Birthday Order... Berlina Black S2000 Detailing

[fuelrush]

Hello all! First post! Some one here may know me from the s2ki.com forums. Anyway. I'm getting ready to order my stuff for my birthday (the 10th). I wish they would give me the code before hand so I can get the stuff here ON my birthday. I was just hoping you guys could give my order the once over and let me know what you think. Let me know if I'm missing anything. I'm mainly concerned for the outside of the car. I'm missing a couple things I'm sure, but what? I know I need tire shine and carpet cleaner (red carpet) not sure what brand. Also something to make the inside smell good. No fruity smells though. With whats below I'm at 420 subtotal before discounts. I could stand spend more (maybe enough for free shipping?).

Very nice order, and welcome to AG!!
On your polishes.....maybe substitute Menz Intensive for Menz Super Intensive Polish?
Forum Code for free shipping on $75 and above is..........AGO. So you don't have to try to spend $500 to get free shipping.

I'll probably save more on the birthday code than the free shipping code. If I can figure out why it doesn't discount the entire 10%-15% on the code I have now. I'll probably do the 15% off and spend 500 for free shipping. Only if I get the entire 15%.

Check if AGO will save u more than the birthday code. WHy don't you get some Souveran wax instead? :)

[fuelrush]

Sorry I'm a newbie... I know its a different type of wax. Whats good about it? I'm open to sudgestions. I want my car to shine! Trying to buy the best stuff (within reason). AGO with save me 28 dollars shipping I think. 15% birthday discount on 500 should save me quite a bit more.

[DantheMan]

The 10-15% codes usually aren't good on buffers/polishers, which would be why you aren't getting a discount on the full amount.. Nice order!

[fuelrush]

Gotcha! Thats cool. Anyone else want to elaborate on my order?

[THENIZZZEIL]

get the UDM! i have a pc..but u should try the UDM its supposedly better...get it get it get it =) hehe

while ur at it get some and souveran paste and sig sereis 2 paste

[klumzypinoy]

Souveran, as its description says, will look great on your Berlina black :). You can't go wrong with either UDM or PC, but if you want to use a 6 inch backing plate or Edge pads, go with the PC.

[fuelrush]

So which souveran would be best?

Still need the best stuff for tire shine, red carpet, and something to make the inside smell good (not fruity).

Thanks!

I have used Optimum Tire Shine just an hour ago...and I love it. I sprayed it on a Meguiar's yellow applicator pad I got from Kragen's, and applied it like that. Just applied it on all the tires with lots of coats since it's the first application, and wiped off a few minutes after. It's really easy to use, I'm not a fan of gels.

For your Berlina Black, Souveran Paste. It is expensive but many on AG say it's worth it. I have Signature Series II and it's a joy to apply. It's meant for metallic paints though. I bet Souveran paste would blow me away.

[fuelrush]

Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax it is then.

Any more opinions on tire shine and the other things I'm looking for... my birthday's in two days!

[dontsleeponit]

try the surf city garage tire shine, you can see it in my show and shine I just posted, and alot of people have been using it and like it.

I also like Mothers FX

[fuelrush]

Bump last day for help... DP Tire Gel is a possiblity... Hope I don't forget something. I can't wait to get to detailing.

[fuelrush]

I guess this is a better deal than buying the Souvern Kit and Wolfgangs Deep Gloss Paint Sealant alone correct? Or is this different sizes? Also the towels are different. For the same price it looks like I get detail spray and paintwork polish enhancer what ever that is.
Finally, a kit combining the best of both worlds--taking your vehicle to the highest achievable level of excellence- Pinnacle - Wolfgang Souveran Kit (http://www.autogeek.net/wg8001.html)

What would be the advantage of having all 3 Menzerna polishes?

Super Intensive Polish
Intensive Polish
and the nano polish?

I was told IP and nano... and also told SIP and Nano? Not sure what to do here....
