here is a link to autogeek and this is the kit i got
http://www.autogeek.net/pixmtliswrek.html

1. wash the car using the pinnacle shampoo
2. dry it with microfiber towel
3. clay bar the car with pinnacle ultra poly clay
4. taped up the weather strips
5. use the PINNACLE XMT light swirl remover kit (theres a video clip on how to use the kit on their site)
6. then the klasse high gloss sealant
7. then i use the p21s wax (works great, goes on and comes off easy and doesnt leave white chalky stuff on your weather strips)
8. when over with pinnacle crystal mist spray wax

you can also look under detailing facts and tips on their web

How do you like the 7424? I'm looking to get a new polisher/buffer to keep busy this winter.
