Sonus Polishes - Are they any good?

[SteveP]

Been considering investing in a PC, seen the kit on autopia that including the sonus polishes and pads, I have read good things on the pads but not sure on the polishes, are these worth the money?

Also there is a guy selling the PC inc transformer and adapter cable for £180 delivered, it this a reasonable deal?

Finally, other than a set of the 4" Sonus spot pads is there anything else you guys would recommend as part of a starter kit?

i would say that looking to purchase from the US or getting something that has a transformer etc is going to be a bit of a pain in the arse...

why not think about getting a meguiars 220  - good value for money and if you are just starting off then it is a good machine to learn with

the sonus stuff is ok, BUT i would as above get Menzerna polishes, especially the menz ip, final polish and even the compound , theres a good sample set here http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polish/menzerna-250ml/menzerna-250ml-sampler-kit/prod_220.html

before ordering a g220 look here http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=69100&highlight=g220+poll

im not saying there still like it, but makes for interesting viewing

Thanks Shaun, I think I remember a post about that before this forum broke a couple of weeks ago, the figures have got a bit better since then but it still plays a bit on my mind. But on the other hand if I import a PC and that fails then its going to be much harder to return this for repair.

Thanks Guy/Shaun.

I quite like the sound of that set... looks quite good vfm... don't forget masking tape too

[SteveP]

I think thats the kit for me then (plus the masking tape and some more pads).

Next I could do with some suggestions for a good sealant?

Also are different wax's better with different colour cars, if so do you have any recommendations for Steel Grey?
