I have two buckets already, as well as car wash soap, trim dressing, tire dressing, and wheel cleaner. I am going to do some swirl removal on my car, heres my list of products I am buying to tackle it:

Big Blue drying towel

FI II machine polish

3M SMR

GEPC

S100

2 Yellow pads

2 White pads

6" backing plate

2 chenelle wash mitts

2 water bottles, for residue removal

12? MF towels, I dont know which ones to get or from where, need help here!

What else should I look to get? I dont need to order interior products. Later down the road I will order some of that stuff. Just trying to get rid of the damn swirls.

I would definitely recommned DACP over 3M SMR. It`s a little more "aggressive" but it works in easily and produces excellent results.



For MF towels, I recommend Pakshak, from Ranney Pak.



What about a QD? My preference there is Pinnacle Crystal Mist.



Good luck!

Clay and lube. A car shampoo/distilled water solution is much better than a dedicated clay lubricant or QD spray, and less expensive besides.

IMO 3M SMR is a better balance in aggressiveness between FI II and GEPC.

Clay and whatever lube ya want - i use the Clay Magic lube cos I got it with the kit. ($10 :P)



Ill prolly stick to soapy water when its run out, or QD.



Im biased towards DACP too ... i LOVE the stuff :)



As for MFs, prolly buy a package deal from Pakshak, everyone says his stuff is great and customer service is excellent.



You dont say what machine youll be using tho ... so cant help with the pads.

Sorry, got the clay, got the lube, already clayed the car. Pakshak, uh, is the site for them the same as the name? What else may I need.

I`m not sure if DACP would be needed, since I believe NYD has already had a go at the car? :confused:
