Hey guys its been a while since ive posted here, but with all the help ive gotten here, ive decided to go the Menzerna route, using a PC7336...



will wash and clay followed by:

1) FPII Final Polish II

2)FTG Final Touch Glaze

3)FMJ Full Molecular Jacket





The cars I will be detailing are in very good condition, very minimal swirling, some etching from waterspots....





Wondering what all I need as far as pads/bonnets, seems like most everyone removes products by hand, am trying to weigh advantages/disadvantages of removing with PC vs by hand...







If you guys could recommend a pad line up id appreciate it, I will also need a backing plate...

I understand Lake County and Sonus are pretty much the benchmark, just unsure what all I need, and where I might find the best deals...





Thanks guys!
 
You'll need at least 2 or three polishing/finishing pads as they load up quick and are the most used. I never try to go around the whole car with one. I would get at least 1 light Cutting Pad just in case



Some people like the speed and ease of applying removing LSP's with a PC. Others (like me) say you can apply and remove a product just as fast by hand. It depends on the LSP being used and the detailers perference.



A machine also will ensure a even application when applying the product. Remember a LSP is not used to repair any paint damage, just to protect and add gloss so there is no real advantage to using a machine other than time and your sore arms.



I use the LC VC pads myself and like them, have never tried the Sonus one's because I can use the LC pads on both my rotary and PC.
 
My two favorites are the Sonus DAS and Propel pads. You can't go wrong with either one. :xyxthumbs
