    Need help getting PC setup.

    Alright guys and gals,
    I've got my 2002 Firehawk. Have a lot of swirls from the PO...I will post up some pictures later, but I am hoping to take care of them with a mild PC treatment.

    So here's what I am planning on purchasing:

    XMT PC 7424 Intermediate Swirl Remover Kit
    XMT Pad Care
    Pinnacle Supplies (Souveran, wash, claybar)
    Microfibers
    Autogeek bag


    What extra pads would ya'll recommend? I know the kit comes with orange, white and gray (I think)...I am planning on doing two or three cars initially with this setup. I don't plan on using anything more abrasive than the Orange pad with the Intermediate Swirl Remover (#3).

    Anything else ya'll think I might need or could benefit from??

    -Matt

    Orange and white pads are an excellent start IMO. I'd wait before ordering others.
    In the future you'll want to consider products for wheels/tires and interior cleaning/protection.

    consider the Menzerna polishes with PC ... a very healthy combo also.

    Would I need anymore polishes or anything than is in the Menzerna Maximum Shine kit?

    BTW, how do you pronounce Menzerna?

    I initially got the Menzerna Max Shine kit and its been great! (among all the other stuff the AG forum forces me to buy )

    Pronounce it? Menz, as in "Men's Room"

    oo ya and a good word of advice that i found out the hard way.only work the polish in for about 1.5-3 minutes tops.if u go longer like i did the polish could dry up create new swirls.

    Cool I'll keep a look out, it should be easy to spot. If you see a white mustang with white rims and Fl plates thats me.
