I will be customizing my list to suit the machine applications, just waiting on the machine... Any advice on what to get anyone out here? I need something to cut, polish and then seal, all the other stuff like pre-wax, wash, clay etc... I will get by myself.

Regards,

I'd recommend the Menzerna polish range. Having used them extensively I can say that aside from a few odd occasions, they have never let me down

I have kits with all 3 polishes (compounding, polishing and finishing) for R375 (3 x 250ml).

Aside from the polish you will need some pads. To start out with I'd suggest something with a medium cut and something with a finer cut. The 3M pads are my goto on the rotary, but most guys prefer either the Hex Logic or LC pads on the DA machines. The Meguiars pads are also nice, but stupidly expensive locally


In terms of sealing (LSP) you have 2 choices. Either go for a wax or a synthetic sealant. On the wax front I would recommend something like Collinite 845 (476ml @ R150 iirc), whilst for a sealant my new goto is the Menzerna Powerlock sealant (250ml @ R250).

Hope that helps
