Brandon, couple of questions for you. I also read your guide and found it to excellent! Ordered many of the products you recommended. I have three rigs, 04 accord that I recently purchased that while it may have been washed regularly, I doubt it was every waxed. The paint has many light scratches, I doubt any go through the clear coat. Next, an 2000 Land Crusier that has been really taken care of since we got it 4 years ago. Was professionally detailed about a year ago. Paint is in great shape but has a few scratches that I would love to see if I can get removed. Last, I have my 06 Tundra that is completely babied. Washed every week and also professionally detailed about 8 months ago. Has the 3m clear bra on most of the the high impact areas (first 18" of hood, back of mirrors, headlights, along rocker panels, etc). No scratches but dang it I still picked up a rock chip.
Anyway, I have a clay bar, Optimum Compound, DG #652 polish DG #105 and DG AW as well as a PC 7424. Which products would I use on each vehicles? I suspect the whole works on the Accord, right? What about the Crusier and Tundra? All three are dark in color if that matters. Any help appreciated!
Oh, one other question, I got PC 7424 kit mention on the forum with a nice selection of pads. Which pad should I use for each of the products? Thanks again.
