This is the setup I'm planning to get. The only thing I have right now is P21S paintworks cleaner and the paste wax. I want to get a PC so that I can get things done faster (girlfriend complains I spend more time with the car than her)

This should be a good start? Or do you recommend something else?

Definitely get some Cobra MFs.

Wouldn't you like to get a couple of foam pads and some swirl removers since you are getting the PC?
 
you should bump the light XMT kit up to intermediate. instead of getting XMT2 and XMT1 with what you have now, you can get XMT3 and XMT1 with the intermediate kit. This will give you the supplies needed if you have some deeper swirls and scratches.

also, after i did some reading last night, you may want to pick up either one of the two finishing glazes made by DP or WG. The XMT glaze that is included with the kit will not let the Poorboys Sealant you chose to bond to it because the XMT glaze has carnauba in it.

Other than that, yore all good!
 
Thanks for the tip on getting the intermediate instead. Don't even know what the glaze does yet. Still got more reading to do.

I was just going to do the following:
wash
clay
swirl remover
polish
sealant
wax
 
FWIW, I found that the EX-P does have some filling properties. That is the main use of glazes, is to fill in scratches. You definitely need pads. I would suggest two each of the light cutting, polishing and finishing pads. There is also tire shine, though you could get something decent OTC if you want.
 
If you don't have pads research the Edge pads, then make an informed decision. I have them and find them easy to use, they give great results and they're easy to clean.
 
:iagree: with the XMT 3. You'll use it if not on your car on someone else's. :) A guzzler and some MF's and you're golden. :) Do you have clay and carwash already?
 
I've got lots of MF. I think I'll pick up a guzzler or two though

After watching the video on the site about the pads, I think I'm sold on that instead.


Now my cart looks like this:

Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax
Poorboy's EX-P Pure Sealant
Porter Cable 7424 Polisher with FREE BONUS
The Ultimate Guzzler Waffle Weave By Cobra 28 x 54
Edge 2000 6 Inch DA Pads: The Edge Dual Action 6 Inch Kit
Edge 2000 6 Inch DA Pads: Edge 2000 6 Inch White DuraFoam Pad( Figured having 2 to use for applying sealant and one for waxing)

How what should I try for swirl remover? XMT 1 and 3 or say like a poorboys SSR1 and 2.5?

Your list looks really good. Check out this link to the XMT line and watch the videos. XMT was designed to be used with your PC. I have not used the PB line so I can't comment on it. I've used XMT with amazing results. XMT Series by Pinnacle; Xtreme Machine Technology polishes & glazes for dual action orbital & rotary polishers.
 
Also, I'd get the XMT pad care combo (pad conditioner and cleaner). That stuff rocks:righton:

You will not be dissapointed! You should also look into the ShMiTTs, they have been very well received by all!
 
:iagree: ShMiTTs ROCK! By all means add them to your order.
 
I wouldn't say by ALL. But for those who have used it, MOST like it.
 
I may have to pick that up too. My current mitt looks like roadkill. =/
