Autosol is okay but IMO you just can't beat the Britemax metal twins.
Easy Cut = Metal Cleaner / Polish
Final Shine = Metal Polish / Sealant

Britemax #6S Spray & Shine is also available in 1 gallon bottle - which works out much cheaper per fl oz than most other protective QD products available.
Also available with 7.5% CS discount!

Festool Shinex RAP150 Rotary Polisher ...
Almost correct.
Tim's DAS-6s comes direct from the manufacturer in China, so its not a Kestrel.
All DAS-6s now come with the improved 3.1meter cable and have done for quite some time now.
The I4D spec DAS-6 is packaged with both a 5" and 6" backing plate to give you more choice over pads...
Regular snow foam and even the citrus ones are fine if used correctly, other options include ph neutral snow foam from Valet PRO or any high foaming LSP friendly shampoo like Duragloss #901, Megs Hyper Wash, Dodo Juice Supernatural etc.
The cheap hoff brushes on ebay just don't last.
IMHO the toughest wheel brushes out there are manufactured in Denmark by Vikan. The Vikan brushes just seem to last forever. Large range available also.

Are you still running the standard brake setup?
Bit of neg front camber would be nice. ;)
Make sure the rear shocks are set firmer than the front. I normally run my Konis on full and the fronts on 30 clicks.
Was this the brand new Power Gloss S100 or the older S34A?
I've not tried S100 yet, but everyone I speak to prefers Fast Cut Plus to S34A?
I've just read you are using a PC, Fast Cut Plus works best as a traditional compound - hitting it hard and fast by rotary.
Hi J
Normally I would recommend the Menz Kit 1 for renault owners as suitable for soft - med paint as Menz PO203S can be worked for a log time and produces an LSP ready finish.
The Menz Kit 2 comes with both PO85RD3.02 and PO85RE5. Even though Menzerna quote the same level of cut for both...
How about Britemax #5 Extreme Elements polymer sealant topped with #6P Liquid Polymer wax. Amazing clarity and shine with superb durability with UV protection.
You can get both products for less than £30. ;)

Easier to use than 476, and only £15 delivered on the DW Group Buy;

We sell microfibre's in a 12 pack with CS discount that come in a .99p each. Our cloths are a 80% Polyester & 20% Polyamide. The cheaper costco type products are normally a 70-30 percent mix or higher and don't last as well IMO...
Will have Menz polishes and pads in stock fairly soon (within the next two weeks) as on order and currently being manufactured.
Totally agree with above comments - Megs #205 is an amazing product and works equally well with orbital (DA's) and rotary.

A professional would charge approx £350 upwards for a full paint correction detail.
And would include;
An intensive wash programme using a ph neutral wash concentrate,
A warm citrus pre-wash solution applied to vehicle and rinsed,
Vehicle foamed using a deep lather to draw the dirt out and...
VP ph neutral Snow Foam is one of the best selling Snow Foams in the country.
If performance is poor its more than likely your snow foam gun requires cleaning.
It only takes a tiny piece of dirt/grit to block the lance, also over a period of time limescale and soap can build up on the metal...
