First timer for all out detailing.

I've had a PC 7336 from my woodworking days.

Here is what I have ordered.



Dual Action pad kit for PC

and Concours finishing bonnet

Megs NXT wash

Clay Magic

Megs #83 DACP

Menzerna FP

Megs NXT wax

various MF towels



Here are the two vehicles I plan on doing.



97 Explorer Limted (Mine, just purchased)- Black with my many swirl marks and fine scratches, otherwise paint is shiny and has "some" depth.



97 Ford Taurus (Wifes)- White with slightly oxidized finish. Has not been waxed in a year.





Since this is my first time, which vehicle would you do first. I have alot of experience with my PC for sanding but have not used one for polishing.

My guess is the white vehicle will be more forgiving but with a less dramatic result. The black just the opposite.



My workflow would be:



Wash

Clay

Wash

DACP

Menzerna FP

NXT wax





Would these products work good for both vehicles?97 Explorer Limted 97 Ford Taurus
 
Napalm, welcome to Autopia. I gather that you have already read through the bettercare.com section of the "Learn" button on your upper right hand corner of your screen. If you have not then I would start there.



You are right the white car would be more forgiving in your initial effort. The black SUV will take more time and effort but the results will be worthwhile.



Your regimen of prep seems fine although I would not rewash the car after claying. Start with a white pad with DACP and if you do not get the results you want move up to the yellow pad. Remember that DACP takes time to break down so work it accordingly. Use the white pad with FP to eliminate micromarring. Post pics after your details. Good luck.
