I am pretty new to the whole detailing scene. I understand the basics of it all. I just invested in a bunch of products from the consumer line, DC cleaner and polish, clay bar, UQD, NXT 2.0. Having a Silverado, it's going to take some time to apply and work these products by hand.
Now I've thought about going with a DA for later on so I'm not doing this by hand all the time. There's a lot of information about what pads to use, Lake Country, Meguiar's, probably others that won't come to mind. Then there are the different types, just saw a thread talking about orange, black, and white Lake Country pads.
Is there a "start here" thread for us noobs that would like to get into using a DA. Maybe having the recommended pads from different companys, something like a cross reference "A Lake Country _____ pad is the same as a Meguiar's ____ pad, and it is good for doing this ____".
Are the consumer lines of products usable with a DA? I just read somewhere saying the NXT sealant is the same as the pro line version except that the pro version has more lubricants for use with a machine. I'm guessing since a DA isn't listed in the consumer lineup, that those products aren't good to use with a machine, though I have seen recommendations for using SwirlX and ScratchX with a machine (I think).
I'm sure there have been many threads just like this one, I just don't know what to search for to bring them forth. If there is a road map for us noobs, could it be made sticky? If not, could one be made? Thanks in advance.
