So I'm new to all this quality detailing stuff and need to get the gear. I have been looking and trying to figure out what to buy and the more I look the more I don't know what to get! :laughing: I know ultimately I want to ceramic coat my Mustang but I have a couple other cars that will need done but maybe sealed only. I haven't decided yet. So I have been making a list of what do get and figured I would ask you all if you thought I was making good choices. Opinions, other options, additions all welcome!
I'm gonna go with the last step first. I think I will go with the CQuarts UK 3.0. It seems like it's one of the top coats and gets pretty good reviews.
Cquartz UK Edition (https://www.autogeek.net/cquartz-uk-edition.html)
Not to forget the Eraser.
CarPro Eraser Intense Oil & Polish Cleanser, IPA, paint cleaner, polish remover, wax remover (https://www.autogeek.net/carpro-eraser-ipa.html)
I was thinking about BlackFire for the paint correction.
BLACKFIRE Total Swirl Remover Kit (https://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-total-swirl-remover-kit.html)
Sticking with the same company always seems like a good idea to me so Blackfire for the decon it is.
BLACKFIRE Paint Decon Deluxe Kit (https://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-decon-deluxe-kit.html)
Clay and lubricant
BLACKFIRE Poly Clay Bar, detailing clay, polyclay (https://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-poly-clay.html)
https://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-clay-lubricant.html
Buffer? I was thinking of one of the Griots kits.
Griot's Garage 5.5 inch FLAT Pad Complete Kit (https://www.autogeek.net/griots-garage-flat-pad-kit.html)
Or maybe this!

Now is where I get a bit lost. Which pads should I get? I know the few in the kits aren't enough. How many of what do I need? My Mustang's paint is pretty good. The car only has about 10K miles but the other cars are older about 90K miles so I know it will need more. Do I need anything else? An all in one maybe?
I appreciate any advice you have.
Thank you,
Donovan
