Where did you get all of your products from? I googled most of them and found nothing.

I just started detailing cars, I'm probably gonna start doing it as a side job. I'm a college student and looking for ways to make money over the summer and I want the cars I do to come out like this. So far I've only used basic products that only get out some of the swirls and marks, but no where near what you do.

Can you reccomend me some good budget products? I also still need to buy a buffer, can you reccomend a good but cheap one?

Detailedimage.com carries most of the stuff I use. Zaino is obviously bought directly from them. Prima can be found on detailersparadise.com

I would recommend using a Porter Cable 7424 when you are starting out. Eventually I would get a Makita 9227c as it allows more correcting ability and in my opinion finishes off better than a orbital buffer. But be careful and practice before using it on clients cars as it can burn the paint if not used properly. Good luck and post up some pics.

Why did you use the Prima Finisher?

Could I use the P0106FF with the Orange pad? What would I then use with the white pad as the Finisher? I would like to stick with something Menzerna.

I was then going to use a Zanio sealant and then the NXT 2.0 wax.

I'm planning to use the PC7424. Would you change any of this? I have an 03 black coupe.

It depends on your cars condition. I would start with P0106FF on a white pad to see if that remove all the defects. Infiniti paint is rather soft so it might all come out. Remember to use speed 5-6 and slow passes of 1 inch per second. If not, then go with the Orange Pad. If that doesn't work, you will need Super Intensive Polish P083 with an Orange Pad.

I don't think NXT 2.0 over zaino would improve the look or durability. I would just layer on more zaino z5 or or zaino z2 with zfx accelerator. Hope this helps. Post some pics when you're done.

Thanks for the tips. I haven't bought anything first. I'm doing a lot of research and finding out the best products + pads combos. Thanks again for the tips. I will look into Zaino.
