My Arsenal

[detail_king]

Hey,

Well...I will be detailing a 2006 Honda Civic SI Coupe in Fiji Blue Metallic next Saturday, and I just wanted to make sure I had the right arsenal. Also, I want to know what order I would use the products in. Obviously, I know you wash first lol. So here it is:



Foam master Foam gun

Sheepskin Wash Mit

Ulti-Mit Wheel & Tire mit

Cobra Guzzler WW Towels

Meguiars Show Car Glaze 7

Wolfgang Clay Combo

200 Gram Elastic Poly Clay Bar

Wolfgang Clay Lube

All purpose Microfiber Towel

Stoner Invisible Glass

Cobra WW Glass Towel

2 Grit Guards

2 5 Gal buckets

Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax

6 Pack Cobra Microfiber Detailing Cloths

Black WOW

Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion

Pinnacle XMT Ultra Fine Swirl Remover #1

Pinnacle XMT Fine Swirl Remover #2

JetSeal 109 Paint Sealant

Flex XC 3401 w/ pad kit



Is there anything on this list that won't be necessary?

i would go to your local sams club and get the 25 pack of microfiber towels (around $10) as you will need them for the dirtier tasks (engine, door jams, wheels, interior, etc) and you'll go through them quickly. i wouldn't want to use the cobra microfibers for that as they are too nice. i noticed the Flex 3401 pad kit only comes with one orange pad, i would pick another one up and at least have 2-3 white and orange pads on hand. though they are more, you might want to look into the menzerna line of polishes (SIP & 106FA). instead of the ulti-mit, go to your local lowes or home depot and pick up a few grout sponges, they also work well on the paint (don't use the same one on the paint that you use on the wheels/tires LOL)...

Alright. I will do that then. But, Is my arsenal sufficient for the job on the SI

you'll need some QD, tire dressing (don't forget to do the wheel wells), interior dressing/wipedown (megs quik interior detailer is a good one)...

If I do both the Paint Sealant and Paste wax, which one do I do first?
