Right method of order
3000 grit paper. its itselfs dumb down any scratches put in by higher grits and also helps make the flatter spot blend into the exsisting clear. personally i would go with the poli-seal from optimum over the poor boys stuff. also get yourself a couple good rolls of 1" or 1.5" blue painters tape.
Youve got a good list there, I havent used any optimum seleant but I have heard the poli-seal is quite good. I, myself, havent been dissapointed with the poorboys ex-sealant. One suggestion would be to opt out of the water blade and get yourself a cheap leaf blower, its quick and is air is the most efficient way of getting rid of water without leaving swirls.
yeah..im still refining the list. I heard lots of great things about the poor boys ex sealent and was a little cheaper then the opti one. I also added Mez 85d polish. I did get rid of the blade..everyone said it sucks..and got a chamois instead. I have a leaf blower..but that just seems excessive lol.
Dude truusst me its much quicker and that chamois will leave scratches eventually, i can dry my car in like 3 minutes. After you use the blower just get all the little spots with the cobra mf towels you ordered, easy as pie
maybe ill try it then..look crazy in the process but oh well haha.

sounds like a good list. everythings going to be trial and error remember that. you might not like any of these products for all you know. you can never waste money because it just adds to the lists of likes and dont likes. by doing this you will find the combination of products thats right for you. you really cannot put a price on it.
waterblades arent all that great unless they are for quick washes. for my weekly customers that just get a quick wash, windows, vacumm i use one to make the job quicker. i always leave them soaking in a water bucket with a slight amount of soap which helps keep them nice and slick. for a detail i use chamois only. helps prevent scratches.
