Don't know which DA polisher to get or waxes? I've always used meguiars. Are any of these others better? CAn I use any of them with any DA polisher? What is the easiest polisher to use? My cars, an 09 tacoma and a 77 trans am which was fully restored last year. I'll be using it basically as maintenance to get rid of any lights swirls and/or water spots.

again, just recommendations on the hardware and best waxes.

Thanks!

imo get Griot DA and buy a 5" backing plate. Get 5.5" hydro pads, 3 blue, 2-3 orange, 2 wax pads(red or CCS blue, red, or gold). Also get some surbuf pads 5.5" for heavy duty polishing. for easy to use polish get megs ulimate compound and m205 finish polish. M105 is great to have also, but dust a fair bit and has a short working time. Wax use Collinite 845. Don't waste time and money on AIO or sealants or galzes, use a finish polish, ipa wipe down then Collinite 845
