I would recommend a Clarity bundle (includes the glass MF) and a bottle of Hydro. Other than that, you look good to go!

Look for his special code for the buffer deal in the vendor forum....
Also I'd add a bottle of black wow to the list

Clarity Bundle is Backordered until Apr. 4

I'll go ahead and order it still. I was debating on that.

Thanks for the advice. Probably toss in the Hydro too.

Bad venge - This is Detailer's Paradise not Warehouse I'm using the code from the NAM Calendar for D.P.

I was thinking about Black Wow too.

EDIT:

Might just change my Bundle to the Starter Bundle II and get the Clarity and Wheel Shield along with a couple more rags/etc.

You might want to check with Heather Monday...

I just placed an order very similar to you and it was recommended that
I give Heather a call first to have her help flesh out my order.

She was a ton of help, listened to my particular needs and advised me
accordingly. She mainly helped talk me out of over ordering in some areas,
and helped point out items I missed. An example is the Polishing bundle
itself. Turns out the 4 different products in that bundle were probably
more than I'd need... ended up getting the one main product (Swirl) ,
and put my savings into more pads and microfiber.

Also... you might want to pick up some clay... and maybe something
in the 303 line for your interior, depending on the type you have.

Good luck with your order. I can't remember everything I ordered , but
mainly went with the Starter Bundle II , the PC , Hydro , Swirl, Clay
and misc; additional towels and pads. I think I should be good to go,
at least until my habit get's so intense I start Jonesing for the Gallon
jugs <g>.

Thanks bud! I think I'll kinda stick with the Polishing Bundle because I find myself detailing friends and family cars. And I have friends who want some cleaning done on their cars and it hasn't been cared for in years probably and when done its been done wrong....

Makes sense sticking with the bundle...

I mainly tried to use that as an example that everyone's needs
are different (Which you already new <g>). Once I have more
experience with the PC I'll probably end up ordering the products
I've missed... but in the meantime will try to use the different
color pads to help get the job done.. primarily when using the
swirl.

The main reason I'm picking up the PC is to help bring back two
older cars I've neglected in the past. Need to get them looking
good enough to sell.

I'm starting to think a person's detailing supplies are like their
golf bag. (Some folks refuse to haul a 1 iron around... me, I
couldn't play without it <g>) (Not that I play very well regardless...)

Yea I know exactly what ya mean. It'll just make things easier in the end when I know I have the product I need and don't have to worry about putting in another order. I have a lot of detailing supplies....

I'm getting the PC to get rid of swirls and some minor scratches that I think will come up.

Thanks again. Take care!

Just to show what a PC can do, here are some pics from a few years ago of my truck that I sold.

Always a good idea to pick up a few extra monster fluffies and waffle weaves
