Looks like you are missing carnuba paste wax, tire shine applicator, buffing spurs, latex gloves, and a buffing apron.



Do you have a good chamois.



Everything else seems to be in check. Good job.
 
I have p21s wax, dozens of sponges for the tireshine, buffing spurs? (the wife wears the spurs here) and many latex gloves (not the fakes), no chamois anymore. Buffing apron... I had not thought about that.... I'll give it some thought. I think my wife could make one, I'll have to find a suitable fabric. It'll keep her off my back for a while... those freaken spurs hurt.





wait.

Isn't natt's paste wax a carnauba?
 
:chuckle:



You can use a flat head screw driver in place of buffing spurs. You want to cut the wool pad before you use it, unless you want flying cotton candy like strings all over the place while you are buffing.



Ask her to make some cookies for a job well done.



As far as nat's, not sure, there are thousands of products out there don't know them all or care to for that matter. Just want to make sure it says carnuba paste wax somewhere on it. Carnuba will help you in many different areas, it's a great universal wax. Some think it's old fashioned, but I have been real successful with it. Plus save a lot of money with not having to buy a bunch of other stuff.



Still get a good chamois water-sprite is pretty good and cheap.

My general thought process is to learn a good carnuba line or mixed line, then learn a sealant, then a 2nd' carnuba line, then a secons sealant line.



I think a lot of people hunt for the mirical product, when really it comes down to know when, what, how to use what you have to it's fullest extent.



I've been very happy with my MF so far. I grew up using chamois, and have slowly moved away from them... The neighborhood gets testy when i slaughter the sheep in the front yard. :bigups
 
You can still use the MF but when you chamois the vehicle use the MF behind it and it will remove any chamois streaks there are. Plus you can use it to wipe down the interior. Unless you like doing laundry don't bother with a chamois.



Notice you are missing some areosal shampoo and a carpet shampoo brush. You can more than likely find the shampoo at your local dollar store. As far as good carnuba line Mother's and Mequaiar's are great, easy on easy off, great results.



I'm smelling the cookies.
 
I'll be using the products I know from the carpet and leather industry for the interior, Minus of course the trim, dash, metal polish.... One step at a time. Need to learn what i have coming before i start heading down that road.





As for brushes and that gear I am all set.
 
Looks like a very nice order! :waxing:



Natty's Blue is a carnauba paste wax fortified with polymers if I'm not mistaken.



Considering you're using foam pads, not wool, I don't think a spur would be good for those pads. Just the XMT pad cleaner and *maybe* a nylon brush.



Why bother with a chamois when you have three very nice Waffle Weave MF towels?

buahahahahhahaha that's a classic.



i'll be getting some bonnets, and i have a rotary with wool pads, but i will wait on that till i know the ins and outs of my products.



that and i find a '83 POS in lime green to work on.
 
Spurs are only used for wool pads, just for future reference. You can always throughly clean the buff pads by spraying them out with a water hose, the presssing the water out, then vacuum the excess, then place the pads back on the buffer and turn on the buffer at high speed to remove the excess then let sit dry to completely dry.



Have fun.
 
Ah so it is kind of a combo carding brush and cleaning tool for wool pads?



Kind of an off topic question, but when people say they rinse with alcohol/water 50/50 mix. What alcohol are they using? Isopropel alcohol or rubbing?

Last person to notice what I put for my location gave me a negative rep point for it. LMAO



Might as well go for the SSR2.5 w/wool pad on the rotary ASAP...see how fast you can possibly get it down to the primer :p



EDIT--Isopropyl Alcohol
 
The buffing spurs are only for high speed wool pads, just for clarity purposes.



Don't bother with the alcohol all together, save you 50 cents. Just spray with plain water with you water hose nozel. It's that simple. There are a lot of cutting corners you can do to save a lot of money, it's just a matter of learning them (without sacrificing quality).



Take it easy back tommorrow.
 
Most people do the Isopropyl alcohol wipe-down to ensure that there are no fillers left on the surface so that the swirling can be properly evaluated after polishing.



You can find IPA at Eckerd, CVS, the supermarket, anywhere really.
