Hey guys,
I moved to South Florida recently and am fortunate enough to be right near Autogeek headquarters. I went and checked out DetailFest this year and then this past week went to the Thursday night detailing clinic. I've been doing some reading here and am really happy to have found such a supportive community here as well as having Autogeek and Mike and his crew so close by.
I'm interested in learning to properly detail and maintain my cars and although I'm not looking to turn this into a profession, I am very detail oriented and a bit of a perfectionist. I've cleaned my cars plenty but am new to machine polishing so I have a lot to learn here. I recently picked up a Porter Cable 7424 (not the XP version) from a yard sale and figured I would build off of that. I have nothing else, so I've been reading online and am open to input on a proper hobbyist starter kit to keep things in a reasonable budget but have impressive results.
I own a 03 Subaru WRX that has a full 07 STi swap and I also have a 94 Toyota Supra... I'll post some photos of each below.
Here are a couple pics of when my friends and I were swapping my Subaru:

And a couple others of the Subaru:

And here are a couple photos of the Supra which should hopefully be down here in a month or two:
