Buying a UDM - Do I need to add to my product arsenal?

Thus far I've been doing everything by hand and I'm pretty much over that. :) I've decided to get a UDM and I am curious if I need to buy any other products to go with it. My current product line for correcting/protection is...



Collinite 476S

Scratch X

NXT 2.0

Megs Paint Cleaner Step 1 (#6?)

1Z Einszett Metallic Polish Wax



The car is a black 07 Mazda 6. There's some deeper scratches on the front bumper, but it's mostly light stuff/swirls.



Also, how many/which type of pads should I get? I assume these are what I'll need: CCS Pads .
 
Dude you search???????? There is a ton of info on what you're asking.



I'll help, but I'm going to keep this short and sweet.



1 - 5" Backing Plate

3 - Orange 5.5" Pads

3 - White 5.5" Pads



Optional-

1 - Black 5.5" Pad (optional, I like to use it with my AIO)

1 - 3.5" Backing Plate

2 - Orange 4" Pads

2- White 4" Pads



I think you're going want few more products as well. I think you're probably set in regards to waxes but couple nice polishes will do you wonders.



If it was me, since I like to stock up-

1 - Optimum Compound

1 - Optimum Polish



From what I understand, Mazda paint is pretty soft so you may not even NEED the Compound. But, I would suggest picking it up just incase.



So there you go. Everything you need to get started.



Oh, and why 3 pads of the 5.5"??? They're on sale @ Autogeek! :)

Thanks for the reply. I did search but my thread was originally about what I need to add to my arsenal and then I decided to add on the part about pads as an afterthought. :D
