Help with Purchasing PC Pads

[ramhunter24]

Finally, I will be making my 1st PC Purchase ( PC 7424) from CoastalTool tomorrow. I then need to order some pads, and need some recommendations on which pads to buy. I will be using the Menzeran Twins and Meguiars #82 Swirl Free Polish, to try and remove the swirls on my Black Truck.



Based on both the Menzerna Twins and Mequiars what kind of pads and how many should I purchase?



Is CMA, the best place to purchase?

Also, should I be purchasing the 6.5 pads?



Would appreciate any and all input....:xyxthumbs

Last Thursday was the first time that I used my PC and I was having the same questions. I hope that you read all the thread on how to properly use a PC. From my recent experience you definately need at least two orange, white and grey pads. The 6.5 pads should be sufficient.

There are some LC pads on sale at Detailers Paradise, http://www.detailersparadise.com/ .

I`ve found my best prices at Top of the Line. But haven`t checked Detailers Paradise, which Macgirl also recently mentioned as having excellent prices.



Haven`t used Menzerna, but I`ve mostly used my Lake Country yellow pads on a car where I`m trying to get rid of some fairly significant swirls/scratches. For starters, I`d say get at least 3 of the yellow if you`re going to do heavy-duty polishing, plus at least two of the white and black/grey.



Remember that you can`t use a pad for multiple products. So if you go with the Autopia approach -- starting out with the least-aggressive polish, then moving up if you need something more aggressive, you can easily end up with product on a lot of different pads. Have 2 or 3 of each type just saves you the time of washing them between products.

Hey



I would definately recommend Detailers Paradise. They have free shipping over $100! If you aren`t planning to spend that much, you are still getting a great deal from them.



good luck!
