I'm not sure if im missing something. I was about to buy rupes 21 with the mezn kit thinking of using the rupes 21 with 6" and bigger pads, while the flex for 5" hybrid pads, and the rupes mini for 4" and below pads. but as a starter i might not be able to use the rupes 21 if i have the flex. heheh


well still have 14 hours before i pay the my cart hehe thanks






 
You need the LC interchangeable backing plate system to use the hybrid pads.
 
thanks they are not yet available in the store:(
 
I think your cart is great, maybe you should rethink WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer...

Think better about 3" HT pads, ask opinions regarding it's use on Rupes Mini. Based on what I've read, Rupes Mini likes Rupes pads (you have them in your cart already!).


I also think you should add a few 16x24 MF Towels, maybe the Gold Plush as well. 3 more towels in 16x24 may give you a good start (or switch 3 x 16x16 for 3 x 16x24).

+1 for the changeable backing plate system,

Try to find the Mothers wheel brushes kit, it has a Wheel Wells cleaning brush that is very much necessary.

Call Nick for a discount!, this huge order deserves it for sure.

Best Wishes, congratulations on your choices.
 
Hey tato thanks. Ok ill be adding that in my cart. For the mothers wheel brush i have that already in my house hehe...

So ditch the lc pads for mini? Hehe

speaking from experience, you can never have enough towels and MF cloths. realistically, most of your 'bread and butter' work is going to be wash and wax the outside, hoover, dust and dress the inside. if you're busy, you'll do 6-8 of those a day. 3 towels will not be anywhere near enough. i have around ten drying towels and maybe 50 MF cloths. you'll also want several buffing cloths incase you drop one. same goes for applicators, buy a dozen not a couple. you've got a crazy amount of foam pads, cut that in half; you won't need more than a handful. i'd pick two ranges that you like and buy 2 finishing pads, to light cut, two medium cut and one heavy cut from each range. you've got no wool pads or sandpaper listed. get a selection from 1000 grit up to 4000 grit and some 000 grade steel wool for cleaning exhausts. glass cleaner, id buy the Meg's detailer range. its awesome and the dilution rate is ridiculous. it works out at a fraction of the cost of most glass cleaners and it really is brilliant. are you just planning on using waterless wash? if not you'll need a decent shampoo as well. again, look for something free rinsing with a good dilution rate.
Most importantly, you should invest in a good quality paint gauge if you're planning on going anywhere near someone else's pride and joy with a machine polisher. it's really not worth taking a chance on having to pay out for a respray because you didn't realise there was hardly any clearcoat left before you started. you're gonna be asked to remove scratches, how will you know if it can be done safely without one? you won't. don't think about it, just buy one :xyxthumbs:

thanks for the reply i might be doing this just for a hobby/enthusiast. so i mgiht be doing one car for 2 days:)
reason i order lots of pads is because i don't have a bucket pad cleaner (forgot what is called) hence, thinking of having a couple for every side of the car.

well i have might be around 30 mf towels in the house (one that i've been using for years) i might just use that for all the dirty stuff. so basically, what im hoping for is that the ones in my cart now can finish one car (small or big car)

dont know when to use the sand papers hehe...

what wool pads would u recommend for the flex machine?
 
ahh, ok :xyxthumbs:
personally i use the Dodo Juice merino wool pads, but i have a festool RAP150 which is a rotary. unfortunately they're not compatible with a DA.
other things you might want to consider adding if you don't have them already are a good quality leather cleaner, a fabric and upholstery cleaner, a decent APC (again, the megs detailer range is very good, or G101 if you can get it), trim dressing, tire dressing (buy one that dries so you don't get sling), fabric guard/re-proofer, interior quick detailer, a steam cleaner, i could go on lol
