Default Polishing Parts....Did I go overboard?

I just got a set of Kooks with a catted Y to go along with my GMMG. Like several others idiots on this board, I want to polish my entire exhaust system, which will never be seen. I'm also going to polish my calipers and possibly the inside of my wheels. I'm about to buy a bunch of stuff from Eastwood and I want to know if I'm going overboard. Here's my list of items:

13103- Wheel smoothing kit which comes with some buffs, an arbor and 80/220/320 grit

13058 - a couple of 8" buff wheels to use with White Rouge or the grit

11926- 3 pack of Tripoli

11927 - 3 pack of White Rouge

13231 - 8" buff wheel treated ventilated

Did I buy just enough or way too much to do my exhaust and calipers?
Joshua, if you're out there, please help me out. Thanks

Yeah, figured I was getting a little out of hand. I'm sure I'll be regretting it when I'm half-way done.

I know I'm probably polishing way too much, but did I BUY way too much stuff for what I'm polishing? I don't want to waste my time AND money.

You can never go overboard! At least your exhaust is somewhat visible. This is what I did.

Hey Joshua/SpdFrk, do you think the items listed in my original posting are overkill or good enough to do the full exhaust, calipers and possibly wheels?

Kit 13107 was basically all I used and some of these help also 13289 on the headers.
