I'm going to detail my car today with my new PC buffer! However, I didn't have the time to order Klasse AIO and SG from autopia. So.... I know I might not be able to find products locally that are as good, but what would you recommend to replace these two?



Wash with Car Soap

Clay

3M Finesse It II

?

?

S100



Thanks
 
Specific recommendation cannot be made w/o knowing what you are trying to accomplish. Swirl removal, shine w/ some longevity, temporary shine until AIO and SG arrive?

I'm going to use the 3M Finesse It II to remove the swirls. I want products that can take place of the AIO and SG in the wash clay polish mild-polish clean seal wax process. I will eventually get AIO and SG, but I want to do a top notch job. Shine along with longevity would be nice.
 
Wash --> Clay (Mother's is fine OTC) --> 3M polish --> Megs #26 Paste Wax

The paint should be real clean after the polish. If using the 3M product, just do one pass with the orange pad and then one pass with the green pad. I can't gurantee this will work for any hazigng that may appear, but in general, this is what most of us do to rid the car of any hazzing that may appear from harsher product/ pad usage (I have no experience with 3M, so I can't make absolute suggestions).

I can't recommend a sealant b/c I don't use them OTC, but Megs #26 Yellow Paste Wax is a top notch product that will add a nice Nuba' look to your paint. There was a recent thread that addressed some of these same questions. DO a search for "OTC products" or "Best products" .... You should be able to find the thread. Good luck and Welcome to Autopia

I think I'll use the megs #26 because I've read a lot of good reviews. However, I need a more mild polish to use after the Finesse it II. What OTC polish before a sealant and then carnuba wax?
