Default Help a newbie

Greetings, I was hoping the wash and wax wackos could help. I am interested in using a sealant but i am confused about which one. I love a clean polished machine and until now I have been using P21S. I love it but it does not last long. I enjoy waxing the car but do not want to make a career out of it. The Klasse AIO appeals to me for its simple application and reported longevity. What would be your recommendations for its use or a similar product ? I also have some minor sratches I would like to take care of. Is there any kind of polish that could be applied by hand to help reduce those scratches. Also do I have to clay if I use a light polish? I would eventually like a porter cable but finances are tight. There is so much info available but a little overwelming. If some one could help with there secret recipe I would appreciate it. What are the basic supplies that I need ( # towels, pads etc.) Any wash and wax wackos in the western Mass? Thanks in advance..

Few different AIO products out there now:
Optimum Poli-Seal
Zaino AIO
Jeff Werkstatt Prime
etc..

I've read good things about all of them. I bought ZAIO, it's pricey but I read very good longevity results with it. I picked it mainly because I won't be using it too often and it's good on cars I don't plan on detailing all the time (parents).

The Optimum line of products are affordable and easy to use. They might be a good pick for your situation.

Towels?

Try buying a starter pack of towels at your favorite Microfiber retailer. Here are a few:
exceldetail.com
pakshak.com
danase.com

I'd get at least 1-2 Microfiber waffle weave drying towels.
3-5 microfiber polishing towels.
1-2 sheepskin or chenille wash mitts.
Few applicator pads.

all good products above...

my fav for beginners is finish first- coupla coats will last and its an easy job. if you wanna make the paint pop even more and make the shine last longer, top it all with your p21s!
