0 mc2hill Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Your list looks good. I would recommend GWC over DWC, as it is safe for all finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DonJuan692006 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've never seen anything suggesting DWC is not safe for all finishes. I would add the red pad for the polisher if you're going with BW for application vice doing it by hand. Depending how bad the interior is and what was used before I would suggest adding TIC to your list. I would highly suggest claying before polishing. You'll need more than one MF for the interior and exterior. I use a Great White Towel for drying, one for removing the clay residue, one for removing polish residue, one for removing MSS residue, and one for removing the BW residue. For the interior I would also suggest adding Adam's GC and glass MF as I can guarantee its the easiest window cleaner ever made and will result in a streak and lint free finish. If you plan to seal anything besides the paint (highly suggest windows) you'll need either QS or Glass Sealant. In all honesty my biggest suggestion would be to save the heartache and grab one of the Ultimate kits. I did to get me started and the only thing I really missed out on was the metal polishes. Of course since then I've added almost another grand to my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 alenv10 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 alright thanks man. and i know about the clay, i have different clay i use now. How many grams of clay do you use per claying? i know you get 200grams in a jar, is that for 2 time use or? cuzz i like to clay quiet a bit just to keep it really smooth. will a lot of claying damage paint?

0 alenv10 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 another quick question, i know this "cant be answered" but how much correcting and finishing polish will i use up per detail? just a close guess. it shouldn't be alot especially with foam pads.. right?3-4 oz per detail?

0 DonJuan692006 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) What are you detailing? I used maybe an ounce of each when I did my Mustang. Out of the 200g bar I managed to clay four cars, but two of them had never been done and were highly contaminated. My little brother also dropped a piece so it was dumped in the trash. I break mine into thirds. Edited September 18, 2013 by DonJuan692006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DonJuan692006 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Grab the glass kit. I would also suggest grabbing some QS. personally I would skip the extra products and go with quality MF's from Adam's. I would rather not screw my paint up after polishing than to have some extra protecting on the glass and where you can't seal with MSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 alenv10 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 4 cars with 200 grams? wow nice. Adams clay comes in 2 100 gram bars right? so you break each into halves? Well im going to be detailing quiet a bit of cars. i want to say about 4 a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 For the clay - you may use both bars on a single car or they may last you for 10 cars, It depends on how bad the finish is. If you are doing this for $ factor that into the price. The polishes should last for 5-10 cars too, Again, it depends on the condition of the paint.

0 crowvet Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 You're missing the glass cleaner and glass cleaner towels...Wouldn't want to go through all that work and have dirty glass. Also quick sealant is faster for wheels. Deep wheel cleaner is for nasty wheels imo, and green for maintained wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
