Starting to detail C5 Corvette

[6-speeder]

Just got my Buffer and I can't wait to get started.
Now what products to choose.
I attended the detailing class back in October of 05 and had an idea on what to buy. My first car show is in two weeks and would like to get my Red Vette ready.
I need to remove the scratched and swirls, Polish the paint, and wax this beast. I recall Mike Phillips saying that my car wasn’t bad.
I could use some help in identifing the compounds that I ned to get.
Thanks

With a DA, I would want to have these products on my shelf at least:

#83 DACP
#80 Speed Glaze
#7 Show Car Glaze
#21 Synthetic Sealant.

And of course a 7006 pad + bonnets to remove wax, a few 8006 pads, and a few 9006 pads, some hand applicators, Supreme Shine MF towels etc.

And trim dressings, tire dressings, cleaner for the wheelweels, glass cleaner, metal polish, interior products, etc, etc.
