Thanks for the suggestions ..

So white is the least aggressive pad? Followed by orange?

I should mention that the graphite grey is a metallic dark grey.. barely lighter than a lexus dark grey..

So is the Optimum Polish with white pad a good choice? Is it newbie proof? I've used my PC 7424 on my last car (black...) and had difficulties with it.. I was using the Sonus SFX2 that came with my PC and was not all that impressed. I noticed that it literally took minutes to break down.. and sometimes never seemed to break down at all.

What kind of pad? LC? Sonus?

Any recommendations of where to buy?

Sorry about all the questions - I'm not a complete newbie (been reading here for a long time), but want to make sure I make the right choices from the start on my new baby. I'm terribly nervous about making it worse. I mean, under the halogen I see NO marks when I look at the paint head on. But like I said, when I look at an angle 5 feet away from the light its minor scratch lines galore!

Thanks!
