Default Advice on PC

Okay, went to the Autogeek site and ready to order a pc kit and whooa!! I see different kind of packages! I know this should be in the car cleaning section, but I get faster response here. So, which one of the kit should I order?
Thanks in advance!

I went throught the same thing when i got ready to order my kit.
Way to many options.
I decided to give them a call. I explained that i had a 02 black vette with minor swirls, etc. They told me exactly what i needed. Very helpful people. You might want to give them a call.

I use the orange pads the most. Next would be the white ones. That's really all you need as far as pads go. Some people like the smaller ones.
I'd get at least four orange, and two white.
Then it depends on what you want for polish and what you are trying to accomplish.
Menzerna IP is a good polish, especially if you follow up with ZPC and then Z sealants.

No broblem Ed ...ask for eric he will steer you in the right direction!
I am testing a few of his pads for work ...if they are good enough for a 4.7 million dollar yacht they are good enough for my car

I personally like Pinnacle Souveran, and I believe they have the sizzling shine kit on sale. Good stuff, and a good value if on sale.
