Reddit mentions of GRIT GUARD - The Original Grit Guard Insert Separates Grit From the Mitt (BLUE, 2 PACK)

So after writing all of this, I realized scratches seem to be your main concern, not overall paint correction. I'll leave all this info here just in case though.

For the scratches specifically, grab the basic Dr. Colorchip kit, and you won't need to worry about polishing! Otherwise doing it by hand is going to be way too much work.


If your budget is $300 you can easily afford an entire budget kit, all the way up to a DA poilsher! This is if you avoid the Meguiar's starter pack, of course.

 

Washing and claying:

1. Optimum No Rinse ($20)
   
   
2. Nanoskin Autoscrub sponge ($12)
   
   
3. 2 Home Depot Buckets ($10)
   
   
4. 2 grit guards ($20)
   
   
5. The Rag Company starter kit ($30)
   
    
   
   Polishing:
   
   
6. Harbor Freight DA Polisher ($50 with coupon)
   
   
7. 3 orange, 3 black 5.5 inch pads ($24)
   
   
8. Meguiar's M205 ($12)
   
   
9. Griot's Garage BOSS FCC ($20)
   
   
10. Isopropyl alcohol ($5)
    
     
    
    Total: $203
    
    And that's assuming you start from absolutely nothing!

Putting together a kit for my white 370z, and this is what I have so far, any suggestions would be awesome, as I am a noob:

Complete Kit

Microfiber

Buckets: Home Depot

Grit Guards

Anything else im missing? Really just a noob atm.
