Well my first order is above. I have three cars that need work:
97 Subaru Wagon, red: got re-painted late last year and the guy left the sides really hazy. I haven't waxed it at all with the new paint job (mind you, it was a cheap "just fix it" job, this is a beater essentially). I figure it will benefit from XMT #1 and Glaze, topped off with a wax. If I don't wash this car hardly ever, would I be better off getting a long-lasting sealant or something to protect the paint? I don't want to have to re-wax every 2-3 months like I understand Carnauba requires.
06 Accord coupe, black: This car was a dealer leftover and the paint is in bad shape. Lots of water spots and mega-swirls. This will require a lot of work I fear, but has a brilliant black paint job with this blue metallic shine to it.
06 GTO, spice red metallic: My car, paint is actually in OK condition. Maybe fine swirls, #1 should take it out no problem followed with the glaze & Sig II.
I'm essentially building all of my detailing tools at once. I have some of the basic OTC stuff, but am ready to get rid of it and start over.
I have a wash bucket now, so this will make two so I can do the 2 bucket system.
I'm hoping the microfiber kit will give me all the towels I need, the PC kit should give me all the pads I need to repair the cars, and the SigII Combo is what I want for wax/spray polish.
ANY INPUT?
Thanks all! Feed back please:cheers:
