just watched a show on tv where they clayed and polished a show car. They used all power polishers and the appropriate liquid polishers?
Last time I polished a car it was all a manual effort, first the polish and then rubbing it off. For those familiar with the process, or those who do this for a living, what do I need to buy to polish the car with the minimum about of manual effort? What kind of polisher? What kind of pads for the polisher? What kind of polish? Etc?

 

There is lots of info on how to polish your car on this site. Go to detailing on this forum. I tend to use chemical guys for equipment and materials.

 

I live 5 miles away from Adams polishes and they sponsor the local cars and coffee. I've always tried a lot of products on my vehicles, but was having trouble with some swirls on the aston. I talked with them at cars and coffee and they had me bring it by after the show. We worked on a section found what worked and with some work I am amazed at the shine and depth. I think it's kind of intimidating to do a first time correction on a high end auto but they gave me the confidence by showing me the products on my vehicle.
+1 for the leather conditioner great stuff with spf protection.

 

YouTube Ammo NYC. His videos and products are amazing imo. No affiliation, just a customer. I've learned so much about washing and detailing correctly just by watching the videos.

 

Watch the AMMONYC videos on youtube. Some of his older ones are best for what you are interested in. Walks you through it. Look at the Ferrari ones around 3 years ago, explains a lot.


I pm'd you also to get you set up.
