Pads, wax and sealant

Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 1:31 pm

Hi All,

I purchased my ultimate detailing machine a couple of years ago from autopia.

I now need to replace a few bits and pieces and have been looking through a few sites. The problem is there are so many to choose from. Zaino, Poorboys, Sonus, Megs, Dodo Juice, to name a few.

If I describe what I am after can somone point me in the right direction from personla experience.

Firstly I need a new set of pads, the Sonus ones that came with the detailer have seen better days and the backing is coming off a couple.

I want three pads, one for swirl removal, one for cleaner wax, one for the clear coat.

I also want an extra pad for buffing, I have previously used a bonnet on the wax stage pad - but this tends to get knackered quickly, especially if the wax head gets damp, it makes the bonnet damp and then useless. Is there such a thing or do I need to buy a seperate pad and more buffing bonnets.

I need a new stage 1 swirl removal/cutting product. I previously used the sonus SFX1 that came with the kit.

I then need a stage 2 cleaner wax, again I previously have used the Klasse all in one for this stage.

I still have plenty of P21s left for the wax coat.

This leads me on to sealants - I have not used these before. Any good, any tips or good products that people have used?

Finally, I need to re-stock on some interior plastic cleaner and some wheel cleaner. I have previously used the 'muck-off' wheel cleaner and just some Megs interior stuff I had left over from when I used to sell it.

Thanks in advance.

Would echo this - very helpful, and reasonably competitive on price too.

Will tell you the right stuff to use depending on your car's colour etc...
