Planning to buy a PC and was wondering what products,pads etc to get with it.Is it cheaper to order the lot from Autopia or get the products from someone like Polished Bliss.I have a white car dont know if that makes any diference to what products to buy

Thanks

Had a look and bought one then tried to buy one of the £35 transformers from Screwfix but they have stopped selling them.£55 for a huge double socket thing is all they seem to have

Cheers

They also sell the extention leads and the 110v plug for the pc.

The products you need to buy depends on how much paint correction your car needs mate

Bought the Sonus polishes as well, the pads come in the kit.Car is only a year old and white so the paint work is good and white never shines like a dark colour but heard that much about the PC I want to try it.My neighbour over the road just got a PC and did his black Porshce and it looks brilliant even under sunlight.

Buy some half decent pads and some Menzerna intensive polish to remove swirls. My skyline 34 came out like new

Menzerna intensive polish to remove swirls.
might be a bit harsh on one year old paint.

You might have already seen this but it is very useful and worth a read

Yes avoid intesive Polish to start off with...I have not used it because I dound other products did the job (and were cheaper)

I used Poorboys SSR2 on my WR Blue Impreza from www.cleanandshiny.co.uk and the results were superb
