Anything else I will really need?
 
Some sort of interior cleaner/protectant. And if it were me, I'd add a jar of carnauba, like pinnacle ss II or max wax, to layer over the WG DGPS.
 
What size HT pads are you getting? I assume you are getting them to apply LSP.
 
Some Meguiars APC+ or Optimum Power Clean would be good to add. Trim protectant and glass cleaner too.

Just got home and see that I forgot a couple of things that I have. I have the Detailer's Pro Krystal Vision glass kit and Megs APC+. I also have Surf City Glass Cleaner.

5.5 inch low profiles. Yes, I am getting them for LSP. Mainly because I haven't decided yet if I am going to go with the Finishing Wax in the Megs MF Kit.
 
I posted a question recently about favorite pad for applying LSP and the consensus was pretty much 4" HT Crimson pads, so you might want to consider that over the 5.5". I'm getting ready to buy them myself.

I will have to think about that. Any particular reason for the 4" over the 5.5"?
 
The reasons I got were they will fit in smaller tighter places and they soak up less product so less waste, which seem like good reasons to me.

Makes sense...I think I will have to switch. :)
 
can you use a 4 inch pad with a 5 inch backing plate or would you need to get a smaller bp too??

As some have already mentioned - Meguiar's APC+ or Optimum Power Clean.
Also, if you don't have any good brushes - I love the Mother's 2 Brush set AG sells.
Same goes for a good wash medium - I use the LC Big Blue Cube mostly.
Plenty of terry towels for interior work - no sense in wasting high dollar MF towels to get dirty and gunked up - also the terry towels will likely work better in certain instances.

You CAN use a 5 inch backing plate; but you are going to have a 1/2" of backing plate sticking out over your pad. That's almost like intentionally harming any spot you get close to. (You need a smaller B/P).

I have some terry towels and a bunch of cheap MF's for the interior. I also have a few Micro-Chenille wash mitts. I also have some brushes around here somewhere.
