I just bought my PC 7424 and now am placing an order on some Poorboy`s products. Since I am just a beginner to this, could anybody provide some tips on my procedure.
List of Products Ordered:
PB`S SSR2.5, SSR2
PB`S Professional Polish
EX-P Sealant
Natty`s Blue
LC 6.5" Pad Starter Kit X 2
5" Backing Plate
Spray & Gloss
Procedure:
Wash
Clay (I have existing claybar)
Wash/Dry
SSR2.5 with cutting pad
SSR2 with polishing pad
PB`s Pro Polish with finishing pad
Natty`s Blue with finishing pad
Spray & Gloss for after washes & quick detailing
Like I said, I`m new to this so any help is appreciated.

sounds good might consider other qd`s though. Spray and Gloss is nice but not my choice. Also I would get ssr1 and ssr2.5, 2 and 2.5 are almost the same and ssr1 will provide a better lsp surface. But it depends on the application 2.5 might give you a lsp surface with the right pad. Chris

Hi Magic... :welcome to Autopia. In regards to your question, I would get the following (my opinion of course):
1) SSR 2.5
2) SSR 1
3) EX-P or EX Blue
4) Natty`s Blue
5) Spray and Gloss QD
In regards to pads, I would get 2 polishing pads for SSR 2.5 and SSR1, 1 cutting pad for SSR 2.5 for moderate to severe marring, and 2 finishing pads for Natty`s and EX-P/EX.
Definitely start off with the SSR 2.5 + polishing pad...less aggressive first, no need to take off more clear than you really need too. I haven`t had the chance to try out S&G so I really can`t comment, but several ppl have said great things about it.
Hope this helps,
MCA

I second the suggestion for 2 pads for SSR2.5. I used a light cut pad and while it gave a very nice surface for your sealant, it was not enough to remove swirls. So now I use a medium cut pad with SSR2.5 first and then move down to the light cut pad + SSR2.5 or SSR1 depending on how much finishing I need.

Just another question, will this remove holograms from my finish? I took my car in to be power polished and long story short, the guy put rotary swirls all over my car.
If not, what products/procedure should I be using?

HI THERE!
I think that you have the right idea. Everyone has given appropriate advice.
I have one recommendation that is strictly an opinion. I would apply Natty`s Blue by hand with a MF applicator or a foam applicator.
Good Luck!! Have fun!!
