Well I am just getting started with machine detailing and trying to get started. I see there is basically LC and Edge pads. I am looking at these kits to start me off, but am open to any opinions on something else to start with. Thanks for any help. The kits seem pretty good. Either http://www.autogeek.net/porter-cable-7424.html or http://www.autogeek.net/foam-polishing-kit.html.

I started with the LC pads but switched to the Edge pads, no going back

Thanks Red for the reply. What do you like about the edge over LC? Or why did you switch?

Edge; second link.. I LOVE my Edge pads. I had velcro before coming to AG, and the ease of aligning them up, and the higher-quality pads make a difference. WOW!

:iagree: Plus you can flip the Edge pads and keep on working and no backing plate to mess with

I love my Edge pads too and this is a great price for everything you get in it. http://www.autogeek.net/foam-polishing-kit.html (http://www.autogeek.net/foam-polishing-kit.html) but I still can't get over what a good deal this kit is. http://www.autogeek.net/pin450.html (http://www.autogeek.net/pin450.html) You only need to get the backing plate and some car wash soap and you're ready.

FloridaNative, that is exactly what I am planning on buying. Plus a few MF towels as well. Thanks for the input ya'll. Edge pads it is.

I use LC pads work fine for me, but i think edge would be better :) and yes that is a great deal...

Should I go with that pinnacle polish kit or go with XMT. I saw those impressive results with the XMT
