Like the title said, I just got a used 07 nnbs crew and need to do some correction, no major scratches just swirls. Plus I need everything else to maintain this truck. I found a package from adams http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-338-adams-complete-dual-action-car-polisher-kit.aspx that looks like it would be all I need for the correction part.

I also need opinions on basic every week products to use and where to get them. Im very very new to actually detailing a black truck to keep it in great condition. So any and all help would be great from start to finishing products.

So http://www.glimmerglassdetailing.com/poudmpawfrit.html would be a better deal then the adams product with the same pc?
Thats our most popular pc package that we sell. And it comes in 100.00 less than the adams kit too. The one difference I see is that the adams kit has an APC and quick detailer included, but if you really wanted those items, you could add them in and it'll still come in significantly less than what they're asking. Plus, ours has free shipping too :)

fwiw, if you want a quick detailer and APC, heres two links:

Thats cool man, no problem. We'll walk you through everything :) I just replied to your pm too btw. Anyway, for routine maintenance on a weekly basis, heres a pretty basic setup that would take care of what you need. http://www.glimmerglassdetailing.com/carwashkit.html

You could also grab a quick detailer like Spray n Gloss and give that a wipedown after your routine washes. I'd recommend a McIntosh Towel or Elite Towel for this (and wax removal too).

Then just rewax every 6 or 7 weeks and you should be good to go :)

The SSR line up works great for me. Some people prefer diffrent things. I like the SSR's and they work great.
i used them today for the first time on one panel and HOLY CRAP, AMAZING, although i have nothing to compare them to.
