Which PC pad kit for a newb? and Which products

I am a newb to the whole porter cable craze. I got a 7336sp a year ago and forgot about it, until i started cleaning out my garage a few days ago.

I never got any pads for it. All of my detailing supplies are diminishing too. I was heavy on the meguiars line as it was all that was carried by my local car shops. I'd like to branch out and from what i remember reading last year, Zaino and/or Poorboys seemed to be the way to go. I have a red car (ford's rio red), it's almost an orange in some lights, but it's a nice shade of red i others.

that was my background here is my question:

What Pads/backing plate should i get, and which products should i get for use with pads. I'd like to have a full supply of stuff for any job i encounter (we have 5 cars in my family, plenty of stuff for me to practice on by the time i get to my baby) and i'm prepared to drop a bit of coin for everything. Also if you could please tell me where to get these products

Thanks in advance.

i like 6" hook/loop backing flex plate, I prefer sonus over lake country, a few of each depending on your volume, orange, blue, green, white and black pads. Since your using a pc , I'd recommend optimum, mezerna , poorboys and clearkote compounds. I just think meg's #83, 80 work better by rotary.

hope that's a start
