What polish and pad (mach) and other detailing q's

[James B]

After giving the beast a quick detail at the weekend my desire to get a machine polisher has ownly grown. I want to fo it right though so was wondering, assuming I get the Meg's G220 polisher, what pads and polishing compound would you all recommend?

 

If read the links to the awesome detailing guide, just want products re-confirmed to me as I'm terrified I'll have misread, misunderstood and end up tearing through my paintwork.

 

So to state the questions in full.........

 

Assuming I buy the Meg's polisher, what polisher pad and compound should I use?

 

Should I use Lime Prime or Lime Prime Lite for an early Azure Zed?

 

Another (probably thick question). Have I got the order of use for these products right?

 

Snowfoam

Wash (dodo mild)

Limeprime

Megs machine polish

Dodo Blue Wax

Megs machine buff

Dodo Red Mist

 

That right and did I miss anything out?

Ooops - this was meant to be in the detailing section for 350Z.

 

Can someone move it?

Moved.

 

Order is correct, but I'd leave 24hours between putting the wax on and then putting the Red Mist on. Lime Prime is fine for the Zed, and I use the yellow polishing pads from Megs. Tbh I'd skip the LP and use Ultimate Compound instead, but I would clay the car before doing that.

Your order is a tad wrong.

 

Order should be:

 

Rinse

Snowfoam

Rinse

Wash (2BM)

Clay

Tape up and Machine

Rinse & Dry (removes excess left on car)

Lime Prime (Or any other pre wax cleanser)

Wax

 

I have given a bit of advise already about pads and polishes, specifically for newbies to the machining world.

 

Have a gander
