What do you think of this?

I am trying to put something togethor here to use a detailing process. I am rather new to this this what I am thinking after reading here and a few other sites:



Wash Megs Gold Class

Clay Mothers

3M Finesse It II Machine Polish Yellow Cutting Pad

Four Star Ultimate Paint Cleaner Polishing Pad

Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection Finishing Pad

P21S Carnuba Wax Hand Applied

Megs Final Detail for a QD after each wash

RottenDog- You might need something in between the FI-II and the UPP. It's been forever since I used FI-II, but as I recall, I used something milder afterwards. I didn't really like the FI-II myself, but others do.



If you didn't already get the P21S yet, maybe consider Meg's #16. It's a *VERY* similar look, but much longer lasting, better at hiding imperfections, and a "heavier" wax that might give you a little added protection. It really is worth considering, one can will (literally) last you many years. I have them both, and really recommend the #16 more often. That is assuming you even feel the need to top the UPP at all. I don't on the S8 and I'm pretty picky about how that looks.



Oh, and *I* am in the minority, but Gold Class wash isn't slippery enough for me. I prefer Griot's Car Wash, but it costs about three times as much.

Since I'm unfamiliar with your level of experience and don't know what shape your paint is in, all I can suggest is that you are sure that you actually require the strength of a "cutting" step. If you do, then your paint must have some moderately deep swirls...
