Build a Detail Kit!

OK, so here is my current list. Let me know what you think!

-- Griots 6" HD Polisher Kit:
- WG Total Swirl Remover 3.0
- WG Finishing Glaze 3.0
- Various pads
- Griot’s Garage Random Orbital Wolfgang Duo

-- WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant
-- Menzerna FG400
-- Menzerna SF-4000
-- HydroTech Cyan/Orange Pads
-- WF Polishing Pad Combo (for hand use)
-- WG Fuzion Mini Estate Kit
- WG Auto Bathe
- WG Paint Polish Enhancer
- WG Fuzion 3oz wax
Wolfgang Fuzion Estate Wax Mini Connoisseur's Kit, Wolfgang Mini Wax Kit, Fuzion Wax Sample Kit

Does this look like a complete system? The price is even a bit steeper than I had expected it to be (totalling over the $500 mark), but my car for sure needs something that can really restore and remove swirl marks, as well as we want our reds to really shine and have a deep wet gloss to them. One thing specifically I need to know is if the pads that I have listed in here are good to use on the listed orbital for heavier swirl remover with the FG400, as well as the SF-4000 and then waxing with the Fuzion?

If there are any superior products to the ones I have listed, I would really like the suggestions. I am looking over everyone's ideas as I write this, and I know there are cheaper products I could be using, such as the OTS Meguairs line, but I'm just not sure their dependability for heavy swirl remover and great gloss?
 
I should mention that this will be a learning experience for me with a polisher, as I have only ever done my waxes by hand, but have heard the many benefits of using a polisher
 
I would not wax by machine -- the pads soak up too much product.

I see that you really enjoy waxing, but I would highly recommend Opti-Coat or Cquartz UK. Here's why: maintenance will be easier, and the less that you touch your paint, the less chance of inflicting defects.

FG400 can replace TSR 3.0, and SF4000 and Finishing Glaze are basically the same light polish.

While Sonax PF is usually my favorite go-to product, I don't think it'll break down properly on a DA. Optimum Hyper Polish may be worth a consideration as a "middle product" between FG400 and SF4000, though.

Lastly, for a DA, the Meguiars MF cutting pads are very useful.

I like what everyone is saying but I have a red late model Ford truck and without a doubt I get more comments when I use Poorboys Natty Red Wax. I don't think it last as long as some but it always looks great on red. Its not that pricey but looks it. Add that to your list
