    To answer some of the questions above. I will be using a Griots g9. I plan on using 5.5 inch pad with the 5 inch backing plate. I will be inside my garage. I plan on purchasing a swirl finding flashlight, but that`s about it. I do have a strong LED light overhead in my garage.

    I was also looking at Blackfire Polish, and HD Polish, any opinions on those?
    My 1st polish last year. Griots cream did best for me....great stuff. I tried some Adams polishes and Carpros stuff and liked BOSS creams way better

    Ok so can I get away with using just either the correcting cream or perfecting cream? Again this being my first go at polishing, I think doing a 2 step might be too daunting. Or I guess I can purchase both Correcting and Perfecting and do test spots with both? I don`t need an AiO as I`d rather use a dedicated sealant/wax afterwards.

    Ah, appreciate your posting that, I hadn`t heard which way they tend to be.
