Hello sir,

this is first time for me doing detailing my car, but I have lots of doubts about polishes and pads, I have this following with polishes and pads, please tell me in which pad with will suite for polishes
1. Carpro fixer
2. Carpro essence
3. Megs microfiber polishing disc 5.25" and 3" pads.
4. Megs microfiber cutting disc 5.25" and 3" pads.
5. Lake Country FLAT ORNAGE 5.5" pad.
6. Lake Country FLAT WHITE 5.5" pad.
7. Carpro gloss pad 3inch pad.


plz tell me the exact matching of pads for the polishes.
 
There`s no way to recommend anything unless we know the condition of the car.

If your car is in great condition I would use none of that stuff.

Your more aggressive options are Fixer combined with the 5" micro cutting pad or orange pad. Use this if you have swirls combined with marring and RIDS. Follow up with Essense and White pad.
Your more gentle option is Essense with the white pad. Use this if you have holograms, minor swirls, and towel marks.

Personally I think the microfiber cutting pad, especially the 3", can be too aggressive for a beginner.

Regradless, wash the car (of course) and CLAY FIRST.

You`re going to do your whole car with a 3" pad? We really need more information to help. What is the issue with the car?
 
I would recommend doing a test spot first and using a swirl finder light in order to see the imperfections in you paint. Using a 3 inch pad on a whole vehicle is going to take you a long time to do.

I would try Carpro Essence first with a 5.5 inch white pad. If that removes all of the imperfections then that would be your only correcting step, then I would apply a sealant, wax, or coating afterward. If you still have imperfections in the paint, then I would use a more aggressive pad (orange 5.5 inch), and possibly with Carpro Fixer, and then follow up with Carpro Essence with the White pad, and then LSP.

Hope this helps!

No. You would do one or the other. Essence isn`t intended for 2 step polishing.
