    New PC-XL CCS pads Polishes Wax help

    I need help finalizing my routine. 2004 Nissan Maxima Black. Roof and trunk have slight oxidation. There are only a few minor light scratches. Hood was painted last year. Bumper is about to be painted again since fiberglass and chips so flippin easily so I won't be touching that.

    This is what I have:

    Porter Cable 7424XP
    2 yellow 4" CCS
    2 orange 4" flat
    1 orange 6.5" CCS
    2 white 6.5" CCS
    1 green 6.5" CCS
    2 grey 6.5" CCS
    1 blue 6.5" CCS
    2 red 5.5" flat
    2 red 4" CCS

    4 Cobra Deluxe Terry Yellow Bonnets
    8 Cobra Indigo Microfiber Bonnets

    Neutral Ph Soap
    Well water that leaves ugly spots...

    Clay

    Poorboys:
    SSR3
    SSR2
    SSR1
    Polish w/ Sealant

    Klasse Sealant
    Pinnacle Souveran Wax
    Pinnacle Crystal Mist


    These are what I have decided on doing.

    SSR2 and orange pads on just the roof and rear bumper.
    Then everything:
    SSR1 white
    SSR1 grey (to jewel)
    Klasse grey 2 coats
    Souveran 2 coats 1st blue pad, then red pad.

    OR

    SSR2 and orange pads on just the roof and rear bumper.
    SSR1 white
    SSR1 blue
    Klasse 2x grey
    Souveran 2x red

    Afterwards I will use the Crystal Mist to maintain.
    As needed:
    PB Polish w/ sealant Green Pad
    Souveran wax Blue then Red pads.

    So which of the 2 should be my yearly routine? Or should I only use the SSRs if needed? Or am I way off? When exactly should I use the terry bonnets and MF bonnets to buff off the polishes, sealant, and wax? Does it matter jeweling with the Soft Blue pad for final polish, then seal with the grey pads since neither has any cut? Or would I benefit more from waxing with 2 different pads?

    Anyone use the CCS Gold Jeweling pad yet?

    I also have the XMT pad conditioner and cleaner. I will condition for the polishes. I have Megs QD to use with the sealant. I will use the Crystal Mist for the Souveran wax.

    Thanks for any tips.

    I don't think that there is any set routine persay even with my own car when it comes to polishing. Just use the pad/polish that is necessary for your swirls and then seal.

    Also I don't think you will need to do SSR1 on white and gray. And with Souveran, I prefer to do that one by hand.

    Maybe something like:
    Wash / Dry
    Clay
    SSR2 / Orange on problem spots
    SSR1/ White all over, will probably finish LSP ready.
    Klasse Twins by hand for me.
    Let Klasse Cure
    Top with Souveran
    Maintain with Crystal Mist
    Rewax monthly.

    I like klasse as it WILL last for 6-12 months. Gives a good foundation.
