    I would have to agree that a basic starter kit would probably be best. I would focus more on the equipment that would include most of the items already referenced to here and also with sample sized product. Get the equipment in the hands of the users and they will buy the product needed to work with it.

    Thanks for asking us Mike

    I was going to buy one from coastal tool today but I am going to hold off now and see what happens.

      I purchased my Porter Cable from Classic Motoring Accessories. I liked the way they packaged their PC, its accessories and then the various product lines. It gave some choices. I think that there should be a basic equipment package that does not include a product. Then have perhaps two or three product packages -- Consumer, Professional and NXT.

      The PC and Accessories should be at or under $200 to make it a special deal.

      Yes, I have a certain "fondness" for CMA. They are most responsible for me becoming an obsessive detailer.

        Well, I just bought mine a month ago. My local guy is running a deal on the DA's for $160, but I think I finally figured out the difference. I got a G100, while the current offering is G100A . The G100 is just the polisher, no backing plate or pad. Anyways I bought the polisher, a cutting, polishing, and finishing pad, a backing plate, and a bottle of DACP. Total with tax was about $230 delivered to my house and with a personal demonstration (damn my local rep is awsome). Aim for this general price area for a similar setup and I think it would be good. Considering I got a full setup for about what Meguiar's asks for the polisher, backing plate and one pad.

        Hmm, now that I realize that a bottle of DACP is almost $20 it just made that deal look even sweeter. Anyways, hats off to Meguiar's for offering a special deal to it's own forum members. It just makes me like them that much better.
        Later,

          Just came from the autopia (sp) web site and they have the same idea. G100a with backing plate, orange, white, and others, on sale 179. Seems like thats a good range to start. I agree with others that parts are the way to go with maybe a few samples. Then people can try and find what they like and buy, buy, buy.
          Just my 2 cents. Worth 2 cents
          Thanks for all the great info.

            I just got a shipment today of cleaner, polisher, and wax so I'm not needing any products. I WOULD like to purchase the following:

            G-100a
            Velcro backing plate
            2 Polishing pads
            2 Wax application pads
            2 Ultimate bonnets

            Maybe this is a good option for those of us who have the products, but need the G-100a to get us going. Thanks for putting this together Mike!

            Keeping the price as low as possible is a big plus for me also. I'm saving for engagement ring for my G/F so I'm really having to watch (limit is more like it) all this "car stuff".

                      So much for the poor college guy. Half of Meguiar's catalog has been listed. Honestly, I would be happy with just a few pads and a major price drop...

                        That's all I'm looking for as well.

                          This is exactly what i was hoping for too. A package in the lower $$ range is best for me.

                                I'm also in college so I can't contribute much. I would love the DA and maybe some good deals on other items, but it would have to be a really good deal. I love the idea of no shipping for smaller orders. I want to buy some Endurance, so that would be great. Also, is there a way to get a smaller cheaper bottle of #40 dressing that everyone loves so much?

                                Thanks
