Well, after a few days of reading and going crazy with all the great info on this site, this is what I had come up with for my starter kit:

1 FL-XC3401VR - Flex Polisher XC 3401 VRG
1 BONNET-KIT - Dual Action Microfiber Bonnet Kit
1 GR-11231 - Griot's Garage Speed Shine Micro Fiber Clot
1 GR-11115 - Griot's Garage Micro Fiber Polish Removal C
1 LC-65-COMBO - Lake Country 6.5 CCS Pads- 6 PACK
1 LC-78-44650DA - CCS 6.5 inch Super Soft Gold Jewelling
1 MEN-1000 - Menzerna Intro Kit
1 MEN-APO88Q - 32 oz. Menzerna Power Lock Polymer Seal
1 P-12701W - P21S 100% Carnauba Wax - BOXED
1 MF-800-6 - 6 Qty Arctic White Edgeless Microfiber Poli


What do you guys think?


I have been playing with the idea of getting a PC7424XP to use with 4" pads to use on the smaller areas like the A columns

Any other products that you would recommend to get? Tips to keep in mind with this kit? I will be just working on my Jeep (The paint is in good condition, just a few pin stripes on the clear coat from off roadding) and my wife's RAV4 Is the P21S a good choice of wax for the color of my Jeep?

Thank you for all the help I had gotten for all the info on here so far!!!

Looks like a great starter kit...

I haven't used the Flex 3401 to remove dried wax, is that what you're ordering the Bonnet Kit (http://www.autogeek.net/pc7424-bonnet.html) for?


The Menzerna Powerlock goes on easy and wipe off easy and will wipe off easy by hand or machine...

The P21S also comes off easy as long as you apply a thin coating...

Should be a good combo, P21S over the Power Lock...

THat is the plan, I'm still thinking about the PCXP and trying to put a second kit together to complement what I already ordered, hoping to make things easier and maybe even a better result.
