Hi Detailing Gurus,
I need a little help putting together my first order on AG. I am going to buy the PC 7424 but beyond that I am clueless, except for everything I have already read here....lots of knowledge.
I will start by telling you what is currently in the garage, a pearl white Lexus, a black Explorer, a red Saturn (kids car), and my favorite, a black Harley Road Glide. The paint on the Lexus is in great condition, the Explorer, has swirls common with black paint, the Saturn has swirls and surface scrathes, the Harley has the swirls common with black paint.
I want as good a shine as I can get with minimal work. Not lazy just very busy. For pads, I am looking at the Edge starter kit unless someone has a better option. I am looking at the XMT #3 and 360 or the Menzerna SIP and 106. I know I will give up some shine for longevity but again, the time thing has me leaning toward a sealant rather than a wax. I already have Meguirs NXT paste and that seems to hold up pretty well. For the Harley I would be more willing to go with whatever will give the ultimate shine.
Along with your recommendation on what product please tell me what pad to use as well......told you I was a newbie.
Based on that, what do you guys suggest? I appreciate your help and sharing your knowledge on what has to be the most common newbie question.
Thanks,
RJ
