Tett, almost forgot, I purchased the pro kit which includes the polish, pad, and micro fiber cloth. Their pad setup is great because you can just flip back and forth on the fly and not have to worry about different compound contamination. You will have to wet sand up to 1500 grit (preferably 2000 grit) as it is not as aggressive as 3m rubbing compound. The good thing about using the finer grits of paper is that when you apply the System One, you will get a nice shine almost immediately and not have to work the buffer as much.
