I know this topic has come up before, but which kit would you buy from http://www.automotivegeek.com/po.html

I want to be able to polish out light scratches and add a coat of wax afterward. I don

All the kits would work for doing what you want, but the Edge kit by far is the most convenient.

This is pretty much what I have and the edge pads work like a charm. I would also go ahead and get your sealant and wax from Autogeek while you're at it.

First, I want to say you'll likely save money if you buy your PC, pads, polishes, etc. seperately. The only thing I ever personally buy in a kit is pads, because with other types of kits you always get stuff you don't want/need.

If you absolutely insist on getting a kit, I've always thought the Poorboy's kit was the most complete . . .

But, I personally prefer Edge pads and this kit comes with velcro backed pads. I have a few other complaints about this particular kit, but they're smaller complaints than I have with other kits.

I agree with MikeyC, get the stuff separately. Honestly, the best deal you'll find is going to Lowe's and buying the Porter Cable 7336. It's basically the same thing as the 7446. It's usually around 109.99. For some reason, I got a $25 gift card to Lowe's when I got mine which was really nice

Buy the Edge kit for 99, and you'll save a lot of money this way.

I personally like the Poorboy's line of polishes a lot. I use the SSR1, SSR2.5, and SSR3. They dust quite a bit but they're usable in the sun which is nice. I also use their EXP synthetic sealant. Stuff goes on and wipes off very easily.

Is this the Edge Kit that you speak of?
http://www.automotivegeek.com/foam-polishing-kit.html

Does it contain all of the necessary pads to complete a polish/wax job on a car like an S2000, or small SUV? Is one of each pad enough for a whole car?
If so, then I could buy this edge kit, a porter cable at Lowe

yes, you would also need the adapter.....

you might want to see if u call them and ask/complain

the Title Bar of the window says the adapter is included (it used to be a special) now you have to pay for it, they just havent updated the title bar.....

Unfortunately, Lowe's doesn't carry the PC anymore. This is why they had the big clearance sale on them. You may still be able to find one lying around your local Lowe's, but not likely. You can still get a decent price on them at many other tool/home improvement stores which will be cheaper than at a detailing store.

See if any local Auto Paint shops carry the Presta line. They are Edge pads (re-labeled). The only adapter they had was for my rotary though. They had all the Presta polishes though, i've never used them but i've heard good things.

Thanks for all of the information so far. As for buying polishes and waxes online, what would you recommend for a sebring silver?

http://www.automotivegeek.com/carnauba-wax.html <--- waxes: I think I might get the Meguiars Gold Class Car Wax Liquid, just because I've used this once before and it worked really well on my preveouse car.

http://www.automotivegeek.com/prewaxpolishes.html <--- Polish: I've never used this before so any recomendations would be greatly appreceated.
