    Default Just bought a Kestrel...

    So,

    As I'm going to Lump's MOP day and intending to take an active part, I have taken the plunge and bought a Kestrel DA, after reading recommendations on here and Detailing World.

    So...

    What pads are recommended to buy and what products?

    Previously, I've done everything by hand and used the basic Megs 3 stage, Scratch X and clay bar kit.

    Will the megs 3 stage do the job with the DA or do I need to look at other cleaner/polish/wax combinations?

    The car is Ultra Blue btw.

    Cheers

    Cheers for that.

    I won't be touching the car with the DA until I come down for the MOP day. I'm keen to have no bad habits to un-learn!
