First time with DA, which chemicals should I get?

Can`t go wrong with the Griots--plenty of power (which you`ll appreciate once you get into this) and the lifetime warranty backed up by great customer service. You`ll be much better off dollars wise if you stay away from kits--just buy want you need as you need it. Kits usually contain things you may never use. Get the Griots and equip it with a 5" backing plate and 5 or 5.5" flat pads and a 3.5" backing plate and 4" pads for the tight spots (if money allows). Make sure you buy plenty of pads--the shortest route to failure is to try to polish an entire car with one or two pads. Here`s a post by Mike Phillips re number of pads---How many pads do I need to buff out my car? - Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum Try to keep it simple for your first attempt at machine polishing with perhaps an All In One like HD Speed or a one step polish like HD Adapt--both really easy to work with.

marlinspike- The GG has a lifetime warranty; the PC has a hollow shaft (where the plate mounts) that has broken off for some people here. IMO it`s easy, get the Griot`s, and I like their "heavy duty" one with its longer cord (even though I have lots of extension cords, it`s still handier).

Ok, I`m going to take advantage of the 15% off this weekend. Here`s what I`m thinking:
Griot
and
Wolfgang Pad Werks Pad Cleaner & Extender Combo
and
Pick 6 6.5 inch Lake Country CCS pad kit
with 3 white pads and 3 orange pads.

Should that be good? Not trying to make a show car out of it, just a nicer looking daily driver.

Got it. Left a message on Saturday, so hopefully I`ll hear back soon.

Anybody know if they are out of town or something? I`ve left a couple of messages over the course of the week, still haven`t heard.
