Ok folks, this is what i will be heading home to in a couple weeks. I am going to be getting the XMT kit with the PC and pads. My question is what else I should get. A little more info: the driver side rear pillar is really swirled badly, not scratched so I figure XMT3 or 4, if need be, will get it out. Otherwise XMT 2 and XMT1 to cut the hazing and such. Ill also be getting a clay bar kit. The car is garaged atm and has only been outside 4 times since I left about 4 months ago. Any suggestions would be great. Car was washed and cleaned well before I left. Btw the pics are when it was dirty about 3 weeks before i left. Any suggestions would be great thanks. And no i cant get better pics cause its 2.5k miles away. Later

Id actually get some Menzerna polish instead of XMT. Either SIP and 106FF or Intensive polish and 106FF. Then Id get LC pads, white and orange. And gray if you like applying LSP's via machine, but I apply mine by hand.

As for 6.5" LC CCS vs. 5.5" low profile- I think 6.5" is too big for the PC. So Id favor the 5.5" low profile LC pads. 5.5 inch Dual Action Pad Combo (http://www.autogeek.net/55induacpadc.html)

Menz hmmmm, well then how about the menz intensive shine kit with the pc. Comes with the intesive polish and Final polish. As for pads, the 5.5 combo u linked looks good. Thanks. One moe question, In the last pic, u can see where the wiperfluid has drained down the hood. Any way to prevent this staining/residue with a sealent or wax?

I havent used Final Polish, so I cant comment on how it makes the paint look. However, I can tell you that you'll be wowed after using 106FF.

Wax/ sealant will help protect that paint. How much itll protect from washer fluid Im not sure. I actually dont use washer fluid at all on my car.
