Need advice on my product line up

[Mr_Elusive]

I`m starting to gather some products to polish my black car to perfection in the spring. From what I read here I have to buy a PC with an assortment of pads, a compound/swirl remover, polish, sealant, and a wax. So from what I gathered here I decided to go with the following:



Meguiar`s DACP (with Cutting Pad)

Poorboys SSR 1 or 2.5

Autoglym SRP

Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection

Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax



Any advice on my line up? Feel free to add some technique tips, they would be greatly appreciated.

Some people say you shouldn`t use a (Meguiar`s brand) cutting pad with the PC, but plenty of people do it. Most people like DACP. Can`t comment on the SSRs as I don`t use them. The Autoglym topped with Souveran should work well.

I gave up on DACP as I could not get it to work for me whereas I had no problems with the Sonus polish. I also have a vague recollection of Mike Phillips saying a PC does not allow for DACP to break down correctly

So exactly what do you guys suggest I use with a PC to replace DACP? I need something to remove swirls and fine scratches.

I think you can replace the DACP with SSR2.5. The SSR`s work well with PC.

Then you can follow up SSR2.5 with SSR1 to remove and micro marring and be LSP ready.

Anyone actually had problems breaking down DACP with a PC?

I thought it was one of the easier polishes to use.

I just found a bottle of Autoglym Bodyshop Fine Abrasive 03B in the basement, could I use that to replace DACP?
