Anyone able to walk me thur a detail?

I just brought a bunch of stuff to clean my car with. Mainly I want to know what to use first then followed by what.

I got the following from Detailed Image (FAST SHIPPING):

http://www.detailedimage.com/DI-Pack...rter-Kit-P146/

For the detailing products I got from Chemical Guys:

I was surprise how much stuff I got from DI. CRAZY MUCH! lol

I read somewhat about different pads and stuff but can anyone give me a quick run through of what the color means and do?

Main thing is do I have everything to detail my car from CG to tackle various problems?

What steps should apply the products from Chemical Guys in?

Any help is appreciated, Thanks for reading.

Where's the polish, or was that part of the PC advanced kit package?

Below is taken from DI's website...same link that you posted above!

We have provided you with an outstanding combination of pads in this package to maximize virtually every kind of detailing product. Use the Yellow Cutting Pad to restore neglected paint or spot treat deeper imperfections. The Orange Light Cutting Pad is great for vehicles that have not been recently polished with light to medium imperfections. The White Polishing Pad is perfect for removing very light imperfections and leaving the paint very smooth. Use the Black Finishing Pad to apply a glaze for optimal gloss. Apply your favorite sealant or wax with the Blue Fine Finishing Pad.

Cool!

Thanks. I got one of those virtual bond from CG as a glaze which I applied before the sealant yea?

So if I detail my car for the first time I would use only probably white, black and blue?

Is there a particular speed I should work the PC at?

Thanks,
John
