Newbie PC Kit Recommendations

[jburreson]

Let me begin by saying that I have read tons and tons of posts on here and just when I think that I get a kit figured out, I read something else and I decide on something else. I am at a total loss on what I need to or should get, so I welcome your expert opinions.

I want to know what would be my best choice to use on the following cars:

1. 2007 Lexus IS250, black. Only had this three months so the paint is in pretty good condition. All it has seen has been Zaino, but I haven't been overly impressed. There are some minor swirls that I want to take out and maintain as close to a perfect shine as possible.

2. 2005 Lexus ES330, black. This paint, while not bad, does have heavier swirls that I would like due to the previous owners. Too many runs through an automatic car wash. Need to make this look like new again.

3. 2001 Dodge Neon, red. This car will be my "learning" car. As you can guess, this car needs some help, but I really don't need to purchase a special product for it if I don't need to. In other words, the 2 black Lexuses are my priority.

4. 2001 Pontiac Firebird, pewter. This car belongs to my brother and needs to major attention. Again, this car will be a practice car. Anything that can be done to this car will make it look better. My brother simply does not take care of the exterior like I would.

I have no products yet. No machine, no pads, no chemicals. I need to know what I need to buy. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I would invest in the PC with the Lake Country Yellow, Orange, White and Black pads. As products go I like Mensernas IP and FPII. I would stay away form the yellow and orange pads on the two Lexus. Good idea to practice on your brothers car. HA

Look to the Poorboys kit with buffer ...everything is easy to use, looks great, and all you need to add is some car wash and your set for a year or more.
