Hi Ryan,
DavidB, the owner of Autopia.org, has rights to the Sonus brand here and sells products under the label. I believe it's otherwise a German brand. Autopia does hype a lot of products, but it's not all unwarranted. It's less the product, but the technique you use.
I have not tried his entire line, but things that I have tried are very good. His SFX-3 polish (finest of the three) is a great finishing polish and is easy to use with a Porter Cable. I also have his green SFX Ultrafine clay, which is probably the least abrasive clay I have tried. It's great for mid year clean ups where you don't need much bite.
I wouldn't hesistate to try all of his products, but there are more than adequate substitues on the market too. There are so many good products on the market that you have to find what you like to use best. The other thing to keep in mind is that no one brand has a complete line of products. Sonus doesn't have a wax or sealant. Zaino is missing some misc. items like a wheel cleaner (though you can just use car wash shampoo). Not a huge fan of Meguiar's, but you still get great results with their products.
You could always try Detailer's Paradise's Starter bundle. It has microfiber towels, wash mitt, shampoo, and a lot of little items that are helpful. It doesn't have a real swirl mark remover or pure polish, so you may have to buy that on the side.
A lot of this also depends on how much effort you are willing to put into this. How often to rewax, how much polishing you want to do, etc.
