    Newb startup (help please)

    Hey everybody just starting out not to long ago and creating a list of what I would like to purchase to begin detailing other people cars. So here is what I have and then what I think I need.
    What I have:
    Mothers carnauba wax cleaner (I believe)
    Invisible glass
    Turtle wax super protectant (I actually like it, not greasy but cleans and protects well)
    Turtle wax upholstery cleaner
    Stoner trim shine
    Mothers clay kit
    Shop vac
    Sheep wool mitt (I believe it's sheep)
    Mothers aluminum polish
    Turtle wax chrome polish with rust remover
    I do have good car wash but can't remember the brand at this point and time. And I do use the two bucket method as we'll.

    What I'm looking at purchasing:
    GG 6 inch da polisher
    GG polish kit (includes polishes 1 threw 4)
    GG best of show wax
    GG paint prep (35 oz)
    Lake country 5.5 inch pads (orange, white, green, gray, red, blue)
    5 in. Backing plate
    GG heavy duty wheel cleaner
    GG bug and smudge remover
    Edgeless micro towels (6 pack)
    Waffle weave micro towel
    303 aero space protectant and cleaner
    GG carpet cleaner 35oz
    Various brushes
    Tire dressing (undecided)

    I know it's a lot of GG but I'm not sure which brands are good and bad. And advice/constructive criticism or any changes you believe I should make would be greatly appreciated.
    Helpful tips for newbs are appreciated as we'll.
    Thanks in advance,
    Tyler

    What I have:
    Mothers carnauba wax cleaner (I believe)
    Invisible glassrinseless wash diluted can work here
    Turtle wax super protectant (I actually like it, not greasy but cleans and protects well)
    Turtle wax upholstery cleaner
    Stoner trim shine megs hyper dressing can be used here and many other uses, also very dilutable. a gallon will last you a whileeeee.
    Mothers clay kit if youre getting a da, go for a Nanoskin AS-003 AutoScrub 6" Medium Grade Foam Pad for DA Polisher.. very newbie friendly and will last you longer than original clay.
    Shop vac
    Sheep wool mitt i would get a Microfiber Chenille mitt instead. (I believe it's sheep)
    Mothers aluminum polish
    Turtle wax chrome polish with rust remover
    I do have good car wash but can't remember the brand at this point and time. And I do use the two bucket method as we'll.
    look into rinseless washes instead. highly dilutable and has many other uses.

    GG best of show wax
    GG paint prep (35 oz)
    Lake country 5.5 inch pads (orange, white, green, gray, red, blue)
    5 in. Backing plate
    GG heavy duty wheel cleaner all purpose cleaner will work here and in many other uses
    GG bug and smudge remover
    Edgeless micro towels (6 pack)
