After doing a lot of reading I am going to get a GG6 and want to make sure I am getting the right pads and polish for my particular car.
I have a 2014 C300 with Palladium silver metallic paint that is in great condition. I clayed it before the winter (but not polished) and sealed it with Black Fire Crystal Sealant. Overall very minor etchings, light scratches in some areas, and no discernible swirls. It has only seen a hand wash with great products purchased from Autogeek since I took it off the lot!
That being said this is my list:
5" LC bp
3.5" LC bp
Wolfgang pad werks (cleaner, conditioner, brush)
6 Pack of 4" LC Flat Pads (2 white, 2 black, 2 red)
2 5.5" LC White Flat Pads
2 5.5" LC Black Flat Pads
1 5.5" LC Hydrotech Crimson Red Pad
Menzerna PF4000
Is my list okay? Overkill? Missing anything?
I'd be starting with Menzerna 4000 on a black pad and do a test area to see if I need to step up to a white pad. For my purposes I don't believe I would end up needing any orange/tangerine pads.
Should PF4000 be okay for my purposes? I don't think I need any more cut but others swear by using Mezerna PF2500 first on a white pad then following up with PF4000 on a black pad.
My steps are going to be as follows:
Wash, Decon (iron x), clay, PF4000 on black (or if necessary white) pad, IPA wipedown or other pre wax cleanser, sealant then wax.
Thanks in advance for any input!
This is what she looked like in the shade before the winter hit, in the sunlight it was even better:
