Milgore? Never heard of it... Maybe I'm just living under a rock though...
Nattys-- LOVE IT! Red's costly, and until you are pretty familiar with what you are doing, it can wait. Blue is great. I'd also go pick up some NXT 2.0 for synthetic protection. Some prefer the look it gives, too. (if not NXT, #21 from Meguiars or PoorBoys EX-P both work wonders)
Pads: Lets assume Meguiars pads: Get a cutting pad, at least 2 polishing pads (pref. 3), and at least 1 finishing pad (pref 2). This means you could do the ADS 6-pack pad special.
APC: I'd go for Meguiars APC+. Its got fabric softeners in it so you can use it for spot cleaning or cleaning the whole interior, plus its freaking amazing at tires, rims, engines, etc. Have 2 bottles for the different dilutions.
MF's: The Bulk ADS MF's are great, especially for a budget and for starting off. FYI.
Wash mitt: If you can find one, get a SM Arnold Mitt. really, any lambs wool mitt seems to do better IMO... But you could also get cotton chenille or MF if you wanted-- JUST MAKE SURE YOU DO A QUALITY CHECK! WallyHell sells a MF sponge and mitt, but they both suck... so be careful what you buy.
Clay: I'd get the 200g bar in the black tub (blue bar, black tub) from ADS.
QD: Get a gallon of Last touch for claying (because its cheap) and a gallon of #34 Final Inspection for *real* QD'ing. Its more costly, but well worth it IMO.
Stoners Glass Cleaner: Great choice. That's what most of us here use.
OTHER THINGS:
-- Get a gallon and a sprayer of HyperDressing. You'll find 45928787095827430597245 uses for it... Its pretty much amazing...
--get 2 5-gallon buckets, but then also get 2 grit Guards from ADS
--You forgot the wash soap! I'd either get Gold Class (for availibility) or Super Soap (also from ADS)
--Get 2-3 Waffle Weave MF's from ADS
--you might want a few various brushes for tires, seats, etc...
--FYI: My machine is a Porter Cable 7424... Some have the G100 (same thing but rebranded). I guess if I had to get a D/A again, I'd either get the same one I have or get the G110. That said, you might look into a D/A Polisher Promotion Pack Special from Rick at ADS.
--Get some Murphy's Oil Soap. It's availible at most home improvement stores. Use it to clean your pads. Works like a champ.
--Read the sticky at the top of the page.
Good luck! Let us know if you have any more Q's.
