Hello All. I've been a long time browser of this forum and finally decided to join because it seems like such a great community.
I own a silver 2009 Acura MDX Elite. I am looking to do a full exterior detail so I've decided to purchase all the necessary items.
The condition of the paint seems to be in-between good and very good. There are your typical swirl marks as a result of washing and never being polished out. There are no deep scratches. I do understand polishing and how it works, but being there is SO many different products, I needed to start somewhere. Please keep this in mind as I post the products that I have ordered.
1.) I decided to go with the Griots 6 DA polisher after reading many comparison posts between this and the 7424XP. This has been ordered.
2.) Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover Kit 3.0 - This was purchased as it seems to be a good all in one kit to accompany the Griots polisher. Like I said, I have typical swirl marks and no deep scratches. Also, this comes with pads. If I need any additional ones, please indicate which I should purchase and why.
*Question - The way I understand, the paint sealant is a synthetic replacement for carnauba wax? I believe this comes with everything I need?
3.) Wolfgang Uber Wheel Kit - Ordered this as it looks like a good all in one kit for wheels. Pretty basic.
4.)Cobra Microfiber Towel Combo - Needed some new microfibres dedicated just for the car again as my old ones are worn out. Seems like a good price.
5.) Diamondite Glasswork System Kit for Hand Application - Glass was replaced brand new just a week ago as a result of rock chip. If I maintain, the hand kit should be fine as oppose to the machine kit?
I added a few things like wash mitts and other items. My interior products(Pinnacle, Leatherique) are not in question as I have always been much better at detailing the interior than exterior.
Can't wait to hear Feed back please
Thanks guys!
