ok well i am goin to start doing some detailing for some extra money
here is a list of some stuff i have put together
let me know what you think of it or if i am missing anything

milgore original wax or nattys blue and red
mequires udm or simuliar machine
ssr1
ssr2
some pads help me out i dont know what kind or how many i should get
plenty of microfiber towels
simple green or simular apc
some carpet cleaner
microfiber wash mitt
clay bar kit (something like the mequires kit)
some quick detailer
stoner glass cleaner

what do you think of that list??

 

I am really only familiar with meguiars products, but I hope you arent using them in the order you listed. From what I have heard, I believe SSR1 and 2 work great as well as nattys blue and red. What machine are you exactly talking about? I haven't heard of the UDM before. Try Megs APC+ it is safe on carpets. It looks like you have a good basic idea of what you want to do. Wait for some others to chime in.

 

Milgore? Never heard of it... Maybe I'm just living under a rock though...
Nattys-- LOVE IT! Red's costly, and until you are pretty familiar with what you are doing, it can wait. Blue is great. I'd also go pick up some NXT 2.0 for synthetic protection. Some prefer the look it gives, too. (if not NXT, #21 from Meguiars or PoorBoys EX-P both work wonders)

Pads: Lets assume Meguiars pads: Get a cutting pad, at least 2 polishing pads (pref. 3), and at least 1 finishing pad (pref 2). This means you could do the ADS 6-pack pad special.

APC: I'd go for Meguiars APC+. Its got fabric softeners in it so you can use it for spot cleaning or cleaning the whole interior, plus its freaking amazing at tires, rims, engines, etc. Have 2 bottles for the different dilutions.

MF's: The Bulk ADS MF's are great, especially for a budget and for starting off. FYI.

Wash mitt: If you can find one, get a SM Arnold Mitt. really, any lambs wool mitt seems to do better IMO... But you could also get cotton chenille or MF if you wanted-- JUST MAKE SURE YOU DO A QUALITY CHECK! WallyHell sells a MF sponge and mitt, but they both suck... so be careful what you buy.

Clay: I'd get the 200g bar in the black tub (blue bar, black tub) from ADS.

QD: Get a gallon of Last touch for claying (because its cheap) and a gallon of #34 Final Inspection for *real* QD'ing. Its more costly, but well worth it IMO.

Stoners Glass Cleaner: Great choice. That's what most of us here use.

OTHER THINGS:
-- Get a gallon and a sprayer of HyperDressing. You'll find 45928787095827430597245 uses for it... Its pretty much amazing...

--get 2 5-gallon buckets, but then also get 2 grit Guards from ADS

--You forgot the wash soap! I'd either get Gold Class (for availibility) or Super Soap (also from ADS)

--Get 2-3 Waffle Weave MF's from ADS

--you might want a few various brushes for tires, seats, etc...

--FYI: My machine is a Porter Cable 7424... Some have the G100 (same thing but rebranded). I guess if I had to get a D/A again, I'd either get the same one I have or get the G110. That said, you might look into a D/A Polisher Promotion Pack Special from Rick at ADS.

--Get some Murphy's Oil Soap. It's availible at most home improvement stores. Use it to clean your pads. Works like a champ.

--Read the sticky at the top of the page.

Good luck! Let us know if you have any more Q's.

-RR-

 

RR? Funny. I know what it means, just funny to see.....

Read the Sticky.

The RR....

 

ok thanks guys
ya i did read the sticky but it was mostly just some mequires products and stuff and i wanted to try out some other products i found on other websites and stuff

 

Removed post..

 

Yeah... I thought that right after I hit "post", but decided I'd leave it. On another forum I'm on, it works better because I could use FF (haven't yet, but might start...), so since I can't abbreviate "F-150Sport03" into 2 digits I went for my initials (this is for those who are lost)

I guess the sticky needs updating... I think I'll write a big one if the site or members will pay me... Lets see here... if everybody sent me $2-3, I could end up with something that actually paid for my time writing it... We'll see...

 

You needed to be razed today...

Ok, my post allotment is spent here.

Later

You know where to find me.

Me=RR you=rr

 

Looks like you have a good selection of products there. My suggestion is to really learn to use them well. Technique is far more important that what products are used.

 

ya i know i need some technique but i wanted to make sure i had some good products to work with first so im not using anything that lacks quality

 

Dont be a punk @$$...

Dont belittle others. Well, at that, dont be little. Shorty.

(just kidding man! )
