    Here is a supply list. what`s a good game plan ?

    I am gathering supplies for a new car first polish. It has minor swirls with 1 scratch.
    Here is the list:
    Compound. Pinnacle
    Swirl remover. P.
    Paint cleanser. PA.
    Polish. P.
    Sealant. PA.
    Wax . P.
    Liquid wax. P.
    Spray wax. PA.
    All suggestions please. And I don`t know if I should use the PA. Cleanser on top of polish ?

    Just my opinion, if it only has minor swirls, I would only polish and not compound(just compound the scratch if needed) if it`s a daily driver but then i`m more about maintaining paint thickness health over chasing every defect (been there done that and it got old). I would save the compound for the later years when/if it has acquired more serious defects.

    Typically, those Cleansers are great for those times when you`re going to skip polishing altogether. Cleanser then LSP. For a full-bore detail, maybe Clay then Cleanser then Polish. The cleansers are more about removing water spots, stains, and whatever the clay left behind.

    Speaking of.. where`s clay in your list?
