Roll, I can't launch my car for shit.

I personally use a MF cutting pad or a Surbuf pad for cutting. However i use surbuf for more neglected paints. For compound ive been using Menz FG400 and the occasional Megs D300.

For polish I use Sonax Nano polish but plan on buying perfect finish soon. Ive been using mostly the DD uber pads for polishing and final polish.

For the tighter areas of the car get a different size backing plate that way you can use smaller pads for pillars, etc.

For sealant, ive been using AF tough coat and apply that with an applicator but take a look at Sonax Net shield as it lasts longer (~6 months). After sealant has cured and been wiped off or a paint cleaner (like AF rejuvenate) has been applied, i tend to apply my waxes by hand as i can spread it really thin and end up using less. Plus this makes it alot easier to wipe off. Its a little tricky to do at first and takes alot longer, but i am able to apply wax in the little crevices like around the hood and door jambs. I use either a swissvax blue wax towel or a DD green uber super plush towel to remove wax.

One trick i tell alot of people is to apply wax into areas like the inside edges of the hood and engine bay area, gas cap area and any other small area as it help make the wax last longer.
