good kit?

I'm about to buy a porter cable. I found this kit online.... http://autogeek.net/hk7424.html

Is this everything I would need? Is there a better kit available?

Looks like a good kit to me. You may want to look at whats available at www.properautocare.com. They have some good kits too!

I would look into buying the machine separately and getting the Propel pads from ExcelDetail. Those pads are the cheapest and they work as good as any.

Good kit. I purchased the same one and have been very happy. You may need more pads though.

You might want to buy the Propel pads ASAP as they are increasing their pad prices next month due to manufacturing costs increase.

I'd get either the AutoGeek or CMA kits and then get the 4" setup too.

Much as I like doing business with TOL, their kit has a) terry bonnets, no use I can think of and b) 7.5" pads, too big for effective use with the PC in my experience.

Whichever way you go, get the 4" pads- many people find that paint corrrection with the PC and larger pads just doesn't happen (at least in a reasonable amount of time).
