What accessories or pads should I get for polishing, sealing and waxing... I`ve heard something about a "hook & loop" backing? Does that come with the PC or is it optional?

Classic Motor Accessories sells a kit with like 6 pads for the PC. I purchased it and it comes with 2 white pads, a yellow pad, lambwool and others. You might want to take a look at it.

I would actually advise against the entire CMA kit. You need the velcro disk, at least 2 white polishing pads, maybe 1 yellow cutting pad and maybe a microfibre bonnet. I don`t know anyone who has found a use for the lambswool or the other pads in the CMA "kit". I would buy them separately if I was to do it again.

I suggest waxing and sealing by hand. It`s quicker and easier for most beginner detailers. I would only use a D/A polisher such as the 7336SP if you have some swirls or scratches that you need to tackle.

I would buy the kit if you`re getting the PC. The only thing you do not really use are the terry cloth bonnets b/c they are so scratchy but i have heard ppl using them on their wheels before.



You`ll need the lambswool pad for use with the MF bonnets.



If I was gonna do it again, then I would have gotten some more white and yellow pads so I wouldn`t have to place a second order like I`m gonna have to do.



Get the kit. It is worth it.
