Critique my plan before I make a mistake

So I plan on buying some stuff soon, a Porter Cable included, but I'm unsure of what to go with. I've used Gold Class and TW PUG on my Grand Prix (liquid versions of both) and want to buy a PC. Already have a bottle of SFX-3 for polish, but I'm unsure of if I should try something else out. So I need some someone to critique my plan before I overspend:



It'll be my first time applying polish/wax by machine, I have minor scratches swirls, I was wonderin if I should try one of the PoorBoys SSR line?



-Porter Cable w/ Sonus DAS pads (kit from Autopia)

-Sonus UF claybar

-Klasse AIO

-Klasse SG (is this stuff easy to apply/remove? If so, which wax to top it off, I was thinking Liquid Souveran, or would you just recommend Liquid Souveran right over the AIO?)



So is any of this stuff a poor choice for me? I want my car to look good, and have something durable on there, and I've heard the lasse stuff is darn near indestructable as far as a durable product. But I also want something easy to use, easy on/off.
 
the ultra-fine claybar might not be aggressive enough. It is more for maintenance clayings of a well prepped surface which isn't what is present in this case.



LS over KSG is a nice combo, you'll like the looks and the durability :D
 
Well I have clayed the car already this year so the paint is pretty good right now, I clayed/polished w/ SFX 3 and then put on a coat of TW PUG. So I don't think I really need a more aggressive claybar. Paint feels smooth as glass. I had a feeling it was a good choice, I think I'm really just curious to know how easy to apply/remove the Klasse, and is AIO worth it if I already have a bottle of SFX 3?
 
Yes, use the AIO for sure, it will put a great base for your SG. The key is to wipe the residue off right away and the SG is a breeze. If you let it dry it's better to wipe it off the next day, and again it's a breeze. You run into problems when you let it dry for a short amount of time like a half hour to an hour or two, these are the streak zone for SG. No big deal, if this happens just come back the next day, or use a little water on your towel that your removing with. It's hard to beat AIO/SG durabilty, just as good as Zaino just not as yummy.
 
I find the Sonus ultra fine pretty good all round (removed some serious overspray with it the other day). The AIO is really good and I have never had any probs removing either although the SG will get tricky if you leave it too long. I also prefer the Sonus SFX pads over the DAS pads - I find them easier to manage more firm.



I wouldn't leave out the AIO and replace with SFX-3 as the AIO puts down a glaze protection while the SFX won't (pretty sure).

Click to expand...



So you suggest putting on a coat of SG... and buffing it off the next day??? How long does is typically take to put 3 coats of this stuff on (I hear multiple coats is when the product really shines)



-Also, anyone have anything to say about the Poor Boys SSR's? I'm unsure of which I should use, I have some minor scratches, typical of a 5 year old car like mine... but I'm a little nervous about using anything real abrasive... like even the SSR medium (SSR 2 I think it is) makes me a bit uneasy.
