First things first; :welcome: To Autogeek Online
This link contains articles written by Mike Phillips and has allot of great reading within. Mike has many well written articles and I'm sure you'll find them informative and useful.

Basic steps in order are:
Pick one product from each category from the steps above. You already have some great waxes so you're that far ahead of the game..
Autogeek has a kit section that contains everything you need to get started. For starting off I recommend a dual action polisher. These come on a variety of flavors and Autogeek carries most of them so take your time and educate yourself.
The kit pages below will give you an idea of what's available but if you do decide to purchase a Porter Cable 7424 style polisher opt for the 5 1/2" flat pads right off. The 6 1/2" are just too large and this has been confirmed many times over.

Car Care Kits, Car Care Cleaning Kits, Complete Detailing Kits
Decent kit
Pinnacle Twins & Meguiar's G110v2 Dual Action Polisher Kit FREE BONUS
Much better kit
Menzerna Porter Cable XP Maximum Shine Kit FREE BONUS
Flex Kit
If I were in the market for a kit this would be the one I'd choose.
Pinnacle Flex XC3401 Polishing & Swirl Remover kit, Pinnacle polishes, swirl removers, finishing polish, flex buffer

:welcome: GaulGw
Welcome to AG
Before I started here the previous buffer I owned was a 10" orbital that I got from Sears for about $40. This was about 10 years ago, and I'm not knocking the buffer because it still works, but it is light years removed from what is available today. You won't regret purchasing a DA from here at Autogeek, they will make you realize how much of a difference a good machine can amp up the finish on your car. Good luck, and let us know how you're making out.

Thanks for all the feedback. After lots of reading and watching video, I have decided to get a DA and to go with the Meguiar's. I have had good results with their products by hand and when I had problems, their service responses were very good.
Now I guess I wait for them to be in stock again.
(A sale or free shipping special about that time would be nice, too.)
