Shoping List!

Ok! Once that we established that it is safe to wax a new car (the paint is fully cured), the second step is to decide what to apply.

As I said before, I used to have a MINI back in Mexico. The best I could get over there was Meguiar's so that is what I used. I used to clay bar it, Apply Deep Crystal polish and then apply Gold class wax. In between waxing sessions I used to apply quick detailer after every wash. I also used their rubber protectant and their leather conditioner (which I jut love). I used to have an orbital buffer which I used and made my life easier, now it is sitting in Mexico in my sister's garage . I never had a complain with my system, my MINI always had an outstanding look. (I'm attaching a pic )

Now finally after 2 and half years I ordered my new MINI! It is just about 12 weeks away!!!!!! And obviously I want to be ready. I've been reading and even when I like Meguiar’s I would like to try something new and Prima looks like the stuff I would like. So before I fulfill my order with detailers paradise (I like to buy all I can from just one source if I can) I would like to post the list here and get recommendations, am I missing something? (Besides towels and applicators lol)

This is the list:

Prima Epic
Prima Hydro
Prima Nourish
Prima Clarity
Prima Mystique Auto Wash
Prima Slick
Prima Nero
Prima Glide Clay Lubricant
A Porter Cable 7336SP
Paradise 6 1/2 Black pad
5 Inch Urethane Backing Plate

Should I add or remove anything? (haha silly me, no one is going to tell me to remove anything right? so what do I add?)

Cheers!

You need microfibers and a mitt.

Did you check the bundles at Detailer's Paradise? Might save you a little money!
