    Very first detail

    Hello, first time posting so please be gentle. I will try to keep this short so here goes.
    I have a PC xp (new used it once) and my wife just gave me a Flex 3401 for my birthday (today). These are the products I have to begin my project which is a 2010 Mustang GT Burgundy ( same color as the one in the video).
    citrus wash, 2 bucket wash setup, Gilmore foam gun, Nanoskin auto scrub, Megs 105 & 205, Megs microfiber system 5.5 inch, blackfire SRC compound & finishing polish, Menzerna PF4500, Hexlogic pads 2 each, yellow orange white green blue red and black. Lake country 5.5inch flat 2each white, black, red and one orange. 6.5 inch pads that came with flex pkg. (gosh I love my wife). orange white and black. To top it all off I have the Blackfire wet diamond and a can of Chem. guys 50/50.

    so if anyone can advise me of something else I may need please do tell and any and all tips are welcomed. oh I also ordered the 4 3/8 inch flex backing plate as soon as I got the flex(what a woman).

    Eventually you'll want some more pads, but your definitely set for products. All those are great. BFWD with CG 50/50 will look outstanding.

    if you don't have one yet, get a 3.5" LC backing plate and some red or blue 4" LC pads for your pC, these are great for applying BFWD and 50/50 or any other lsp's run at about #2.

    Just add some food and music. Otherwise... it sounds like you know what you're doing.
