Kev, The most widely used PC is the PC 7424 for it's ease of use. The kit is a bit pricey, but much cheaper than trying to piece together a set. It comes with everything you need for each stage of waxing and a detailing guide on how to use it. From what I've read, the PC is dummy-proof. With a dark colored car you should top it with something to add more depth, shine and durability. P21S is very good. I've also heard great things about Natty's Blue really bringing out the metallic in dark colors. HTH

after this should i be done or should i top it off with S21..
Also if i get the orbital because im scared of fing up my paint what kind pad should i get for it...
thanks for the help guys.
As I'm not familar with the PC's, yet, I can't answer the first question, but I'd just step up and get the PC, but shop around on some of the other car care sites. This looks to be the best way to get everything you need to start off with right. I gave this some thought and since you need to apply AIO and SG thin, just put those products into a good spray bottle, wet the pad with some quick detailer and one spray should be more than enough to a section at a time 
www.superiorcarcare.com
http://www.premiumautocare.com/ http://www.topoftheline.com/
http://www.properautocare.com/ http://www.autogeek.net/carwax.html http://store.bettercarcare.com/p21-127.html
Now as far as your plans for your car next, its exactly what I'd do to your ride, except I'd apply 2 coats of SG to it. Its a general concensis that the second coat of SG really "pops". So warm the garage up, do your claying, AIO and first coat of SG and then come back the next day as your supposed to wait 8-12 hrs inbetween coats of SG  Then apply that second coat of SG and then "top" it with the P21S. BTW, its a pretty well know fact over on autopia.org that the S100 is exactly the same as P21S but its exactly half the price. I'm only telling you this for next time Kev and to other know about this as well S100 can be bought at any Harly-Davison dealership and its a good seller there as well.
Hey Kev, when you do your car with the above mentioned steps, make sure we see the pics

Wash
Clay
AIO - is a cleaner so it will really whiten it up if it's not already
Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection
Natty's Wax
White is hard, so to make it look even whiter, focus on getting the black parts of the car clean and black - tires, wheel wells, mouldings, etc. The blacker they are, the more contrast and the whiter your car appears to be.

IMO white is all about prep, even more so than any other color. I agree with Pete, a good clay barring, followed up with Klasse AIO and then a good "topper" of your choice
