magnatude of corrections needed, etc, but I just want a good, solid product set that will do me really well instead of breaking the bank and getting 1 of everything. I have black, red and yellow cars with some swirling, and what I want is kick butt shine and decent durabilty. I hope to be rewaxing every few weeks and QD'ing weekly inbetween.
What I am thinking about is this
PC w/set of LC or Edge Pads
Wash: PB SSW
Swirl Removers/Polish: XMT #1, #2, #3
Glaze: WG Finishing Glaze
Sealant: WG DG Sealant
Wax: Max Wax (may do Souveran if I can swing the extra bux)
QD: Crystal Mist
Other: DP 4-1, bucket guard, some applicators,...
Be good, be kind and be faithful...
Oh

Welcome. You've got a nice set of products there. Many can vouch for all of them, while I can only say that XMT and the LC pads are very good choices, especially for their price ranges.
Good luck, you'll love it here.

Sounds like a good line up, i would go for the EDGE pads, they are great. Also been impressed with the DuraGloss products too. the DG 101 is WET.
ShMitt W/Y and black, Guzzler and cobra MFs is also "must have"
And welcome to the addiction of detailing, and to AG

| Welcome to the forums. I'm glad you decided to join the family.  You have a really good list there. The only thing I would say is that XMT 1 and WG finishing glaze are both finishing polishes. You could really go with one or the other and save the cash to put towards a jar of Souveran paste. It's really worth it on a black and red car. | |
