Beginner Detailer
Hey guys,
I just need some advice on what should be my first priority to purchase. I've been browsing for some time now and I believe that I should get some p21s TAW. As for the rest, I have no clue. I have a TiAg E90 so any suggestions on what is best for it would be very well appreciated. I know there are many people asking, "what should I get??!?!?" but this is very specific as I only have silver cars. Thanks!! |

to me it really depends on what your trying to do. im not an expert but i will tell you what i bought first.
Exterior. 1. meguiars gold clas car wash. 2. stoners tarminator or p21 taw (although tarminator is cheaper) 3. a grout sponge from lowes works great. some people buy the sheepskin mit 4. micro fiber towels or this will tell you everything http://www.e90post.com/forums/newrep...te=1&p=7547391 |

It really comes down to personal preference really. The surface prep makes the biggest difference in my opinion. I would pick up a clay bar to prep the surface before wax/sealant. I have used Zaino in the past and loved it but am trying some Werkstatt acrylic jett on Friday since it is supposed to look great on silver. For polishing I like Menzerna SIP and FP.

In my opinion I wouldn't put tarminator and p21 taw in the same category. |

This is great advice right here. For a good looking surface, it comes down mostly to prep and technique. Plenty of good products out there, but your process will make the biggest difference.
