I purchased a Porter Cable polisher. Any suggestions on what brand polish,compound, wax to try out?

I'm leaning towards trying Adams 2 step paint correction.

I've used Adams, was not impressed.

Go to Autogeek and pick up a few 5.5" pads. The 6.5" pads overpower the machine. An orange (for heavy), a few whites (for polishing and wax), and a grey/blue (for wax or sealant).

I like Menzerna and Optimum. I havent kept up with modern (ie: in the last 2yrs) products, so there may be other brands that are better now, but Menzerna and Optimum are still what I use.

I went with Meguiars professional M105 compound and M205 Polish. Haven't decided on pads, I've seen a lot of people saying the hex logic pads are the way to go. Hex logic orange and hex logic white.

So why did you ask for suggestions, receive suggestions from a retired professional detailer, and go buy something totally different?

No I ask for suggestions on multiple forums, guys I know, and did a ton of youtube research. I ordered my stuff on black Friday during Amazon's flash sales, so his advice is noted, but late.

M105 and M205 is also really good, you'll be happy.

^ Completely agree. I use M105/M205 on my car and I've been happy with the results. For the money, I think they're as good as you'll get.

Any product recommendations for removing water spots from windows and chrome plated trim?

I've used 0000 steel wool in the past for tough and old water spots on windows.

I start my vacation end of next week. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures of how this turns out.
