Newbie's kit recommendations?

[tnforever]

Havent been here for a while, but over the holidays I hand polished my car and the long hours (and I didnt even spend that long, maybe 15-30min/panel) and sore arm, not to mention the disappointing (if expected) result, is pushing me towards a buffer.



I'm almost certain I'm getting a G110, but I'm not sure what pads/products I need.



I work on Toyotas and Mercedes (with ceramic) with light to moderate swirling (the spiderwebs have been taken out by my arms...). For some reason one of my Toyota's roof has these groves in the paint, like someone pressed hard enough to compress it down.



Anyway, I know I can get every pad in the book and be good, but I'm on a budget, and dont want to get more than I need. Will one of the kits on autogeek be sufficient, or should I build my own?



I already have Meg's UC and SwirlX at home, and by hand use, they really seem to be enough, especially if it was multiplied by the power of a buffer, but anything else that could complement the range that what I have cant handle?



Finally, I'm wondering if I should get 4" pads if I get a G110, or go with something like a powerball mini, for things like headlights, door edges, etc...? Somehow I feel like even 4" pads will be a pain for nooks and crannies like the little holes in the bumpers, etc...

I use lake country pads, both 4 inch and 5.5. I primarily use orange, white, grey and sometimes I use purple foamed wool. On a budget I would want to have at least 3 each of the foam pads mentioned. Forget the power ball as the 4 inch pads are usually a good tool for headlights and small areas.



Menzerna SIP and your choice of Menzerna finishing polishes obviously come to mind but you can always put that off and use up your Meg's stuff.
