    The last picture is a pad spur and pad reconditioner. The spur / wheels are used with foam and wool pads to clean them. They work better on wool, to loosen the fibers. On both edges there is a cheese grater type metal where you can actually shave down any foam pads you have which either have ripped or have a small tear in them due to getting too close to an emblem or the like. Grab some new pads and BP, get a junk panel from a body shop and practice using the machine.

    Wash
    Clay
    Polish (swirl removal)
    Glaze, AIO or Paint Cleaner (you choose ... one or none)
    Wax or Sealant (or both, wax after the sealant 24 hours after)

    Be sure to get a scrap panel to practice the Dewalt on... it will pay huge dividends later on ... The first use of a rotary could cause damage that will need a repaint. Always keep the machine moving, keep it away from any edges of a panel, away from plastic trim and you'll be ok. Keep the speeds slow at first and finishing or polishing pads will be the most user friendly in the beginning (unless you want to use wool, just practice first )
