What do you guys think? Good deal or would i be better off buying the pads seperately as needed?...I think thats a pretty good price

i bought that exact kit before they changed it.



now, you get an additional small backing plate good for the low profile cutting/polishing pads, which can also be used when you invest in some 4`` pads for your porter cable, a very effective tool to remove defects - serious ones that you would normally need a rotary or cyclo for. It still takes a long time, but the 4`` pad gives the PC far more cutting power . . .



its a great kit . . . you will not be dissapointed and there is a significant savings if you price each item on its own . . check to make sure (by calling autogeek directly) that any coupons or discount codes you may have apply to bulk kits . . . sometimes they do not . .

Yeah it seems like a pretty good deal. The only thing i was worried about was that i didnt need that many pads. But i guess i can use the more abrasive ones on my g/f`s car which is begging for some attention. My other option is to purchase the porter cable alone which is on sale for 109.99!!

Also would that kit that i posted be all that i need? Does it come with a counterweight? a large enough backing plate?



Thanks guys/gals

If i decide to get everything seperate, should i get the 5" or 6" backing plate? Are there any advantages to either?
