So I've been dabbling in the world of orbital polishers and I decided I REALLY like using a machine (as opposed to working by hand). As a result, I think I have convinced wifey to buy me the DA polisher and accessories from ADS.
Here is my question:
I have two cars and I am a recreational detailer. I *may* do the odd other car beyond my own (for a friend - not paid). I have NO formal training in using a DA polisher and I was hoping for a class in NJ before I bought one, but I too impatient to wait.
Both my cars are less than 2 years old and neither is of a color that would show substantial swirl marks (white and silver). In fact, my car (which is garaged parked) has never even been hit with a drop of rain (yet)
.
I'm sure if I put them under the proper light, they might be in need of a mild correction, but I think they are both in good shape.
So, having said all that, what should I buy (in terms of supplies) to supplement the DA polisher (pads and products). Here's what I already have at home (my personal inventory):
1 DC Paint Cleaner
1 Show Car Glaze
1 Nxt Tech Wax
1 Nxt Tech Wax 2.0
1 Gold Class Wax
1 NXT Speed Detailer
1 NXT Wax Spray
1 Quik Detailer
1 UQD
1 Vynil Cleaner
1 Megs All wheel Cleaner
2 clay magic clay bars
2 Interior detailers
1 Mother's mag and rim cleaner
1 Poorboys Wheel Sealant
1 - 6 inch foam bonnet
1 - 7 inch foam bonnet
1 - 6 inch microfiber bonnet
4 - 10 inch mf bonnets (from old orbital)
I think that probably covers most of what I have. I figure I should get some #80 or #83 but what else? As I said above, this is strictly a hobby for me, but I want to make sure I have enough products and supplies to do a competent job (ie: I want enough pads to be able to just switch them out when doing a full detail).
Thanks.

Polishing Paint removes the stress in my life, and the swirls on my car.
