New to hand washing, is this the right equipment?

I got a 2013 Mercedes coupe last year, it's white.



For a while I was going through synthetic soft touch washes and I have had it detailed/clayed professionally about 4 times this year to keep it looking nice.



It has accumulated quite a few swirl marks (though not that noticable due to being white) so I have decided to switch to hand washing.



I picked out these items on Amazon to get started, did I pick the right ones? Do I need anything else?



Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner, 64oz. : Amazon.com : Automotive

Meguiar's Water Magnet Drying Towel : Amazon.com : Automotive

Amazon.com: Pinnacle 5 Gallon Wash Bucket Combo: Automotive

Amazon.com: Meguiar's Microfiber Wash Mitt: Automotive



How many wash mitts do I need per wash? I am ordering two, one for the top half and one for the bottom of the car.



I want to get a foam cannon, but I need one that would work with a standard residential hose.



What brand of foam cannon should I get that would work with a residential hose and what kind of foam goes in it?





Thanks!
