Here is what I would get,
the PC and sonus pad kit from here...
I would also get the sonus base kit and topcoat kit.
You can never have enough Mirco fiber towel.
that would get you everything from one place .. that here
Now you can get stuff from auto geek..
Dual Action Deluxe Kit
PINNACLE POLYCLAY KIT
Klasse Total Kit
and if you need polishes
Poorboy`s Swirl Removers
and get your polisher at Loews
or here

Menzerna Car Care Kit
BLACKFIRE PolyClay II Kit (Ihave this it works great)

Gold Class or NXT soap. I dont order soap on line...
Autopia store has a good WW micro for drying
1- Wash Mitt- no swirls
2-bucket wash method -1 for soap, 1- for rinsing the mitt
Evaluate your surface, does it have scratches or swirls?
A PC from Lowes 7336
Pad and backing plate package from Autopia
Sonus polishes
Autoglym sealant
NXT tech wax is great and you can get it local.
...Oh ya, get some clay :)

Koven- Welcome to Autopia!
Besides all the "read up" advice you`ve already received, I`ll add:
Get yourself a foamgun and get acquainted with it ;)
Best thing you can do for a black car, IMO. Search on "foamgun" and you`ll find all sorts of info.

any clay
NXT or Eagle One wash
Megs #80 for swirls
Megs ColorX for cleaning
Megs NXT or #26 for wax
until you learn what mixes and doesn`t it easier to stay in 1 product line for good results
Meguiars products can be found at Napa, Carquest and paint supply stores
