I don't know if anyone will remember my previous post about alternatives to a G100 or PC, but I have made a decision on what I am going to get. I had been looking at a cheap orbital polisher, but after reading more on the forum and from the replys to my post I have decided to go with the G100. I was finally able to sell an extra set of wheels and tires for a truck I traded a year ago, so I now have enough money for a G100. Now my next question, what else should I get? I am looking at getting the Package 1 from ADS, which comes with a G100, backing plate, and W8006 pad. I will be using it on an '02 Grand Caravan, dark blue with mild swirls, and an '04 Malibu, light green with few noticeable swirls. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Re: Decided to get G100...now what else?
Well ,the standard products would be #80 and #21. Maybe a small bottle of #83 or #7.
Not sure what money you have, but getting a box of 6 pads, 1 7006, 2 8006, and 3 9006 pads, and a pack or two of bonnets would be a great start for you. Getting the 6 pads is the cheaper way to do it, so see if you can swing it.

- 1 Microfiber bonnet (place on top of cutting pad) for wax removal
- #21 Synthetic sealent or NXT wax (I perfer 21)Let's make all of the cars shiny!Comment

Re: Decided to get G100...now what else?
Thanks for the input guys. This is what I think I will be ordering.
-ADS G100 Package #1
-1 8006 pad (the above package also comes with one)
-1 9006 pad
-1 7006 pad
-#80 Speed Glaze
-Smooth Surface Clay kit
-#21 Synthetic Sealant? (trying to decide on LSP yet, leaning towards #21)
-Microfiber bonnet (ADS's website says discontinued?)
My wife's dark blue '02 Grand Caravan will be my first project (victim?). My plan is to first wash, then clay, then go over it with #80 using the G100 using 8006 pad, then apply LSP (#21?) with G100 using 9006 pad and removing it with 7006 pad and microfiber bonnet.
How does this all sound?Comment

Re: Decided to get G100...now what else?
You might have to get a bottle of #83 just in case that your car has hard paint type or trying to smooth out some medium scratches. So far, I have really good result on my Black car with #83->#80->#7->TechWax."Huu duyen thien ly nang tuong ngo,

Your process is fine. It will make a big difference right away, even if #83 and a second 8006 pad is needed in the future.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR BlueComment

Re: Decided to get G100...now what else?
I got the ADS G100 #2 kit. It's a pretty good package for removing swirls and the NXT wax is great.2016 Focus STComment

Re: Decided to get G100...now what else?
I think you'll be very pleased with your purchase. Depending on your paint, something with a bit more "bite" like #83 might also be necessary. Don't forget to stock up on one or two good MF drying towels as well as some wiping/detailing towels too.Originally posted by page2171 View PostComment

Re: Decided to get G100...now what else?
Comparing the pics I have seen here on the forum to my car I am pretty sure I'll be good with #80. If not, I guess it will be a learning lesson for me. As for the MF towels, I have a pretty good selection already, I'm just new to using a PC.Originally posted by Bronco4me View Post

not realated to the G100 but get yourself a good stool. A Caravan has a large surface area so a rolling stool is your best friend!Patrick Yu

Re: Decided to get G100...now what else?
The #83 was a victim of my budget. I was on a pretty tight budget for this purchase. Basically, the only reason I was able to get a G100 at this time was that I finally sold an extra set of wheels and tires from a truck I had and I am using that money for this purchase. As for the stool, it does help a lot, I used one last time I waxed the van and it helped a lot. The size of the van is what started me down the road of getting a G100. The last time I waxed the van I did it all by hand (wash, Cleaner Wax, Gold Class) in one day, and I thought my arms were going to fall off when I got done.
