IMOP, by far the best buffer on the market. I have had mine for almost a year now. That package must of cost a fortune. Those pads can run $20 a piece.

It was somewhat expensive, but well worth it. I'm starting a side business come Spring. I still have at least another $350 to spend until I have all my supplies.

PureStang: Check out Autogeek.net and autogeekonline.net (forum). The site has a ton of good products and prices. 03mustangGT and I are both members of their forum and it's some GREAT info about detailing.

ever since ive owned my car its seen a porter cable wax at least a minimum of once a month. my paint is smooth as glass and the metallic flakes sparkle like diamonds.

porter cables are well worth it. i use ours at work but we have a different model
