Picking up a few things to start with on a moderately-swirled car:



7424XP

CCS pads - 6.5" orange, 6.5" white, 6.5" black (1 of each)

Meguiars #105

Meguiars #205

Riccardo yellow clay (already own)

DG #601

DG #105





Let me know if I'm missing anything.
 
More pads. Especially the 4" version, and the appropriate backing plate.



You will get better results faster with a smaller pad. You will need probably 4 or 5 of each for a whole car because its vital that they remain clean and fresh.



May as well get the new LC Cyan and Tangerine pads, along with a few blackies. You will get a broader range of correction.

Yeah +1 :xyxthumbs No way I'd bother [messing] around with 6.5" pads on the PC (even an XP model).



Welcome to Autopia, 454Casull! You like the big-bores, huh?

So I should go with 4" pads only?



At least for significant correction on hard clear. Others claim to do OK with the larger pads, but it sure never works for me.



Those 6.5" ones are just *WAY* too big IME, the friction from all that surface area is simply too much.
