Well just spent a fortune today on the below products.
The complete kit will give the car a full paint correction from start to finish with the jetwash/snowfoaming and the 3M products plus machine polisher, then to finish a good gloss wax sealent to complete!
Anyone think I need anything else for my collection? I'm going to jetwash first, then snowfoam, then ph shampoo, panel wipe, then all 3m stages for paint correction then seal with the dodo juice hybrid to finish, I'm planning to use the sealent/wax hybrid on the wheels too!

Like the detailing machine kit! I'm not sure how good the karcher foam lance is though, I had one with my jet wash and ended up getting a different one off eBay.

What I'll then is 1, jetwash, 2, snowfoam, 3, shampoo, 4 iron-X, 5, claybar, 6, panel wipe, 7, machine polish, 8, seal/wax. Sound good? Just want to do it perfectly. Thanks
But on a new car you won't need to do all three stages of polish, that's over-kill.
Just the final polishing stage is probably enough in reality. Make sure you start by using the least abrasive step and see how the finish is. If you think it needs more then step up to the next one. The last thing you want to do is remove too much clear-coat unnecessarily.
Also, is that a rotary polisher (as opposed to a Dual-action). If so, have you had any training? If you haven't, be VERY careful! Rotary polishers can do a lot of damage in the wrong hands!

Yes I also think the last ultra Fina stage will suffice for my paint, for the Mrs 2013 mini I'll use all three, the polisher i have is this one but can't find out even with Google if it's dual action or rotary pal.
Nice selection of goodies you've bought yourself there....although you'll be severely disappointed with the Karcher foam lance attachment. It produces nowhere near as much foam, thickness and quantity as a proper foam lance.

You really need to find out- very different techniques for using them. Without meaning to cause offence, I'd suggest if you don't know what you've bought then you are probably not going to know how to use it.
And if you don't know how to use it, at best you'll be wasting your time..... at worst you'll damage the paint on your car.
Detailing world would be a good place to start to get some advice. With a DA you can watch some tutorials online and then pick it up as you go without too much fear of doing any irreversible damage, however a rotary polisher really isn't a tool to be used by a novice.

Cheers buddy, it's unused so assume I can send it back anyway, reason I got this one is because it had all the 3m products and came with 2 X 3m pads for each stage.
TBH you can get great results with a DA so have a look at the Megs or the Kestral one. If you feel a bit flush you can get the Rupes Bigfoot. Awesome bit of kit.

Cheers pal ive contacted the company I bought from to try and exchange the rotary for a dual action. Will update when they get back to me and post what they suggest to exchange with, as I want to keep the 3m products. I think they have a dual action sealey one!
