Hello, I am new to the detailing world and have a G110V2 that I've never used (purchased it roughly 2 years ago). I've decided to put my car up for sale and would like to clean it to the best of my ability without dropping it off at a detailing shop. Next to me I have the following:

Meguiar's:
Ultimate Compound
Ultimate Polish
ColorX
Ultimate Wax (Liquid and Paste)
Quik Detailer
Quik Wax
Wax & Wax Anywhere
Endurance Tire Gel
6 x Soft Buff 4" Black Pads
2 x Soft Buff 4" Yellow Pads
1 x Soft Buff 7" Yellow Pad

Mothers Clay Bar Kit

I am planning on purchasing the following:
Sonax Full Effect
Speed Master Jr.
Optimum Power Clean - 128 oz.
303 Multi Surface Cleaner
303 Aerospace Protectant
LC 5" Backing Plate
LC 5.5" Flat Pads - 3 x Orange, 3 x White

I do have a few questions before I get started however.

1. Does it matter that the items that I already have are 2 years old? Can products go bad?
2. Do I need to purchase 303 cleaner when I'm purchasing OPC?
3. Do I have the correct LC pads?
4. Anything missing off of the list that I should purchase?

Thanks in advance for the help!

You can get decent results with the polishes. Not great but decent

If the polishes have been stored reasonably, you should be ok.

Optimum is a good general surface cleaner so not sure why you think you need the multi-surface one.

I would also get some blue painters tape to protect trim when polishes.

Looks good from here. The Ultimate line with those pads have you in good shape to handle a lot of situations.

1.Shake well and inspect
2.No,OPC will do the job. On neglected interiors dillute 3:1 or so and is good at engine cleaning,rubber and lightly soiled carpet or matts
3. Yes
4. If your existing products are indeed bad why not get a AIO. Since you are selling the car it might just do the trick and it may save you some work.

Products can crystallization after a year they get real watery on the bottom and have a funky smell.

Really appreciate the great replies here.

Will be sure to check out some AIOs.

I'm mainly looking to find the balance between getting my car to look great while minimizing the time spent doing so. I'd be happy with 80% correction.
