I am novice (beginner) detailer looking to work on my vehicles only. After a bunch of internet research I decided to place my order from autogeek.com.

The list of stuff I purchased is as follows:
1. PC-PFPK-150 = Porter Cable 7424XP CCS Foam Pad Kit - $249.99
2. PIN 550-K = Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay Plus Special - $39.99
3. WG-5601 = Wolfgang Uber Compound 3.0 16oz - $49.99
4. WG-8400 = Wolfgang Uber Finishing Glaze 16 oz - $39.99
5. WG-9400 = Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating Complete kit - $149.99

Less a 20% discount = $423.96

I want to know if I went overboard with everything or did I piece together a good beginner's kit. I'm not sure!

Thanx

 

Thread moved from Car Talk to the Wash & Wax Forum.

 

Looks like a great setup!

I went a little bit cheaper and went with:

Harbor Freight polisher - $70 and then got CCS pads from amazon.

wolfgang duo bundle (finishing glaze and compound) for $40

As for claybars I usually just use a mothers clay bar kit from walmart and it works very well ($18-$20)

Finally I topped everything off with meguairs liquid wax.

It usually takes a full day for a complete wash,claybar,polish,finishing glaze, wax but the results are great. Youre going to really like the wolfgang products!

 

Don't forget the ironx, a must before any correction. Watch a YouTube video if your not sure
