Just bought a White 1994 Integra GSR. The car is in really good shape for the age (15yrs old). I have been using ALL Meguiars products & am not satisfied w/ the outcome. I will include some pics. Here is what I have done so far:

1. Clay kit
2. Gold Class wash
3. Cleaner Wax (by hand)
4. Gold Class liquid (by hand X2)

There is no depth in the paint. It shines...that's it. Need more depth. The rear bumper has some bad oxidation (see pic) that I cannot seems to remove. The weather stripping around the windows has allot of hard water spots that I cannot get out either (see pic). The wheels have, what appears to be, hard water stains as well (see pic). LF wheel has a stubborn stain that I have dissolved but cannot remove (see pic). I have a PC 7424XP on the way (hopefully here on Tuesday!) & have been reading allot of info here on how to use it, etc. I need some advice on products. The ones sold here all look good but, what do I need for this specific situation? I am not really looking for "brand", just a quality product. I am looking at buying a "kit" but which one? What pads do I need? How many? I dont need the towels etc..got tons of that stuff...need product not propaganda. Too many choices, too many products...can someone give me some direction? Here are a few pics & THANKS!
 
You really need to take the pics outside in full sun. the lighting is very bad anyway . You are using meg consumer line . Megs polisher are top notch when used correctly the 105/205 combo (the twins) are among the best I have used. That being said everything here's is top notch from Mezerma,Poorboys,Wolfgang,XMT,Duragloss. It's more personal preference and price. I'll tell that white is hard color to get depth in ,that usally come in darker colors. I have a big customer right now white white trucks personally pretty sick off the white but I love the money . I use 105/wool or orange then 205white rewash or ip wipe depending on access to water.dry,Top with Collinite 846or915 on buffer pad blue apply to the pad with plastic putty knife one panel buff on wipe off if dries its a bear toget off .The secert is your prep work. clay then look for spots off tar on sides use either Prepsol,Stoners tarminatoror mineral spirts then a little glass cleaner to remove the residue.lol
 
Meguiars products are the way to go. 105/205. I use 6.5" pads for the most part with all of my polishers, but most people here will recommend you get 5.5" pads. Generally you will not need more than 2-3 of each color pad. The most common pads used are the orange and white Lake Country pads. I would get 2 orange, 2 white, and 2 grey to start out with. You can skip the grey if you wanna save some dough as you probably will not see a big difference between the white and the grey on white. Hope this helps. Good luck!
 
Will try to get some more pics from out in the sun later today. I'd like to get some products ordered today & get the Holiday 15% discount. Thanks.
