Over the past few weeks I have been slowly but surely gathering my supplies to take me into the world of detailing. I'm just after a bit of advice about polishing choices. I think I have it down between the following combos:-
Pinnacle XMT fine and ultra fine swirl remover (XMT #2 and #1)...or
Menzerna PO85RD3.02 (or 106FF/106FA) and PO85RD.
Does anyone know what the cut is on autoglym ultra deep shine? I have some in the garage which might be of use at some point..
Any advice? Or how would going Pinnacle XMT #2 and PO85RD sound ???
Also, does anyone know any UK online suppliers of Cobra microfibre bonnets, or can recommend any others??...I can't find Cobra ones, but I know cleanyourcar.co.uk supply Sonus ones
Cheers

John at Clean and Shiny should be a good choice.

54 E87 120d Sport Sparkling Graphite
For minor (summertime) correction work I use Menz 3.02 and either Sonus/Lakecountry pads. Generally use Swissol Paint cleaner, then AG Sealant and Chemical Guys XXX Wax. Lasts quite well. This winter I have used Carlack 68 (all-in one product) and Collinite 472 and produces amazing results for little effort.

Thanks for the info,
Can I confirm that the carlack product you mention is the 'nano systematic care' cleaner/sealant...I read somewhere it was equivalent to Klasse All in One.
My attention was drawn to Carlack when I saw this (which also used Menz PO85RD3.02)
the-detailer 535d
which does look amazing

Autoglym UDS is useless in my opinion, but their SRP is good for hand polish tho...
Motorgeek sells cobra microfibre, check here:
