Getting a PC, couple questions

[Rsurfer]

hey thanks for the quick reply! yeah im pretty excited! its like a whole new world opened up. im familiar with the normal wash, clay, wax, but i cant wait to take it to the next level. I have a black 2000 pontiac grand prix. I had it repainted summer of 07 and have kept up on it pretty good, so the paint isnt bad. just swirls/ webs from normal wash n dry, and a few light scratches.

My plan is:
Wash
Dry
Clay
Try ssr1 w/ white pad, but if needed go to ssr 2.5 w/ orange pad, followed by ssr1 w/ white
Black Hole Glaze w/ gray
Sealant w/ blue (2 coats)
Natty's Blue by hand, a day or 2 after sealant

So the 5" backing plate would be a better choice? I want to use the pads I got in the kit for now, and I just want to make sure there wont be an issues with the smaller backing plate when using the 6.5" pads, especially on the softer pads, I dont know if there would be issues with uneven pressure or something like that. Thanks again!

Another cool thing is my boss is letting me use the shop I work at, so I'll have tons of overhead flourescent lighting that shows pretty much anything on the paint. Will have a halogen handy though for closer inspections.

If ssr1 and a white pad doesn't work move up to 2.5 and a white, not orange. If that combo doesn't work then move up to an orange pad.

thanks for your help everyone! The rest of my stuff will be here tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to get at it Saturday, as its supposed to rain here this week.
