Correction..........

(1/2) > >>

Johnny_tro:
For starting up (newbie) there are some great packages available. Generally, what do you guys feel is a good starter set (quality/results)

1.  Auto Finesse Revitalise kit ?
2. Meguiars Hex Kit?
3. Meguiars  Microfibe kit?
4. Chemical Guys kit?
5. Sonax kit?
6. Other?

I know they all aim to offer correction but which would you say is best? from those that have use them?

I don't have the knowledge to be able to select pads/compounds so kits are ideal?

For VAG paint my preference on a DA would be the microfibre kit

second vote for the above  :happy2: :happy2:

Johnny_tro:
Thank you gents - never expected that  :smiley: but thank you

So the M/Fibre is everything I need? a correction polish and a finishing wax? would you guys add another wax to this or just stick to this simple two compounds supplied?

I was tempted with the Chem Guys.


Is there a good key/site/database to knowing what cars best suite what polishes? how do you guys know what cars have best suite what polishes? pads? and how thick/thin paint is?

How do you guys know which car(s) to use to use what paste? what pads etc.

dansmith180:
Me and Jay have each polished a large variety of cars and many of them so you get a feel for what combo works on what car, to know what works where is really a matter of experience and being able to try as many different combos as possible.

Rule of thumb is anything German will be hard paint except Porsche's which tend to be a bit softer but sometimes sticky. Although I've done a couple of new ones and they seem to be as hard as VAG cars now  :sad1:.

French and Italian are soft except Lambo's which use VAG paint.

Ford is soft

And others just fit in wherever but mostly between soft and medium.

I would put another wax over the top of the 'finishing wax compound' or I would use Megs 105 and 205 with the corresponding pads and put some wax/ sealant over the top of that.
