Just Put in Order for Detailing Supplies

Bulldog · 03-23-04, 10:44

This is what I ordered from this site:

Orange Cutting Pad
White Polishing Pad
Grey Finishing Pad
Klasse AIO, 16.9 oz
P21S
Menzerna Intensive Polish
303 Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
Blue Perl Microfiber Polishing Towels (6)
Ultimate Drying Towel
Package of 100%Cotton Terry Detailing Towels

I already have a PC 7424, Meguire's 1/2/3 step system, NXT wax, and various interior and tire cleaning accessories.

I have a bunch of friends I will detail their vehicles for (practice.) How many cars do you guys estimate I can do with the AIO? Does this stuff go a long way? I'm hoping my first order will last me a little bit. Can I apply the p21s with my PC? How would I do that? Apply it to the vehicle directly and then use the PC? Did I miss any products? I bought these items after researching and decided on the ones that could do the most while limiting the total amount I had to spend. Sorry so many questions but I am SOOO excited about my first big order. There are a bunch of different items I wanted to order but was limited by funds. Again I apologise for the random babbling but would appreciate any inputs.

Nice!
P21S, nope, by hand. I suppose you could figure something out if you wanted to apply it with a PC! (any have success applying a paste wax by PC!?!?)
AIO, 16.9 oz will last you a while. Its really hard to say for sure how many cars you will be able to get out of it, a lot of us Autopians say to apply it 2x to get any spots missed on the first pass.
Did you miss any products? Looks good to me, but there is always room for more products!!! Actually, do you have anything for trim? I am a Stoners Trim Shine fan, myself.
I think I speak for everyone when I say BEFORE AND AFTER PICS PLEASE!
Good luck!

The good thing about AIO is that a little goes a long way. I agree with Dale, apply P21S by hand. Your list looks complete.

Just put the P21S on the finishing pad using a putty knife, plastic picnic knife, plastic razor blade (what I usually use), etc. Use speed 3-4.5 to apply. I apply paste waxes by PC all the time, it works fine.

Oh, and I use AIO on trim too. No staining, works great for me. I usually top it with either SG or BF.

Thank you for all the inputs. Exactly what I was looking for. Now it's just a matter of standing by my mailbox waiting!
