What should I add to my arsenal? (DA noob)

I'd consider myself a porter cable noob, but I have practiced quite a bit with it over the past several weekends. Anyways, I have a couple cars I plan on detailing and they are all Hondas, my yellow s2000, my gf's green accord, and a buddy's black s2000 (the oldest of the bunch and the only one with a decent amount of swirls). My current process is as follows:



-Megs GC Wash

-Clay using Megs QD as a lubricant

-M80 w/ white pad

-M7 w/ black pad

-NXT 2.0 w/ black pad



What I would like to add is a noob friendly polish with more cut than the M80. After some searching it seems like M83 with a white (maybe even orange) pad will do the trick, any other recommendations? Also is there a better finishing polish after M80 to use before the wax? Lastly, what is a good sealant that I could pop on before the NXT that would work well with my current process?
 
as long as your not working on hard CC's, you can keep using M83/M80.



when you start working on ceramic CC's, you may want to invest in some Menzerna...
 
Well i've stocked up on lc 5.5 orange, white, and black pads. I think yellow and M83 maybe be a little too aggressive on Honda's CC, is my thinking right? Any recommendations on a finishing polish/glaze and a sealant to use?
