What pads to order...

[SouthernZ71]

for a weekend warrior? I was going order a couple of white pads, yellow pads, viper MF bonnets and a pad cleaning spur.



Am I forgetting anything?



BTW are these worth getting or should I just get the regular old white/yellow pads? http://www.properautocare.com/glosresfin.html



Oh yeah, is the Autoglym glass polishing kit worth getting or should I look at something else?



thanks for the time and help

If you are going to use bonnets to buff you will need to get a wool pad also, but if you breakdown the polish properly you shouldn`t need the bonnet to buff, you will only need to do a final wipe down by hand.



This link has been posted numerous times so if you do a search for pads or something it should`ve turned up somewhere. Anyway, go to http://bimmer.roadfly.org/bmw/forums/detailing/forum.php?postid=1430487&page=1, good info. for someone just getting into PC work. Two each of yellow and white to start (probably want to start with 6" pads).



Autoglym is a great polish but the kit might be overkill. If your glass is spotted and has an icky film, you can clean it with #0000 steel wool and glass polish and still be able to accomplish the same results as the kit at a fraction of the cost.



Good luck.

i was like you and thought that the bonnets were a great idea, i acually have a bunch but i never used them. It is much easier to just take it off by hand with a M/f the having to switch to a wool pad and but a bonnet over......JMO

Macgirl: Thanks for the great link. I`ll be reading that page for a while.



Beason: I was thinking the same thing. Right now, I`ve got the MF towels and couldn`t be happier, so I`ll probably stay with them.



thanks for the help

I have 2 yellow, 2 white, 2 black. I think I might get a wool pad also.
