With the Detailed Image Promotion going on, I got the M105 cutting compound and the Menzerna SF4000 polish along with some Blackfire sealant and a new detail brush!

hey guy's sorry to thread jack..

I just ordered a buffing kit and wanted to get your opinion on it.

Porter cable 7424xp

Wash
Clay
Meg's M105-orange pad
Menzerna s4000-gray pad
Wax- by hand
Wolfgang's 3.0 Sealant- by hand

Anything I'm missing? And, is that the correct order for me to detail?

-This for a 12 year old BMW with black paint and pretty bad swirls (only noticeable in light..)

Thanks in advance!

You might have trouble creating heat with a gray pad. You can try, but a white pad would be better suited there.

You would want to do the sealant by hand, then wax. Sealant needs to bond with the paint in order to get the protection it claims

In addition to what the M0nkst3r said above......wash again after claying I believe.

Okay so sealant then wax, that makes sense as I was unclear on that order of operations before.

As for the gray pad, the only reason I chose that is because it's a Lake County pad and that was at autogeek recommends.. http://www.autogeek.net/menzerna-super-nano-polish.html

You obviously have a LOT more experience than I do, so do you think I should change my order or will the gray Lake County do it's job?

Thanks in advance!

I've heard this before, I'll probably do it anyway to wash off the residue from the clay lubricant.

IMO, if you still have time I'd go with white...especially with a PC.

A rotary I use a black pad all day...but it's because there is barely any cut to the pad. You will be able to do correction with the black if it's too late...but it'll take you some time to break the polish down.

I got a tracking # from autogeek earlier today..

So, it looks I will use the gray pads; and you mentioned that it will take some time to break the polish down. Meaning, I will have to do more passes than I would have with a white pad?

Yep...that's all. No biggie.
