What did YOU just order? (Reading Comprehension Test)

[28ONE]

I'm piecing together another order since I had run out of a few things. debating on adding the Flex to the order or not. I've only done a full paint correction job once. Used my PC 7424XP on the mustang and liked the results, but there were some spots I wish came out better. I'm going to be selling it to offset some of the cost of the Flex soon, but might try it one more on my wife's '14 Lexus and the '12 fx4 I have now before moving on to the Flex. Obviously the Lexus and the truck don't need a big job on them since they're not as bad as my car was after years of not taking care of the paint like I try and do now that I learned a little more about detailing. I used meguiars products for the buff and polish, but I'm going to order menzerna now and give that a try this time.

So far my order looks like this, let me know if there's better stuff to use instead of some of this.

Chemical guys leather serum
Sonax wheel cleaner plus
Wheel wax
Sonax glass cleaner
menzerna fg400
menzerna sf4000
chemical guys blacklight (used it on the car and liked it but Willing to try something else)
Chemical guys hybrid v07 which I also currently use
light clay bar
chemical guys clay luber
lake country pads (adding a couple more of each to my collection


My wife's Lexus is starfire pearl and my fx4 is race red.

Where are you ordering from? Do you have Detailer's Club Membership from Autoality?

Couple suggestions:

Meg's D120 Glass Cleaner (Concentrate) - gallon will last forever
CarPro Hydro2 for the wheels - spray on then rinse off with high pressure
CarPro IronX - Chemical Decon for below surface contaminants
ONR for Clay lube - way cheaper
Sonax Polymer Netshield - amazing stuff and 10 times better than Blacklight
Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer

If going with the Flex 3401 - LC BP system so you can use 4-6.5" pads
LC Hybrid Pads 5"
or
LC Hydrotech Pads 5.5" with 4 3/8 BP

Yes. Autoality with membership. Had it over a year now and just renewed it a month ago. Best $25 per year I ever spent (got it on sale and renewed for same price). Time to start my order all over Now based on your recommendations haha. Im thinking of going with the polish angel stuff Darren used since my truck is also Race Red. Would it be enough to do my truck, and my wife's Lexus?

 

[28ONE]

So Autopia has 15% off sale with free shipping right now, get the glass cleaner and Megs spray bottle from them - the other stuff will be cheaper at autoality. You'll want to put at least 2 coats on - so I say 50ml is not enough for 2 cars

Edit: Free shipping over $75

Your Kona Blue is gonna really pop!

After seeing yours and Darrens pics, I was hooked.

I do have some light swirls and have the Meguires 105 and 205 compounds to remove them.

Just placed my order w/ Polish Angel.

1x CARNAUBA ARTS | RED OPAL - 200ML
1x GLASSCOAT™ | COSMIC - Single / 50ML - Single Color | Code + Color Name (see below): M7197A Dark Candy Apple Red for
1x GLASSCOAT™ | INVINCIBLE | PRIMER - 50ML

Thought I would give their color specific spray wax a try as a topper.

If the swirls are light you may be able to remove them with Primer. You wont know unless you do a test spot. As always, start with the least aggressive approach. I'm gonna put together a PA application thread here shortly. Can't wait to see your results!
