Hey guys, I`m new to detailing with a machine, I have always taken really good care of my cars paint but I feel I`m not getting the best possible shine out of my "hand". So this week I bought a Flex XC3401. I just need to know what products work best. Ill list the stuff Im going to buy. Feed back would be great! Thanks



Poorboys SSR 2.5

w/ Orange pad

Poorboys SSR 1

w/ White pad

Dodo Juice Lime Prime Glaze

w/ Black pad

Dodo Supernatural

w/ by hand (red foam applicator pads)

and Poorboys Spray and gloss



I`m also thinking of getting a sample pack of Dodo Juice purple haze and blue Velvet.



My cars are both Dark. 04 VW R32 in blue and a 04 Audi S4 in black

Im going to be honest I dont really know. I would love to get a swisswax but they are expensive. Dodo Jucie seems to have a nice selection of waxs for cars with different finishes.

Rubadubdub- Welcome to Autopia!



I`d be focusing on things *other than* the somewhat fancy wax...wash materials/regimen/technique, good lighting, and paint correction in general.



That Audi (and almost certainly the VW too) will require some pretty potent products like the M105/M205 or maybe the new Optimum spray compound/polish twins.
