Detailing Equipment

[Smokey McPot]

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 - Blue Velvet DJBV250 £27.66 £27.66
Sonus Glyde Detailing Clay Lubricant SON-300 £5.91 £5.91

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.

[Smokey McPot]

Nice one, I was thinking of 80 and 83 initially, I'll have a look at bilt hamber too

[MatrixGuy]

Yeah, I prefer the Megs polishes to Sonus.

Get some Finish Kare FK1000P, its awesome!

[Smokey McPot]

Whats that?

[katbloke]

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
