Hello all I am new to the forums and have gathered quite a bit of information from the posts. I have put together a interior/exterior list of products based on reviews and results I've seen achieved here. Should I invest in something like a orbital polisher? Does this look like a pretty sound list? Any recommendations are gladly accepted.

SONAX Wheel Cleaner Full Effect 16.9 oz.



Detailer's Engine Degreaser



Detailer’s Trim Detailer



Autogeek Quart Foamaster Foam



303 Speed Detailer



SONAX Tire Gloss Gel



Medium Black Nitrile Gloves, Pack of 20



Pinnacle Micro Rejuvenator Microfiber Detergent Concentrate



1-Pad Cyan Foam Heavy Polishing Pads, 3 Pack



Meguiar’s D111 Shampoo Plus, 1 Gallon



Menzerna Power Finish & Super Finish Bundle



Dodo Juice Purple Haze Soft Wax 30 ml.


 
Based on what I have read, you need more/greater variety of pads. Right now you have 3 of the cyan cut pads, no polish or finish. Unless you got a 3 pack of 1-each, in which case you should double that to have 2-each at least.

Did you get a 5-inch backing plate?
 
Can you reccomend any of the other pads by brand? In regards to the backing plate I actually haven't. There are quite a few options it seems with the orbitals buffers and polishers. Any recommendations on those? A fellow Michigander!
 
Nice!

I'm probably not qualified to give advice, but just placed a big order after doing a lot of reading. I have not used any of the items yet.

I got the harbor freight dual action polisher, was only $45 after coupon, there is a thread on it over in the polisher section.

I ordered the rest of my stuff from autogeek. I over-ordered honestly just to not have to deal with the hassle of starting the project, realizing I wanted more items, and waiting a week to get them.

Backing plate:

Meguiars Mirror Glaze W67DA G110 DA Polisher 5 inch Backing Plate

Pads:

Lake Country 5 1/2 x 7/8 inch Beveled Edge Pads 6 Pack, foam pad kit, build a kit, buffing pads, curved edge pads

Got 2 orange, 2 white, 1 black and 1 blue

Extra Pads: Since I didnt want to keep re-ordering, I also got some of the lake hydros to try out. For a higher cut pad, it seemed like people like the Cyan over the flat yellow.

Lake Country Hydro-Tech 5 1/2 x 7/8 Inch Foam Pads 3 Pack - Your Choice!

I think I got 2 cyan and 2 tangerine, 1 crimson?

I got a bunch of other products, compound, polish, wheel cleaner, metal polish, etc.
 
Excellent looks like it should be a pretty solid stack. I actually don't have a problem with Harbor tools. I've shopped at the store in Ypsilanti (gross) they seem to hold up for weekend projects. Thanks for all your input I too am going to put a large order as well you seen the 20% discount code I'm assuming?
 
Hah, yep I got it at the Ypsi store, not a great part of town. It was $10 to add another 2 years to the 90 day warranty, so I took a shot for $55. Got a free tarp too, love their freebie coupons. :P

For autogeek, I used the recent 15% off + free shipping sale over the weekend.
