Cheapest I can get a PC and everything needed for?

I am on a really tight budget and I just cant take the swirls the bodyshop left all over my Camaro anymore just from repainting a bumper. I was going to get the http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-sfxpol-kit.html kit but do I really need that much to take the swirls out? I think it came out to be 220.00 shipped for everything and I cant really aford that. Whats the cheapest I can get out the door to repair wool pad swirls?

The cheapest way to get a PC is to get one from your local Lowes. There's a thread somewhere that has a Home Depot 20% off coupon which lowes will honor. (some have had trouble using this copied coupon, but several others and myself managed to use it). I ended up paying just a little over $90 after taxes, but either way it's listed at $109 regardless (cheaper than anywhere online). After that you'd just need some pads, a backing plate, and a polish/compound of your choice. I bought my backing plate and 3 pads for $53 after shipping @ exceldetail. So a similar setup should run you roughly $143-170.

search for the Home Depot 20%Coupon then use it at Lowes thats the best price youll get for the pc..then you need sonus 6 backing plate then get at least two of sfx1 and two of sfx2 ..the blue is for sealnt/wax so you can do that by hand...also we need to know what type of vehicle make,model,year, and color....also pic are very helpful and is this a isolated area or all over....although i have not seen your vehicle there is a limit to what a pc can do....good luck

best place price wise for a PC package is tropicare. You get the PC (7336), 3 pads, and a 6" flex backing plate for $149. Their new pads are great too! They have the 'waffled' style edges ala the P2 pads.

I'm pretty sure the coupon expires 4/30/06, so yeah it should still be good.
