Which Porter cable kit should I go for?

[BimmerWill]

I'm wanting to purchase a porter cable kit from autogeek and was curious if anyone had recommendations on which one is the best kit to go with. I'm looking to spend right around 200-250. I was thinking the Wolfgang kit but it's a little over my budget but will fork it if you all think it's worth the extra. Heres a link to the Wolfgang kit.
Thanks guys!

I like this kit... well balanced, quality products.

Is our paint ceramic or is that irrelevant?
I want to get a kit that will take out some medium to light scratches and bring back a mirror finish to the car. Obviously I can't expect miracles but the paint is in pretty decent shape to be as old as it is.

Typically those kits throw you with too much stuff you'll never use.

If you just need polishing, then focus on that and make your own "kit"

Here is what I have in my cart that I would recommend:

Porter Cable 7424XP - 119.99
Lake County Hydro-Tech Pads (3 Pack) 5.5inch - 25.99 (All Cyan)
Lake County Hydro-Tech Pads (3 Pack) 5.5inch - 25.99 (All Tangerine)
Meguiars M105 8oz - 10.99
Meguiars M205 8oz - 8.99
DA-Hook and Loop 5" Backing Plate - 17.99

Total: 209.94 before and discounts/promotions...etc

Still gives you room to get a sealant...towels...etc with out excess clutter.

3 pads of each kind is plenty to tackle a car (typically I want 3-4 pads of each color so I can always throw a new pad on, as they start to lose effectiveness as polish gets cluttered on the pad).


Just IMO

Are the pads and M105 going to be able to get a majority of the scratches out? Was also looking at picking up some sealant for the first time.

Is the Griot's garage the same quality as the porter cable?

As good or better is my perception.

I might also direct your attention to the newer ones detailed image sells.... Which I think is what you're asking.

Don't we have a review on these somewhere?
