Need help getting PC setup.

[1LE HAWK]

Alright guys and gals,
I've got my 2002 Firehawk. Have a lot of swirls from the PO...I will post up some pictures later, but I am hoping to take care of them with a mild PC treatment.

So here's what I am planning on purchasing:

XMT PC 7424 Intermediate Swirl Remover Kit
XMT Pad Care
Pinnacle Supplies (Souveran, wash, claybar)
Microfibers
Autogeek bag


What extra pads would ya'll recommend? I know the kit comes with orange, white and gray (I think)...I am planning on doing two or three cars initially with this setup. I don't plan on using anything more abrasive than the Orange pad with the Intermediate Swirl Remover (#3).

Anything else ya'll think I might need or could benefit from??

Orange and white pads are an excellent start IMO. I'd wait before ordering others.
In the future you'll want to consider products for wheels/tires and interior cleaning/protection.

I've got a lot of Pinnacle packages for interior and wheels/tires.

Thanks for the advice...

consider the Menzerna polishes with PC ... a very healthy combo also.

Would I need anymore polishes or anything than is in the Menzerna Maximum Shine kit?

BTW, how do you pronounce Menzerna?

I initially got the Menzerna Max Shine kit and its been great! (among all the other stuff the AG forum forces me to buy )

Pronounce it? Menz, as in "Men's Room" :joking:

oo ya and a good word of advice that i found out the hard way.only work the polish in for about 1.5-3 minutes tops.if u go longer like i did the polish could dry up create new swirls.

Cool I'll keep a look out, it should be easy to spot. If you see a white mustang with white rims and Fl plates thats me.
