-you don't need the xmt pad conditioner or pad cleaner. Prime the pad with polish for better results. Use this DP Polishing Pad Rejuvenator was created to provide detailers with a fast and effective way to clean pads without soapy residue or foamy degreasers. (http://www.autogeek.net/dp730.html) to clean pads and wax applicators. You can even get dawn power disolve.

-Get a menzerna polish also(106FA) to finish. Some soft paints don't finish well with 205.

-I would stick with the flat LC pads over the CCS. No need for both and get 2-3 of each.

What DA polisher do you have?

Thanks for the feedback guys but I was too late and forgot to put my order before the sale ended. I got caught up reading the forums and didn't realize the time. Man I got at least tons of tabs open and lost track of everything.

Buckskincolt - I haven't use the 105/205 combo before but I heard good things about them so I decided to put it in my order since they seem price like a good price with the discount.

The Gtechniq C4 is pretty expensive compared PB trim restorer.

I have a PC7427 XP DA polisher I picked up two weeks ago. Didn't get it from AG though since I've only discovered it recently.

Keep your order handy, tweak it and there will be another sale to place your order!

I'll think I replace the 205 with the menzerna polish 106FA suggested by loudog2. Not sure if my BMW 328i have soft or hard paint.

I've also added
Detailer's Total Interior Cleaner 4 oz. Sample
Detailer's Polishing Pad Rejuvenator

Any other accessories or alternatives you guys think I should pick up?
