Having now spent just over a week reading up on various posts/opinions on the forum, and having now ordered a PC7424 with Sonus pads, along with a selection of microfibre items etc from the Autopia website, the time has come to make a descision on the ordering of the cleaning/polishing products to go with them.
With a Black 2003 BMW Mini (my No 1 priority for detailing) and a Silver 2000 VW Passat, I am 99.9% decided on the following, which I believe will give the best overall finish for both vehicles:
P21S Shampoo
Sonus Claybar
Klasse AIO
RMG
Nattys Blue
Am I making the right choice or could there be any fine tuning in my list of items?
Hopefully my PC 7424 will arrive in the UK early next week and I can get underway asap.
I cannot thank the forum members enough for the help/advice received to date, and David at Autopia has also been excellent in his prompt replies to my e-mails and rapid despatch of my order.
Long may the forum continue!

the sky is the limit, but what you have listed will do just fine. Make sure to post pictures when done.

The only thing I would suggest is maybe putting a sealant before the Nattys Blue. It depends on the durability that you`re looking for. For winter protection, more is better.
If you plan on doing and correction work/swirrel removal, you`ll surely want a stronger plish than AIO. IP would probably be a good bet before goint to AIO/RMG.

Indeed. If you have swirls to deal with, you`ll need a true polish. AIO is non-abrasive, and therefore will not remove swirls.

Like others have said you will need some polishes depending on paint correction needed before the AIO. Are you vehicles used daily/kept outside? If so I would skip the RMG for winter and follow the AIO with a good sealant for winter to before topping with the Nattys Blue.
Sounds a good selection of products to me.

Points taken.
The vehicles are both used daily and kept outside.
Revised shopping list:
P21S shampoo
Sonus claybar
Klasse AIO
Menzerna MIP or Meguiars Scratch X
Klasse SG or other?
Nattys Blue.
The only reason that I have put Scratch X as a possible alternative is that this is readily available in the UK, although if the MIP is heads and shoulders above this in quality and performance then I would import this from the USA.
Thoughts please

Are you working by hand of PC?
If by hand Meguiars Scratch X or #82 Swirl Free Polish by hand and a folded terry Towel.
Tehn use your Klasse AIO
As for sealant SG is very durable but for ease of use I prefer Autoglym Extra Gloss.

Having ordered the PC, which should be here early next week, I have the option of finishing by hand or PC.
Thanks for the reply

Worth while using something like Meguiars Speed Glaze or SSR 2 by PC before the AIO if you get a chance.

I would swap the P21S shampoo for Sonax

AIO/UPP/Natty`s Blue is a very nice looking, durable combo. The untopped AIO/UPPx3 combo that I did on a neighbors car is still beading nicely after almost 4 months. Topped, it would make it last even longer.
If corrections are needed: IP and/or PO85RD
Then
Prime/Jettx2/C-Jett Exellent on silvers!!!

I would also say pick a product that will give you some moderate corrective ability. I am also a sealant fan. But of course everyone has thier own opinion on what they like. If your car is outside 24/7 I would give a sealant another look. If your car is garaged and removed from bad weather a carnauba wll work fine. Good luck!
