I'm about to order a package to dive into detailing my own vehicles and would like to get opinions from the members here. Is this a good package to start with and am I missing anything? I'm leaning towards collinite over the Klasse AIO which I'll get locally.

My vehicles range from an 03 GMC thats in real good shape on down to a 92 325I thats beat up pretty good with a lot of scratches.



Here's what I'm ordering:



UDM



Edge 2000 DA Starter Package

With The Edge 2000 DA Starter Package you will get one each of the Yellow, Green, Blue, and White 6" DA Pads and a DA Pad Adapter. That is everything you will need to get started using The Edge 2000 6" DA Pad System and all of that with a savings of $10 over buying each peice individually!!!



Klasse AIO
 
I always recommend 1Z brand polishes for people who are just starting out with this stuff (and plenty of experets like 'em too). Much as I like KAIO, I'd probably use 1Z's Metallic Polish or even their stronger (but still pretty mild) Paint Polish and then the Collinite. It's a tried-and-true combo.



I understand about the local sourcing, but I'd still give it some consideration.

I believe that DavidB and others have had problems with the Edge pad system on the UDM. It has more power then the PC so I think they wear out quicker. You may want to reconsider your pad choice. I would definitely get the UDM though, love mine! Use it with smaller diameter pads (4-5in.) and it runs smoother because it is balanced better then with larger pads.

Thanks for your opinions on these items. Looks like I may not be getting collinite anyways its nowhere to be found in Jawga. :( I've seen there marine line at the Boats US but so far nothing automotive. I've been wanting to try Zaino for years but never could spend that kind of money on a car wax.



What brand of pads would you recommend for a noob like myself?
 
Looked at some LC CSS 5" 6 pack from Danase. They fall more into my price range $40 for the bunch. :)



What would you guys recommend over either the Klasse AIO or the Zaino AIO?
