"IPA"? Is that something like all-purpose cleaner? Certainly you don't mean India Pale Ale!
Seriously, I'll use something to de-wax the area.
I
do have a DA, I just need to order some 4" pads (I already have the 3" backing plate). Do I need to change the counterweight for that, or will the 5" weight be sufficient?

You mentioned you bought a grit guard, did you get just one? If so you'll want another for the rinse bucket as well.

At the time I was just using one in the rinse bucket, but I've since bought a second one.

That's another thing - right now I'm using a mitt I picked up from a local auto parts store. I'm going to order a couple of name brand ones (everyone seems to like the Incredi-mitt; I'll probably go with that).

I have a brush from Adams that I use solely for the top, so I'm covered there.
