What do you guys recommend then for a starter kit?

Also on my van I have marks where the old stickers where and can't seem to get rid of them only had a little go with a mates da tonight but things he has didn't touch it at all but sorted everything else out.

Get n detailing world (if you not already) cleanyourcar.co.uk have a DA which is highly recommended and you can get it discounted for being a DW Member. Under £100.
As for choice of kits Maguire's kit is great but pads and polish combos are endless

I've seen there is alot mate lol not keen on megs stuff myself always find it hard to buff off

The kit I've got^^^ . Polishes are really nice to use and combined with the pads you can get very good correction.

Should easily get rid of the sticker marks. Just make sure you clay before polishing.

Hey, the marks on your van will be where the uv has faded the rest of the van. Id personally use a polishing machine with a firm compounding pads and a few bottles of farecla G10 finishing compound or G12 light cutting compound depending on how bad it is. A after doing this always wash again and finally polish or wax the vehicle.hope this helps

I used my mate da on Friday and hasn't touched the sticker marks at all he had a mega compound which looked like the highest grade (roughest) that they do

Post up a photo and i will show the tech guys at my place and get more info from them.

Does sound like the paint has faded on the rest of the vehicle
