Default Just ordered some new stuff... (Detailing)

Just ordered some more products for my "out of home business of detailing". I am located in Northern Illinios around the Gurnee area. I'm learning to finess my detailing abilities so if your in the area and want a good deal on detailing inside, outside, or both... let me know cuz I'd love to help out a fellow f-body and further my detailing abilities!

I just ordered the following:

Porter Cable 7424 Machine Polisher
Flexible, 6 inch, hook-and-loop backing plate
Two 4 oz. bars of BLACKFIRE PolyClay
16 oz. of BLACKFIRE Clay Lubricant
Two Microfiber Cloths
16 oz. Menzerna Final Polish II
One Hi-Gloss, 6 inch, Orange Power Pad
Two Hi-Gloss, 6 inch, White Polishing Pads
A Microfiber Wipe Cloth
16 oz. Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze
One Hi-Gloss, 6 inch, Black Glazing/Finessing Pad
A Microfiber Wipe Cloth for buffing Finishing Touch residues
16 oz. Menzerna FMJ Paint Sealant
One Hi-Gloss, Red, Concours Finishing Pad
One Microfiber Perfect Shine Buffing Cloth
16 oz. Menzerna High Gloss Acrylic Sealant.
16 oz. Menzerna Auto Shampoo
Three Microfiber Applicator Pads

What do u think about this start? Anything else you think I might need to better enhance this?

P.S. If u want the car detailed please PM me.

Thanks for all your help and advice so far on the "how to's" of detailing and the help in getting me off on the right track!

I checked around alot! Put together a list I thought was fairly good and then shopped around for the bext prices. I ended up ordering from 5+ places!

I am going to check into my list again and possible go out and get that abrasive polish u mentioned... I guess if you think about it... you can never have to much to make your car purty and you can only find better if u try new stuff!

Thanks again everyone and like stated before... if your up north in IL or south in WI, hit me up with a PM and ill hook ya up and make your car sparkle... Ill even get some of those ANNOYING sratches out that we all hate!
