I would like a couple suggestions on what car care/detailing kits I should get. I am also looking for kits that offer a good range of polishes to remove scratches, oxidation, swirls, etc (PC pads would be great too)...

All of those have kits.
If you already have a backing plate exceldetail has the cheapest pads at a good quality. Otherwise any kit incl. a BP will save you money.
If you`re looking for paint protection look for a kit with microfiber towels.
As far as polishes go, you`ll probably just need two MAYBE three. one medium abrasive (like 3M RC, Megs DACP or PB SSR2.5) and one light abrasive. If you run into some heavier stuff then you`ll need a heavy abrasive. Two will really start you off nice.
Each site will have a kit/products that will suit your needs quite nicely. It all DEPENDS on what you`re looking for.
How many cars? What condition of paint? Are you going for durability or looks? What`s your budget?
You`ll save money by addressing these questions and searching the forums.
Check out the ones from Sonus, Pinnacle, 4*, Poorboys, or Adams. If they are not listed as "packages" on the site just call the customer service and they`ll help you out.

The best kit right now is Victoria Wax`s kit. Comes with a crap load of stuff for 99 bucks.
