Hard to say specifically b/c everyones definition of very minor defects is going to vary. What might be minor to you, might be major to someone else.

Assuming all things are relative and you want to have all the right products to do a number of levels of correction the complete DA kit would be the way to go:

Adam's Complete Dual-Action Car Polisher Kit

Another option would be to simply pick up the White Pad, Fine machine polish, some towels and detail spray then just look for the PC elsewhere by itself... again though thats not going to give you a whole lot of correcting ability as its mainly a finishing/final polishing step.

Either route you're gonna want to start with clay obviously.

The focus pads on the drill are really only intended for spot correction and headlight restoration. Because it functions like a rotary YOU WILL HAVE HOLORGRAMS after using that setup so its not the route to go for correcting swirls over the entire surface of your car.
