    Ok guys, so i am purchasing the PC7424. I have another thread going to see where i can get it for cheap. My question now is, What products should I buy in order to go to work. I am here in NYC and the weather should start getting better therefore I want to stack up. I own a white G35 Coupe, 2006, and have very minor swirls on it, mainly from the hand car wash places I went to during the winter, during summer I do it myself. What should I buy to take care of these problems. The swirls are very light, and I dont want to use anything abrasive that will eat into the clearcoat since the car is still brand new. Can you guys give me a list of products and mayb the pads I should be using? Thank you evry much. Yes I am a NEWB.

    Well, you certainly went with the top dog! hehe



    Problem I see is you spent $40 for a sealant that doesn`t last as long as a Duragloss 105, or Werkstatt acrylic jett, both of which are quite a bit less expensive.



    Since you claim your finish isn`t too bad, the FP2/wht pad should remove it. It you`ve never buffed before with the PC, search here or youtube for how to videos. Generally, move it 1" per second, slowly across the paint, and overlap each passs by 50% of the previous.



    If you plan on removing deeper scratches in the future, you could also pick up a 32oz bottle of Optimum Compound and polish at Danase.com, they offer a nice discount if you join danaseforums.com



    Even though you have a lighty swirled white, new model car, the OC is nice to have around for the heavier swirls your car might get. You also might grab 1-2 of the 5.25" Lake country CCS orange pads that danase sells. They`re only $7 bucks before the forum discount.

    you can also save money in the future with the meguiar`s gold class car wash soap. It`s only 9 bucks for half a GALLON at your local target.

    Or even better, Meg`s NXT Wash (a big favorite here) for 8.00 at local stores (or online and depending on where, 10% off too) for 64oz or sometimes, if you have a Meijer`s, it`s a hefty 4-4.50 on sale
