New Guy Needs help!

[jake720]

Hi,



I just bought a 2000 Ford Explroer Eddie Bauer that is a metallic green in color. The paint has tons and tons of swirls and a few scratches. I have been reading tons and tons of sites and just get more and more confused of which products to use. So far this is what I am thinking about getting. Any other suggestions would be great! thanks! Oh yeah and please don`t use your abbreviations for products as i really do not understand them.
