I personally would shop at Autopia Car Care because you can use the coupon code "AUTORED" and get 20% off. They have a point system as well so that you can collect points and eventually get more things. I loved ordering through them and they give decent freebies to try. I personally bought the Griot's DA Polisher with the extended cord because of the lifetime warranty on it. I love it a lot!

I have the Porter Cable and it will do a fine job for you. I'm sure Rupes is a better polisher. I think the Torq shown in the link would get you going. You have some small bottles of polish to sample and see what works for the condition of the paint on your car.

IMHO you should get the parts separately. Get the PC7424 (I have it and it came with the wrench, counter weight and backing plate), a couple of cutting pads, a couple of polishing pads, a cutting polish (like Meguires 105 or the Menzerna equivalent) a finishing polish (like Meguires 205 or Menzerna equivalent) and your favorite polish/wax. That should save some money. I get my microfiber cloths at Costco. For polish I am a HUGE fan of Zaino (www.zainobros.com). It goes on and off very easily and, more importantly, LASTS! With a few coats on I have driven through rain and just needed to use my California Duster and some quick detailer to get the car clean (granted I didn't drive through muddy conditions). I keep trying new products but keep returning to Zaino.
I have NO financial interest in Zaino I just like it that much! |

So I'm broke from all the parts I've been getting so for the time being I'll have to settle for the Harbor Freight DA POLISHER on sale for $49 but I will use the Chemical Guy products. If the polisher works for now I'll use until it falls apart and probably get the Torx later.
