LOL - cheers mate.
So:
1. washing - meguiars shampoo
2. claying - with meguiars quick detailer for lubrication
3. dry
4. Poorboys SSR (super swirl remover)
4. Poorboys Glaze (either black hole or whitre diamond)
6. COLLINITE 476
It sounds like I need to glaze then seal with Collinite Wax!
Wash routine:
Pressure eash down / meguiars shampoo / Meguiars Quick detailer.......i take it you used Zaino Z8? Might give that a try!
Looks like I am substituting Collinite 476 wax for the Ex-P Poorboy sealant!
Cheers fella. Will look into a rotary polisher...

Hi guys
I'm going to use this exact routine for my Seal Grey Turbo this weekend.
1. washing - meguiars shampoo
2. claying - meguiars clay with meguiars quik detailer for lubrication
3. dry
4. Poorboys SSR (super swirl remover)
4. Poorboys Glaze (either black hole or whitre diamond)
6. COLLINITE 476
I'm also going to get a DA Polisher. My question is - what pads should I use for polishing, glaxing and waxing?
Thanks

i4detailing have Sonus 4'' spot pads and 6'' pads on offer at the mo!  That's what I use with a DA no problem.

you won't really know what pads you need till you start work on the paint. Also look into getting a rotary as porsche paint is rock solid and you may not get full correction with a da. Get a spare panel on to practice or get on detailingworld for a guide on use.

Ok thanks
I thought the DA polishers were better than rotary to avoid the swirls?
Can I mix and match the pads - ie. use the same pad for polish and shine or do they need to be kept separate? Sorry if this is a stupid question!
Will practice on the wife's car!

I ordered a yellow, orange and black pad from i4detailing.

The various pads will help 'cut' to a greater or lesser extent so you wouldn't tend to use same pad for swirl removal and polish. Also you don't want swirl removing residues left in a pad you are finishing with. The Sonus yellow is a restore pad for heavy scratches and markes, Orange is for final finish, enhanced shine and lustre, Black is for finish products...............I think I have them right???? The one your missing is the white 'enhance' which is good for light swirl removal. You can mix and match in terms of manufacturer to get the finish you desire.
When I started with a DA I used the 'softest' pad and compound combination gradually going more aggressive until I was achieving the required results. Don't be tempted to go too aggressive too quick!

From a somewhat novice detailer I opted for acrylic kit by Jeffs Wekstatt. Superb.
Polished Bliss sell with free P+P too
