Griots is the best bang for your $$$$$. Get the Meguiars Microfiber kit with it.

In my opinion, this is the best kit for a beginner:

You will also need the proper stuff to go along with it - car wash soap, buckets, grit guards, wash mitts, microfiber towels, clay bar kit, etc.

For a novice with some up to moderate defects, this kit will serve you well.

The MF kit will make you feel like a "paint god" with ~ 10 min of reading and watching a video if you have never done paint correction before.

ADS included a useful LSP in the kit with the M21. This is the short fall of the MF kit that ADS fixed ( with the included pad for it ).

The brush will work ,but if you can get a compressor for MF pad cleaning between sections, this will work best. Any small compressor with an air nozzle will work ( trim nailer, etc ).
Just keep the OPM on the DA low ( speed 1 or 2 ) so you don't fling the MF pad off if you run the DA when blowing it off.
I have accidentally left the speed at 6 on my Flex on when I went to clean a MF pad after using on the 2nd section ( it was new and just primed ).
When it took off into the air, my heart dropped, and then I got real mad at myself. ROI on that MF pad was for crap, into the trash, get another new one out. Don't be like me !!
