Another day another what do I need to buy question

[lsuwhodat]

The rides:
2005 Silver Honda CRV that has gone through more drive through car washes than I can count along with about 20 door dings down both sides of my car from my wife opening doors in the AM. I will get pics tomorrow as it is comical. When I had my last Jeep with rock rails that never happened. A few rock chips that I need to fill / wet sand / polish

2016 Gray Honda Pilot Touring that has only been hand washed so far. Purchased in Oct and need to do a good initial detailing. Was the victim of parking under a pine tree a few weeks ago.

Current Arsenal:
Porter Cable DA
Chemical guys Citrus Wash
An old clay bar that's ready to be tossed probably
Sheepskin mitt
Bucket w/ grit guard
Misc almost empty bottles of stuff
Misc microfiber towels
Big ole shop vac
Compressor or Blower


So what I am trying to accomplish:
2005 CRV paint correction
2016 Detail and protect

As of right now I am looking to bulk up my arsenal of products for the above two issues. So far here is what I know I am getting and where I need help.

Iron x or equivalent - Check
Clay or clay mitt - help
Compound for CRV - Help
Sap remover for Pilot - Help
Pre cleanser - Same for both? Help
Protection - Wax, etc, help

Pads - Help
Compounding?
Cleansing?
Protection?

I have always clayed but am intrigued by the mitt.

For a sap remover I am looking at Stoner.

Where I really need the help is on the pads. I have only had compounded / waxed in the past.

What are you using for a polisher?
Stoner Tarminator is a must have! As far as pads and polishes, get yourself a bottle of Griots fast correction cream, a bottle of Griots perfecting cream, 4-6 orange LC force pads, and 4-6 LC force white pads. You should be able to tackle all of your needs with this combo. Maybe grab 2-4 LC purple wool pads just to have on hand in case you really need a bit more cut. I can't seem to find the LC Force pads on AG's site but they do exist! Lol

Nanoskin AutoScrub Fine Grade Wash Mitt
Griots Garage BOSS Fast Correcting Cream
Griots Garage BOSS Perfecting Cream

I grew up in Lafayette. I'll be a Who Dat fan through the bags over our heads to our Super Bowl win to more bags. Lol.

With a PC I would use either the LC or B&S thin pads.

I think a PC would have a bit of a hard time spinning Force Hybrid pads efficiently, they're kinda chunky (thick).
