I personally like the Flex better, but I do use the PC still with the 4inch pads on bumpers and small areas. The top 2 brands of polishes ar menzerna and megs. Menzerna makes polishes for wolfgang(Autogeek), so they are good also. 3-4 of each of the LC pads is a good start. As for microfiber, get drying towel(guzzler), wax/polish removal towels(indigo's, white edgeless, 530's), buffing/qd towels(gold plush, jr's, 530's, shamrock), glass cleaning and cheapies for rims/interior.

No! Not all wolfgang is made by menzerna. Just some polishes. Wolfgang sealant is a great product. This kit is something you need. Except the glaze, no need for that.
Menzerna polishes for ceramic clear coat paint, Flex buffer, Nano polish, super intensive, Lake Country pads, Show car kit (http://autogeek.net/menzerna-flex-xc3401-ceramic-show-car-kit.html)

When polishing use the least agressive method first. Then bump it up if needed. Like with my car, it's a garage kept weekend warrior. Some fine swirls are easily removed with some 85RD and a gray LC pad.

If swirls are bad you can try some SIP on a white pad first. If that doesn't work go to the orange pad. If that fails, then some megs M105 on a white or purple foamed wool pad would be next. After the agressive polish, move to a mid polish to remove the marring. Someting like menzerna 106FA or M205. But, it all depends on what you first did.
