So I've decided to take the plunge and invest into a PC. The only thing is I don't know which kit to get from autogeek.net. I know they all have similar purposes, but I still have some questions. I basically want a kit that will come with all the pads and products I need to attack my family's cars.
The first car is a 2000 Saab 9-5 with 90k. It's black and has some pretty good amount of swirls. I am guessing I am going to need a pretty aggressive compound and polish to try to refinish it. I would love to get 100% of the swirls and marring out, but even 70% is fine.
The second car is a 2000 Nissan Maxima with 115K. It's sterling silver and is in much better condition than the Saab. It has light swirls and the paint is in good shape. It gets parked outside in Amherst, MA so it is subjected to some some pretty harsh winters and roads. There are some scratches, none too deep, and some heavy rock chips on the front bumper.
I leave for school in 9 days, so I would like to get the PC ordered hopefully by tonight and delivered with enough time to get both these cars detailed before I leave.
So it basically comes down to, what kit is best for the above two cars. I need one that come with pads (I think they all do, so that is moot) but more importantly, one that comes with the right products to treat my cars.
I appreciate any input. Thanks very much. And I apologize for this thread in advance, I know there are hundreds of PC threads, but I figure this one will help me answer my questions, not just general ones.
Thanks - Sahil
