For use with a typical DA buffer you'll want the correct backing plate to start (it's pretty important, actually) so pick up Meguiar's part number W67DA. You'll also want a two pack of DMC5 cutting discs and DMF5 finishing discs, then a 16 oz bottle each of D300 DA Microfiber Compound and D301 DA Microfiber Finishing Wax. A good pad brush is critical as cleaning the pads after every single pass is critical And yes, just a 16 oz bottle of each is more than sufficient to correct your own car a few times - a very small amount of product goes a very, very long way.
Thanks Mike! Gonna pick up a pack from autogeek. You have pointed me in the right direction every year, can't wait to get the xfire swirl free again. Also interested to see what the new smells are like lol, they are always so good.

Not to hijack the thread further but how long should it take to do the whole process? I'm getting a bit quicker but it is still basically a full day job with wash, clay, polish and wax. Maybe I am just overdoing it but I know I could be doing something better / more efficiently.
