o I just got a PC 7424XP in the mail yesterday, a whole week earlier than I thought it would be coming, so now I'd like to iron out my list of what should be purchased. I am not trying to start a small business, I just want to get the multiple cars owned by family members ( sister's '98 328iC, mom's '88 535is, dad's '11 X5d and of course my own car ) looking clean and protected.

I've been talking with another member alongside doing my own research on Autogeek and Autopia and HD Uno was something that appealed to me. I came up with a list last night and wanted some input on the products I chose.

you do not want to use 6.5 inch pads with the PC

get a 5 inch bp (if you don't already have one) and 5.5 inch flat or hydrotech pads

no idea about that HD stuff but for hard paint, you'll need M105 or Megs Ultimate compound and M205
 
i would consider maybe getting 205 and another for your finishing polish-dont limit your self to one product and i would consider getting either griots new wheel cleaner or gett opc
 
Drop the Pinnacle Finishing and get 205.
I'm sure there are better leather care system as well.

Don't get the CSS pads either, I would get the Flat pads 5.5 inch.

Get the Griots cleaner maybe? I have Brown Royal and I can make 4 gallons for roughly the same price as a liter of Griots or Sonax wheel cleaner.
 
Don't forget to pick up a bottle of Ultima Tire & Trim Guard Plus (uttg). It is the best trim dressing Autogeek (AG) carries.


Edit: You can also reduce your outlay by buying the 8oz bottles of Meguiars M105 and M205 instead of the costlier 32-ouncers. In case you don't like them, you'll reduce buyer's remorse.
 
Yea! You can get that! If your money conscience, I would suggest Hyper Dressing!

Why do you say go flat pads instead of of the CCS smart pads?
 
I have just purchased the Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant and I'm very excited to use the product. Wheel Wax works well too and gives the wheel a nice shine, but I wanted to try something different.
