can anyone point me in the best direction for paint correction and polishing products...
about to buy a rotary polisher and need to get the right stuff..

Hi mate.  If you have never used a rotary before i suggest you get a scrap panel and practice as you can cause serious damage to your paint if done incorrectly.
It may help to get a pdg also.
Compounds/polishes all depend on the severity of defects and level of correction required.
Heavy swirls and scratches id use 3m fast cut and matching pad, but again if used wrong this can really ruin your paint.
You would be best to start with softest combo first and work your way up.
Start with 3m ultra fine and a blue 3m pad then up to extra fine with yellow pad if you dont see results.
The megs 105/205 are also very good user with hexlogic pads.
Practice practice practice.
Id also suggest an ipa wipe down inbetween stages to fully see level of correction you are getting and to make sure you are correcting not hiding defects.

Any more info just ask pal.

Before even contemplating  using any sort of abrasive cutting compounds, I would get the Paint thickness measured 1st.
