[imported_jamesp]

whats up guys and gals! thanks for all the help in selecting my 7424. got it form Lowes and ordered the PC kit from Autopia. now its time for the polishes and waxes. 2 cars, a black '01 BMW lots of swirls, scratches and oxidation. and a desert silver '97 MB which i have had since "birth", minor scratches and moderate swirls. after reading thru posts, here is my plan of attack. let me know what you think.



dawn wash

clay *recommendations?

shampoo *recommendations?

SSR2 orange pad

SSR2 white pad if needed

SSR1 white pad

VM white pad

EX-P grey pad

topper *recommendations?

quick detailer *recommendation?



this is for the black car. i am looking for the "dipped in oil" look. is this good for the silver also? i want the metalic to "pop"

Clay - Mother's/Zaino

Wash - Meguiar's Gold Class/NXT/00

Topper - No. 26 (for a wet look)

have swirls ?? menzerna IP,FP and some wolfgang. NXT gives you an awesome look but it does not last very long

Blackfire, Four Star......

Not sure there's a need for SSR1 and VM. I would use one or the other.

I love Meg's #16, but it is kind of an odd topper. Lasts a really long time though. COuld probably go 3-4 months between waxings if you washed and qd'd every coupla days.



QD, well, as far as im concerned theyre all about the same. I use Meg's QD, but i haven't noticed any difference between it and others i have used.



I also use Quik Clay from Meg's. Nice kit, and works well. Hope this helps. Good luck
