Yup the second ones are them. You should join the detailers club. $50 per year but you'll save that on one order. They carry everything you need other than the griots and I guarantee it'll be better priced
^ yeah... what he said. I too use the Griots DA. Totally worth the money and lifetime warranty. And the Lake country pads are awesome. Simple trio and easy to remember. Cyan = Cut. Tangerine = Polish. Crimson = Finish. The v-line polishes from Chemical guys are good. I used those on my car. I warn you... you will get roped into the high end detailing product fetish so beware lol. Menzerna makes some good polishes but they have a ton of them and sometimes is hard to know which combo you need specifically. Unless you get their 4500. It's a finishing (jewelers polish) works extremely well but diminishes quickly.
Yeah only buy from autogeek when there is free shipping. Actually you can probably google the coupon code. I bet you'd have fun on that truck haha. You'd might be surprised what you can do to bring it back. Given there's still some clear left.
Haha. The chance of any clear left on that truck is probably impossible. At this point I actually wash it with a brillow pad. Most of the blue has color faded off the hood showing the white below. The blue on the roof has faded showing the primer and/bare steel.
What's this $50 club? Not seeing a link on the Autogeek site. Is it a forum affiliation/discount/etc.??

Is an electric polisher really necessary. I think in most cases just a clay and sealant and you are good. I used to use zaino with all the steps now just clay and meguiars nxt 2.0 and comes out great. That truck and really old vehicles are a different story but your cars finish looks nice

OK. So, to start.....
DA
Meguiar's M101, M105, M205
Sonax Full Effect
Lake Country Pads (Cyan, Crimson, Tangerine)
What else?
You can skip M101 unless you have some pretty terrible defects. M105 is very very stout.
You should look at the detailing procedure sticky on this forum, it has a lot of good links to some good overall products.
I use CG's Creme Glaze after polishing with V38, than I use CG's Hybrid V07 and lay CG's Caranuba Wax +X Seal.
I would look into getting a glaze.
seal before wax
I understand what you are saying but the thing with polishing is each time you do it you are stripping away the clear coat on your car so that its now a thinner layer on top of you paint and eventually its all gone. Is it really worse to just keep filling in minor swirls with sealants leaving the clear coat fully intact at its full thickness? I think modern synthetic sealants like nxt 2.0 or zaino last longer then a few washes. And its fairly easy to reapply often. Now if you get to a point where there is major defects and really bad swirls where it looks like your car has spider webs all over it in the sun thats different. But this guy was saying wow after just a claying. Also I think its funny every one always recommends all these more expensive botique brands and never the big names like meguiars, mothers, 3m etc. Many of you are perfectionists who get a bit extreme on something that doesnt have to be so complicated or expensive. Just mho.

The Hybrid V07 is a sealent
