Default Finally bought a PC...Now I need the other stuff

Well I finally bought a PC after thinking I could get swirls out by hand (yeah, I know, you all told me so ). So now I need to get the other stuff since I bought the PC on ebay.

So here is a list of the stuff I am getting, does it look good?

1x Edge 2000 Drive adapter (I assume it works on the 7336)
1x Edge 6" Orange Pad
1x Edge 6" White Pad
1x Edge 6" Blue Pad
1x XMT Pad Care Combo

I had thought about getting THIS package instead, but I wasn't sure that 1 side of a 6" pad was enough to do entire S2000. If it is, then I might go that way. Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the help so far.

I just did a crew cab truck with one side of the pad. All depends on how much build up you have. I did a thorough clay job and it help tremendously. But I also didn't have to do a lot of correction.

But on an S2000 you should not have a problem using just one side of the pad.

So maybe I should save some money and get the Edge kit then.

Anyone else care to comment?

I bought the Edge Dual Action 6 Inch DuraFoam Kit myself. Last friday was the first time using a PC and the Edge pads. I was impressed. They seemed to do a good job. I believe a lot of folks go for these pads because of the 2 sides and the no efforts of keeping the pad centered on the machine. Here is the kit I bought -

I wish the autogeek coupon code for 15% off hadn't expired. The $110 kit looks like the best deal even if it's a little more than I wanted to spend.

I may just get 2 of the 2 sided pads, the adapter, and the pad cleaner. Since that is what I think I am going to need. As long as one side of one pad can do an entire S2000.

I can confirm that this works on the 7336 as that's exactly what I use.

Your pad selection looks fine. You're basically buying everything in the kits sans the MF bonnets and towels. The MF towels in the kit are of high quality but the MF bonnets are almost useless unless you have a wool pad to mount them on.

If you can get what you want and save money without having to buy the kit then I would go that route. One side of the pad can easily do the S2000 and the great thing about these pads is that they have two sides! So you're really getting two pads in one.

This might seem obvious but an important thing to think about is how many layers of sealant/wax you want to apply and if you want to apply different brands. For instance, lets say you wanted to use the white pad to apply Klasse AIO, Klasse SG, and then P21S. Well, that won't work, you need to use a fresh side of the pad everytime you change products. So you'd need a total of two white pads if you wanted to layer those three products on top of each other.
