Hey guys, I finally got the money together to buy all the products I need to finally do my first `real` detail of my car. But I`m still a little confused on the exact steps I should take for best results.



I just bought Optimum Porter Cable 7424 Kit from autogeek but I will be buying different LC foam pads(as I have read in many threads the 6.5in has little cutting power).



I am confused though, what color and how many of each color foam pads should I buy?



Anyway, here is what I have so far for my steps:



1.Wash with Meg`s gold class

2.Clay with mother`s clay bar kit

3.Apply Optimum Compound II with PC using 4.5in orange light-cutting pad

4.Apply Optimum Polish II with PC using 4.5in white polishing pad

5.Apply Optimum Poli-Seal with PC using 6.5in gray finishing pad

6.Apply Optimum car wax



Are these the right pad/polish combination I should use? How many times should I change pads while polishing (1 pad per panel?)



Sorry for the long post, any answers will be appreciated
