Paint Correction:
Delfsko Paint Gauge - measures the remianing thickness of the paint (paint + clear coat) so you know where to be careful when polishing. ($500)
3m Sun Gun - lighting system to see swirls and defects ($400)
Metabo - rotary polishing machine ($300)

Stay away for now Hou. Get familiar with the basics of detailing and the use of an orbital. Once you get very comfortable with this stage, I would then look into the above products.

right now, i have a bunch of paint chips in the front from road debris and rocks and stuff. I am giving my car to a local body shop in December or January to install of mtech front, rear and spolier and am going to have them fix it up. SO far, i just clay once a year and polish once a year and wax everytime I was the car.
