Awesome thanks!

What are the benefits/cons to the two different kits that you listed or does it come down to mostly personal preference?

Also is it better to wax or use a sealant?

what color is your car?

light colored cars benefit from the look of a sealant and darker color cars benefit from waxes.

as well sealants will outlast many of the waxes out there.
for the work I do I tend to use Menzerna and Sonax products.

we can build a kit towards your needs.

I really want to know which buffer and what pads, wax, etc to get

any shots of the car's imperfections, what will you be chasing?

There arent currently any imperfections that can be seen with the naked eye

Do you use a buffer to apply regular wax?

You can.

I only use the buffer to apply liquid wax, for paste wax I apply by hand. So it depends on what wax you have. I hear some people can use paster wax on a buffer.

thanks - so I will stick with my status quo on hand appyling (and hating it...)

it would depend on which wax or sealant you would decide to use.

if its a liquid we usually apply by machine. if its a paste by hand.

I have just bought a black car for the first time. I need some help on putting together a detailing kit. I want to spend $100 or less. I will never spend 12 hours detailing the car, so i need a good wash and wax/polish that will work well with a black car. Also will need some sonax for the wheels. Can you put something together for me? Feel free to pm me if need be. I am a rookie at true detailing, and this black car is really throwing me a curve. And thanks in advance!

congrats on the new car.

do you already have the basics, grit guard, bucket, wash mitt, car wash? microfiber towels?

$100 may not be enough if you don't have those items above.
