Would anyone care to advise me about the following selection of equipment?



I will be predominantly cleaning a Black 2007 Accord with paint like butter, and Willy.



I have a fair amount cleaning and polishing products already but am lacking in a range of things that will enable me to remove light scratches and swirls.



Dodo Juice - Supernatural Buffing Towel DOD159 £5.91 £5.91
Dodo Juice - Blue Velvet DJBV250 £27.66 £27.66
Sonus Glyde Detailing Clay Lubricant SON-300 £5.91 £5.91
CleanYourCar - Fine PolyClay (240g) CLEI9 £11.02 £11.02
3M 3434 Masking Tape 3M3434 £2.38 £4.77
Dodo Juice - Spin Doctor rotary DODJ17 £80.81 £80.81
Sonus SFX-2 Paint Polishing Pad SFX-2FP £7.62 £7.62
Sonus SFX-4 Final Gloss Seal and Protect Pad SON-SFX-4FP £7.62 £7.62
Sonus SFX-3 Final Finish Polishing Pad SFX-3FP £7.62 £7.62
Sonus SFX-1 - Swirl and Scrtach Remover Pad SFX-1FP £7.62 £7.62
5" Dual Action Flexi-Plate SON-DASFP-5 £11.02 £11.02
Sonus SFX-2 Enhance Polish SON-420-8 £7.62 £7.62
Sonus SFX-3 Final Finish Polish SON-430-8 £7.62 £7.62
Sonus SFX-1 Restore Polish


I've stuck to a group of products that I've read up on and believe to work well together, and thus should provide the range of finishes that I will be looking for.



Does that lot seem resonable? Does anyone prefer another product over the ones I have listed that do a similar or better job?



Thanks :)

The only things id swap there would be the sfx 1,2 & 3 compounds as i never found them to be as course as they say.

Meguiars #80 and #83 might be a better option

Also if you bought bilt hamber clay you wouldnt need a seperate claying lube as it only requires water.

Yeah, I prefer the Megs polishes to Sonus.

Get some Finish Kare FK1000P, its awesome! 8)

Whats that?

Paste wax, but you have blue velvet listed so might not be worth another wax unless fk is more of a sealant rather than a wax

I use Purple Haze on top of the Finish Kare, works a treat :)
