I have kits with all 3 polishes (compounding, polishing and finishing) for R375 (3 x 250ml).

Aside from the polish you will need some pads. To start out with I'd suggest something with a medium cut and something with a finer cut. The 3M pads are my goto on the rotary, but most guys prefer either the Hex Logic or LC pads on the DA machines. The Meguiars pads are also nice, but stupidly expensive locally


In terms of sealing (LSP) you have 2 choices. Either go for a wax or a synthetic sealant. On the wax front I would recommend something like Collinite 845 (476ml @ R150 iirc), whilst for a sealant my new goto is the Menzerna Powerlock sealant (250ml @ R250).

Hope that helps

Hey David,

Thanx for the info man as soon as I have the machine I will place an order with you and send my guys to pick it up... As for the pads, I will get me some flexipad pads, dont know what colors though, red, blue, pink, white or yellow? I think for a cut I need a white one, polishing a blue one, an for finishing a red one, is this right?

Thanx for all your help
Regards,
