Considering a PC purchase

[Josh@Renparts]

definitely buying one at some stage soon.... so i can PC all the cars i repair/buy and sell. Just wondering what i need as a whole package to last me a while, do the pads wear out? also wondering what cutting compounds i need etc. and what its going to cost.

can someone give me a run down (mentioning no names ) of what ill need... and recommended products...

thanks for any replies..

PC kit, i would suggest the below. This gives you the polisher, a backing plate, and a good choice of 6" cutting pads (pm 182 blue, he can get you the discount code, and is very helpful )

You'll need one of these for the PC, as it comes with an american two pin plugtop (cut that off)

Then you need a 110v transformer, (a single outlet will do)

and maybe a 110v extention lead

Then you need some cutting polish/swirl remover, i like this,

then some kind of finish polish,

Then, just use some Autoglym Super Resin Polish(SRP), and Extra Gloss Protection (EGP) to seal the paint up.

Also to compliment the pc, i would invest in some 4" spot pads and backing plates. They are useful for bumpers and curved secions of body work.

can't add much to the above other than a good wax p21s or oynx etc
