Phil is the man I wouldn't consider ordering from anyone else!

what is your budget...$500 will get you a good amount, $200 will not

Well, what would $500 accomplish?

polisher, more pads/towels/better polishes/better wax/coatings/etc

I bought most my polishes from Adams Polishes. I picked up a Porter Cable 6" orbital from Lowe's and haven't looked back.

I'll put together a list of things for you by the end of the night

what is the current condition of the cars you are working on?

Adams polishes are good but for better finish on the car there are better alternatives. Like Phil said, what is the current condition of your cars? How frequently do you wash them? What color are they? How many miles? Make and model? A lot goes into picking pads and polishes so lay it all out! What are you looking for? What do you want your paint to look like?
