The Serious $250 Detailing Kit
Assuming you already have most of the things in the $150 Ultimate Kit, this bundle is the absolute best bang for you buck for getting into paint correction at a professional level. The Griot's G9 DA is fantastic choice that provides a great mid range DA that will last you for years. If you're trying to save some money, you can also opt for any of the Harbor Freight DA's or similar that will run you around $70, but I recommend the G9 if your budget allows. Additionally, both M105 and M205 are great entry level products that will be perfect for the use in a 2 step paint correction.
Many times I've said before that one of the most important things during a paint correction are your pads, which is why I only recommend the use of Lake Country pads. I'm 100% not sponsored, but these HDO pads are all I use for customer cars and all my personal vehicles too. They last forever, provide quick correction, and allow for good heat dissipation. If you've got more space in the budget, check out their microfiber pads as well. Lastly, isopropyl alcohol is great substitute for paint cleansers and is a great money save and when paired with new The Rag Company microfibers, your paint correction will go by like a charm!
