    Need advice, wich polish and pads on Toyota

    I am going to polish this Toyota Hiace, it got medium swirls and some scratches.
    I think I have to get new pads, backingplate and a polish. I use rotary, and already got the original backingplate (8") and 3 meguiars foam pads (cutting, polishing and finishing)

    So Optium Cumpound, Advanced Curved Edge 7.5" CCS Foam Pad Kit( Advanced Curved Edge 7.5" Foam Pad Kit ) and 6" Hook & Loop Rotary Flexible Backing Plate?


    Pic of the car



    I hope if I get the order tonight I will be able to detail the car before July 24..
    Thanks for all answers

    ya, the CCS 8.5inch orange pad and some pinnacle advanced swirl remover or xmt 3 or 2. the reason i didnt recomend menzerna IP is because for me it dries way too fast.

    I think XMT will break down way too fast with a rotary. Id go with Optimum Compound or Menzerna SIP.

    The CCS pads are great pads Tandis

    Another option is the Yellow megs pad, that is a great "all around" pad imo. Did a test on the "same" car some weeks ago (more Oxidied) with the MG83, yellow megs pad and rotary. did quite well that combo too...

    Just got a car for some interior detailing, a Toyota that too, when I think about it most of the cars I detail is Toyota:P

    Oh, btw the yellow Alpine A110 is going to get a full detail (a trade with my father, I get a new mobilephone if I polish the car.. hooray have wanted to detail it for a long time)
