Best Place to Buy a Complete Buffer/Polisher Kit

Hey all, I'm going to break down and get the Porter Cable 7424 Polisher or Ultimate Detailing Machine with all the pads and such and wanted to know if you all had any suggestions where I can get the most complete kit for the best price. I think the general rule is that you should get two of each pad type, backing plate, counterbalance, towels, and polish/cleaner/compound/wax, etc. Best place I've found for the Ultimate looks like:

http://www.pinnaclewax.com/ultimate-...e-pro-kit.html

Not sure about the quality of the Ultimate Detailing Machine or the Pinnacle Wax, so your comments on that would be great.

Any other places I should be looking, really need a one stop shop for all my stuff. Thanks all!

You are on the right track with two of each pad, counterweight, etc. If you would like me to help you custom build the rest of the package please let me know. Let me know about your goals (remove swirls, ease of use, shine, protection, etc.) and I'll do my best to find products that best help you achieve them. We also offer 10% off to all MBWorld members.

FYI - Porter Cable Polisher

I've been meaning to mention that the Porter Cable 7336SP Sander is the same tool as the PC 7224 Polisher except that it comes with a sanding disk. You can unscrew the sanding disk and attach the polishing disk (PN 54475). I only bring this up in case you find something on eBay. Generally the polisher is a bit cheaper than the sander.
