Over Labor Day weekend I will be embarking upon detailing the exterior of my diesel. I had attempted detailing it last August with a Porter Cable 7424. My concern was was to remove the light scratches and spider web look that is common. The paint is in fairly decent condition (I know good pictures will help, I've got some night pix 
.
When I detailed it the 1st time I performed the following:
- Wash
- clay w/ Griot's clay (yellow in color)
- attempted some light cutting w/ orange pad and Griot's Fine Polish 1,2,3 w/ some results but not as good I I wanted - I realized that I didn't let the product break down completely prior toward removing. Point taken for next round
- polished w/ Klasse AIO sealant then glaze
- waxed with P21S Carnuba wax by hand
Overall I was impressed with the results. A lot of the scratches there before had dissapeared. The paint was baby soft and depth of the color was nice. The car is smoke silver, MB paint code 702.
I am requesting help choosing some new products as I will go at it again, but still have some products from before that I plan on using.
I have:
- Klasse AIO sealant and glaze
- clay bar
- Porter Cable 7424 w/ yellow, orange and white Lake Country pads
I need:
- car shampoo
- more agressive compound that will be applied with a yellow and orange Lake Country pad
- carnuba wax to finish the job
- any anything else that ya'll would recommend
My goal(s) is to remove the swirls / spider webbing, etc to give the finish a nice mirror look like many others on this forum. Looking for products that can work well with the Klasse AIO, offer good depth and shine and hopefully can be purchased from one website along with the nylon foam pad cleaning brush...
Thanks In Advance!
