Hello,
I'm a newb who is trying to get his learn on....I've got the PC, the Edge2k adapter, clay, detailing spray, a wax/sealant of my choice, etc. etc. but now I need polishing/compounding products for the wknd warrior I am looking to work on my car and friends.
I'm going w/ Meguiar's line of products. I want to know what are the core polishes/compounds I "need" given the existing pads and new Porter Cable 7424XP I have. The thought is I can use one polish for multiple uses with the pads I have. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I found this post listing the Meguiar's product line, listed from heavy to light cutting ability: M205 vs M09 - Car Care Forums: Meguiar's Online
And here is a post trying to line up the various manufacturer's pads cutting ability: http://www.autopia.org/forum/machine-polishing/101750-meg-s-pad-v-s-lc-pad.html
Here are the pads I have:
Edge 2000 White Foam Pad
Edge 2000 Yellow Durafoam pad
Edge 2000 Green Durafoam pad
Red Edge Wave Finishing Foam Pad
Edge Blue Duraform Pad
I hear a lot about M105/205, but is that all the "core" polishing products I need? What else?
Also, I'd like to buy in at least 32oz bottles for the economical choice. How long can these products be stored? Do they need to be "room temperature?" out of an unheated garage in the winter?
Thanks for the advice, much appreciated!
