    Next week, the big buy.

    Here`s the setup so far. Any Recommendations or Suggestions? I want some input on the tenative shopping list.

    Polisher: PC 7336
    Pads: Edge2000 DA foam pads
    Polishes: SSR2.5, SSR1, Meguiar`s #26 Yellow Wax.

    How does that sound for a beginner? (I have a totaled `94 Camry to practice on.) Sounds like a good setup? I don`t run a business, but I do detail cars other than mine about once a week, and increasing in the summer. Let me know what you think. If you have any suggestions on what will give me the wettest, deepest, most reflective look, please recommend it.

    Side question: Will the Meg`s #26 give me a wet, deep, reflective look, or should I pop for EX or EX-P and why

    What about interior products?

    Also you might want to pick up some Pro-Polish and Trim Restorer.

    I`m talking just for the paint, in particular polishes and waxes for the PC. I have everything else taken care of.

    I`m a little uneducated with this Natty`s Blue. Does it leave a good shine?

    Natty`s is a great wax that gives off great looks. I just finished up a detail where I did 2.5 and 1 followed up by Wolfgangs Sealant with awesome results. Look for a new thread from me in The Detailing Showcase in a few minutes for pictures. FWIW I have used #26 but grab for other products; UPP, EX, EX-P, Wolfgang and Natty`s. Really you can`t go wrong with any waxes or sealants though.

    26 is not a bad product its decent durabilty ......
    natty great its not durable though...
    i would recommend IW for durabilty then shine....you can top it off if you chose too

    I really only like 2 Carnauba waxes 1 being Netty`s Blue the other is 3m Perfect-It Show Car Paste Wax. I never had an Issue with durability with either one...ever. On the average i would get 2-3months out of either choice and that was over a sealant.

    Re: Next week, the big buy.

    I was leaning towards something I could apply with the PC. The Natty`s Blue is a paste wax, I`m trying to get away from the constant little circles. That`s why the EX and EX-P appealed to me a little more. I will definitely keep the Nattie`s Blue in mind if I can`t make a decision.

    Solid Choices. You might want some SSR 1. I like to us it often following SSR 2.5 and you might also want a white pad, though you could live without it. A sealant might also be nice, you could always top it with #26. I like #26 but it isn`t the longest lasting wax out there.

    Do you recommend SSR1 or ProPolish. I can only go with one, I`m broke and trying to keep the order under $100
