I would really like to take the next step in keeping my vehicles clean. I wash the cars about once a month and hand wax 1 to 2 times a year and do claying before wax.
Cars
-'01 Ford Excursion - white - had it since 2010, paint is in good condition but it definitely could use some work to get out the swirls and improve it.
-'98 Isuzu Hombre - white - had it since 1998. Been a daily driver and weekend do-it-yourself truck. I am getting ready to sell it. It has alot of scratches due to the use but it still looks good from a distance. I have never had it professionally buffed/waxed. A good buffing/polish/wax will help it sell.
-'05 Ford F150 - white - will be getting this soon. Truck is in perfect condition. Has seen rain twice, garage kept, had multi-gallon container of Adams detail spray in garage. To say this truck is immaculate would be a understatement. I would like to keep it this way as much as possible but it will be harder due to it being my daily driver 20 miles one-way. He only put 45k on it in 9 years.
I would like to start employing a waterless wash for regular up keep. I have very hard water so waterless will help with that.
-On Hand
--Meguiar's Ultimate Compound
--Meguiar's Ultimate Polish - 16 oz.
--Chemical Guys Professional Auto Drying Water Blade
--Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax - 16 oz.
--Chemical Guys Synthetic Super Lube Clay/Clay Block
--Clay bars
--Grit Guard
--Meguiar's Microfiber Wash Mitt
--A dozen or so Microfiber Cloths of various types
--Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner
Planning to purchase:
-IronX
-Porter-cable 7424 XP
So the question is: As far as pads go, what should I go with and can I use the Meguiars compound that I have for swirl remover or do I need something else.
Anything else that I am missing? I probably need to keep my total next step purchase to 250 or less.
Thanks, learning alot already.
