Default Opinion about to buy

Hey guys, im about to buy some stuff and wanted to know if i can get a discount or if you guys can hook me up. Products will be used on my and my brother's audis. Here are the products.

2x Swissvax Applicator Pad
2x Uber Yellow Wax Applicator Pad
1Z Einszett Extra Swirl Remover
Uber PC KIT with Menzerna Polishes and Einszett Glanz this includes:
1 - Porter Cable 7424 Variable Speed Polisher
1 - Backing plate for PC
1 - 32 oz. Menzerna Super Intensive Polish
1 - 32 oz. Menzerna Nano Polish PO 106 FA
1 - Einszett Glanz (for your last step)

Now i'm buying this whole kit to solve 3 main issues with my car. 1) swirls, lots of swirls 2)yearly wax 3) detailing before car meet. I really wana get the swirl marks out of the car BADDDDD and just wana get the deep deep paint look. You guys think this kit will do it? If you have suggestions on something else please comment.

orbital polisher instead of the Porter Cable. Do a little research (you tube videos) and you will understand why.

Adding layers isn't the answer if the paint needs correction. Sometimes it takes a machine to get to the "good" paint, your poor arms will thank you (plus you save on taking a bunch of Ibuprofin at the end of the day)when you get the PC or Flex.

The mechanical action of embedded abrasive particles in the polish really need the help of a PC or Flex, your arm can't sustain the speed or torque needed for proper polishing.

Wax can be done by hand and in fact will be easier after you machine polish the paint.
