Main things to get are
Abralon pads which are the main ones used, there are also Siaair pads. Typically in these grits 500,1000,2000, and 4000. Also the three main scotchbrite pads Burgandy, Gray and Green come in handy and it never hurts to have a good selection of wet/dry sandpaper.
Note: abralon/Siaair pads use the FEPA P-scale for grits, Most paper uses the US Ansi/Cami scale. But paper using the P-scale is now available also.
As for polishes there's all kinds and it depends on what you doing and the ball. Storm and Ebonite Powerhouse and Brunswick products are the main ones used.
Powerhouse Factory Finish, Brunswick Royal Compound and Shine, Storm Step-2 are regularly used for O.O.B. (Out of Box) surfaces
Powerhouse Clean'N Dull is one of the best deep cleaning ball cleaners for at home on the spinner.
