Hi everyone, im pretty new to the site. And it seems like everyone knows what there talking about. So i was wondering what you thought of this kit from ADS. Ive been thinking about getting it for a while now. I have a white f-150, the paints not horrible, its the hood. It has alot of swirls and was wondering if this kit would do the job. I have never used a DA before so any advice would be great also.

Package #3 DA Polisher Professional Swirl Removal Kit
1 Meguiar's G100 Polisher (Lifetime Warranty)
1 Backing Plate.
3 W8006 Foam Polishing Pad
1 W9006 Foam Finishing Pad
2 Ultimate DA Microfiber Bonnets

1 M0216 Fine Cut Cleaner 16 oz.
1 M0916 Swirl Remover 16 oz.
1 G12718 NXT Tech Wax 18 oz. (Comes with 1 Applicator Pad)
1 M3416 Final Inspection 16 oz.

Thanks in advance
Ryan,

 

I started with basically the same kit, I just had them get me #80 along with the #9. I'd pick up another finishing pad though, at the very least.

PS: Don't forget microfibers !!

 

Sweet...ive been itching to buy this for a while now. Once i get the swirls out and do a full detail. wash, clay, cleaner, polish, wax. Will i ever have to clay, polish or use cleaner wax on it again or just keep up on the wax job.

 

That's a hard question to answer, since none of us know how you wash or dry. Washing and drying is for the most part the cause of the swirls and without correcting your procedure for washing, it's just a matter of time before you get those swirls again. With that said, if you're following all the proper procedures and you don't live in the Arctic Circle, I'd say every 3-4 months you'd need to do a full detail again.

 

Thanks

 

Ryanmc86 - I also have a white truck and have found the follow products work great!

Megs #80 (cleaner)
ClearKote Vanilla Moose (polish)
Poorboy EX-P (sealant)
Collinite 845 (LSP carnuba)

Of course the condition of your truck's paint could alter some of the above. I used the G100 with different pad for all coats and put them on very thin.

You can search on this forum for 'Oxford White' and find quite a few threads on different products. Have fun!

 

thank you powercat. i did see that post and your truck is the one that made me want to get a buffer. i will try those products when i get good at buffing and have a little more money. Thanks again
