okay so if you are willing to start fresh go with this set up.

Clay bar for both cars would be a great start.

Porter Cable
6 inch counterweight
velcro backing plate
Lake Country: orange pad for Menzerna SIP (2 pads one for each car)
white pad for Menzerna po85 rd (2 pads one for each car)
black or blue pad for the final step (menzerna fmj would be the sealant)

Are the pads reusable or should I buy a bunch. Also is there any special ways to apply any of these products?

they are reusable.

Is there any special way of applying any of these products and so I get two clay bars or just one. I appreciate your help.

sorry for the delay for some reason I'm not linked to this thread.

get one clay bar and cut it into 3-4 pieces. As the piece gets dirty move on to the next clean piece. Depending on how bad the car is you should be able to get 1-2 uses out of each piece.

Nothing really special about the application.

Here are Menzerna products in action with the PC:
