Greetings,
I apologize in advance as I'm sure this question is asked to no end on the forums. I've tried researching, but feel like there are endless combinations and just need to make up my mind and place the order. I recently picked up a da polisher and plan to purchase a new plate and LC flat 5.5" pads.
I would like to ask your advice on LC flat pad selection, polish, sealant, and wax to use on a black '01 Dodge Neon R/T and grey '05 Honda Accord. Both are daily drivers and will see all season conditions. The Neon is new to me and has swirl marks across the body. I'm unsure the type of care it received from previous owners. I figure additional research and a compound can be ordered later if the polish is not enough. I hand worked the Honda in the past with a several step process from a competitor's line. It's just too many steps for my interest level these days. Both cars probably have an acrylic clear coat and the Honda is a chip magnet to address in a later order.
I'm ok with spending money on quality products while keeping in mind these are daily drivers so the $100 waxes are probably out of consideration. The gaps in my shopping list include making selections on:
1) LC flat orange pads to polish out swirl paint on the Neon?
2) LC white flat pads to polish the Accord which should be in decent condition?
3) LC black or blue pads for sealant and wax on both?
2) Polish for both?
3) Sealant for both?
4) Wax for both?
5) Plan on picking up Iron X and another clay bar.
I appreciate your time and advice to finalize the order this week.
