Ok so based on y'alls comments I should do the 6 pack like this:

1 Orange
2 Grey
3 White

I really only need the orange for the white truck and I can use the rest on my Camaro and my fathers 08 Silverado.

I know I can always order more but to get me started I think that's the right, mixture.

Remember that polishing is easy and just common sense.

Always work a small area at a time, only about 2 ft by 2 ft so you can concentrate on your work.
Move SLOW! some folks move the polisher way to fast over the paint and they don't allow the polisher to get the work done.
Use SLOW, overlapping motions. (Up and down then side to side)
Keep your pad level.
Never dry buff! You need to work the polish so you get results but stop when the polish goes clear, before it dries.
Keep the cord over your shoulder and away from your paint to avoid scratching your paint.
ALWAYS use the correct pad, polish and speed combinations.
When removing defects, use a little pressure. Not enough to bog down the machine, just enough so you can remove the defects.
Never lift the polisher off the paint while it is turned on.
Happy detailing!

I wish I would have seen this earlier. I would always recommend more of the heavy polishing pads. When you are heavy polishing you are removing more material and contaminating the pad at a much higher rate, thus the need to switch to a fresh pad more often. You should be fine, but I would have went 2, 2, and 2.

Ok I have a question. Do you apply a final wax product after the 202 like a Meg. NXT or Gold Class wax?

Also, any special instructions on a black paint finish?
