Do is this a good order? Do you see anything else I might need to add?
 
Lucky you. Looks good to me, assuming you have the basics at home already!



I might add another polishing pad or two (if you follow the IP with FP, for example, there are your two pads).



Top of the Line has a bunch of products that I would like to try--Grape Dressing, the Hi-Temp line, and a couple of their paste waxes that Anthony Orosco uses.



Next weekend is going to be quite fun for you:bounce

Is this what you meant? I think I would get Menzerna FP.
 
^^^^ 2nd the extra polishing pad recommendation.



Wow...that's a nice list of products. Some of the products you have listed are pretty redundant (unless you are doing some type of testing). Check your Menzerna and Klasse order. Did you mean Menzerna FP and Klasse SG?



How about some clay and quick detail? I'd throw some Plexus in there too.
 
My mistake, guess I got a little carried away :o



I think I'm going to pass on the IP, FP, DACP, and SSR 2.5. Instead I'm going to pick up 3M Perfect-It Swirl Mark Remover

for Dark Paints and 3M Perfect-It Swirl Mark Remover

for Light Paints.



I think that's it for the redundant products...unless you see more. I think everything else on there should be good alone, plus i always wanted to try Klasse :xyxthumbs.



I was thinking about working it in this order:



3M Perfect-It Swirl Mark Remover

Klasse All-In-One -or- Poorboy's EX-P

Klasse Sealant Glaze -or- Poorboy's PwC



EDIT: Or should I go with a line of SSR 1, SSR 2.5, and SSR 3 instead of the 3M?
 
I think your first instinct were closer to the mark champ.



Go with DACP or SSR2.5

and the Menzerna twins



That will get you a more complete polishing coverage than the two 3M swirl removers IMO
 
Okay, so how does this sound...

Guess that's what it takes for the basics right ;)
 
I'd prolly skip the P21S kit and stop by a Harley dealer and pick up the S100 wax and polish. *I* think the rest of the kit has little value.

EDIT: I'm ordering the S100 instead, for $15 I'll give it a try.



Also, should I just skip the Klasse, and go with PwC topped with EX-P? Or should I buy both?



So for a clients' car, it would be:



Wash

Clay

Wash

IP

PwC

EX-P



That sound right?



The Klasse is for my car, a few layers og SG topped with S100 should have it looking good :cool:
 
Is this a comprehensive list for everything? Hehe, believe me, no matter how comprehensive a list you try to compile, you're going to start realizing a need for more things here and there as you detail your car. Sheepskin mitts, glass cleaner, leather/vinyl cleaner, conditioner, tire swipes, CCD, CWB, gummiphedge, compressed air cans...the list is endless. Luckily, just about all these items can be bought locally.



P21S & Souveran are my favorite toppers.
 
Crimson- OK, your list looks pretty good now. You might well find that the PB's stuff works better/faster/easier for customers's cars.



You're gonna need *some* kind of wheel cleaner, but I'd get a spray bottle and then buy the cleaner in large quantities. Those little bottles of it that come in "kits" are a joke, you need lots of that stuff. Maybe get some EFHI, it works great for wheelwells too.
