Need advice.
Ok, I have a 2010 Inferno Orange Metallic Camaro. I have the Griot's 6" RO and their pads and polishes, but they don't satisfy what I want. I'm making a list of stuff that I need. You might say since it is new, the clear can't be that bad, but it has been keyed 3 times, and I before I knew anything about detailing, I used the brush at a local car wash..... and the dealer swirls are ridiculous. I'm looking to make a list to remove all defects and make cleaning easier, this includes pads, polishes, brushes, waxes, wheel cleaner, the whole shabam. I have about a $300-$400 budget and I'm not getting these for just my car. I detail cars on the side. Mostly interior cleaning, claying, and waxing, so if there is a chance to buy in gallons cheaper please advise me. Thanks for your time. I really look forward to reading different opinions.

After, I ordered it. I'm a teenage kid and other kids get jealous..... and I know one of them has to be repainted, but the other ones aren't through the clear coat.

Re: Need advice.
You may want to file a vandalism report (if you already haven't) and then pay the $100 deductible or whatever your insurance rate is and have it repainted. Their is zero point in spending all this money on products to fix swirls when you can't do anything about the key scratch.
Do you have any pics?
Oh and also (I don't recommend this), but .. my 02 Camry was keyed a few years ago. I found out who did it and beat their ass.. car wasn't touched ever again.

Re: Need advice.
My deductible is $500. I might as well not even file it lol. I'm on the same insurance with my dad and sister, and my sister has had 8 wrecks in three years including the one that she totaled her 2006 cobalt in. the entire key mark didn't go through, there was just 2 little spots. I'm going to touch them up with the langka system. I have already fixed the notorious gill chips that the new Camaros are getting. P.S. The key mark is only like 2 inches long and only the 2 end points went to the primer. I'll get pics up tomorrow.

P.S I have fabric interior, not leather.

Re: Need advice.
86 views and no advice....... I already have a Griot's DA. I just need to know what to get with that. The polishes don't give me the results that I would like to achieve.

Re: Need advice.
Take a look at the Menzerna polishes. I cannot suggest anything because I have never picked up a DA. I am only playing off of peoples' reviews and high recommendations as I am still very new to detailing.
