I am just getting into detailing and will be getting a pc in about a week or so. I am wanting to buy some polishes to remove scratches along with heavy and light swirls. Also will be needing some wax. Currently i am looking at poorboys and einszett products. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Well...I don`t have a lot of experience with my PC seeing as how I just got my polishes/pads today, but I ordered the XMT Intermediate swirl remover kit from Pinnaclwax.com after hearing a few good things about it. It`s 69.99 and someone on here just posted a 20% off code with free shipping.



But yea, other than that I can`t really help you much, sorry.

to begin your path...i recommend the following PB polishes to start:



SSR-2.5 for most swirl removal

SSR-1 for follow-up polishing after the SSR-2.5 does its job



pads: i use LC pads...you will want at least one orange and one white. a yellow if necessary for maximum cut...and the black for wax/finish application. i use the orange and white mostly so far.



i think the PB polishes are easy to learn with (that`s how i did) because they break down quickly and will dust a bit if you go too long. dusting is normally not a "good" thing, but i think it`s a good way to learn since the dust will remind you "hey...i`m done" or "i`m using too much product!"

I just used my PC for the first time on sunday, and after many recommendations I went with the Optimum trio (OP, OC, and OHC), mainly because of their ease of use and long working time with out dust. I love the OHC so far, I`m having a hard time finding a niche for the OC?!?

If you`re interested in the 1Z goods, shoot me a PM. I have the 3 polishes and Glanz all pretty much full.
