My thoughts are that half of the pads that are included in this kit will see little to no use.

2 Yellow Cutting Foam Pads 6.5"
1 Gray Finishing Foam Pad 6.5"
1 Blue Finessing Foam Pad 6.5”
2 Cobra Microfiber Bonnets 6”
1 Lambswool Leveling Pad

Just get 2 orange and 2 white Lake County pads. I think most of the pads above are made by LC.

Also check your local lowes as some where clearing out the PC 7336 (same as 7424, just different counter weight) for $40-60 a while back. If you are only going to detail your cars and maybe for a friend here and there...don't get the lifetime warranty model. You don't hear of too many PCs breaking on any of the detail forums.

Menzerna polishes IP and FPII are very nice but a little pricey.

Optimum polishes OC and OP and nice for the price.

I use zaino on our car and for all of my customers. The new ZAIO and Clear Seal are outstanding products. Clear Seal is a product that you apply and watch it "disappear" into the paint in less then 30 mins. No buffing required.
