The easier way is to start with a brand that has everyting that you need. Most established brand would have the basic products that you mentioned. If you're looking to buy them from local stores (specifically ACE Hardware), you can look for Meguiars, Mothers, Sonax, 3M, etc. For online, Meguiars, Mothers, Duragloss, Sonax, or Optimum. I can try to suggest details from each brand if you like.

I have a question krismas and I hope you don't mind. Is there any place that I can buy optimum instead of online? Thanks. smile.gif

I'm not sure how they operate, but you *might* be able to get them at Optimum Malaysia authorised dealer/distributor's place. Other than that, I don't know any place that sells them off the shelves.

Well, theoretically, you may skip it, but, the bonded contaminants might gunk up your pads faster in this way.

I did try to compound but boy oh boy it was hard too wipe it off or perhaps by that time I was already dead tired. smile.gif
