    I have about 20 oz. of M105 and about 14 oz. of M205 in their respective bottles and a 32 oz. brand new bottle of ONR that I'll sell you for $45 shipped. Let me know if you're interested.

      For the small amounts of 105 & 205...take a look at ADS. They offer both in 12oz ($11) and/or 8oz ($9).

        walletless, just a forewarning dont buy a wool wash mitt from advance auto or autozone. they attract cats and the wool peels off easy. as far as the DA goes, why not go to lowes.com and order a porter cable 7346SP(have it for store pickup) and i think the price is 99.97 for it comes with a vinyl face sanding pad and the factory white polishing pad, i have not had to buy a backing plate because i took the vinyl faced sanding pad put it in a drill and used a razor to trim it down to 5" and just stuck some velcro on it, works great and saved me 20$, the polishing pad i ripped off the foam and used tarminator to remove the adhesive trimmed it down to 3" for 4" pads stuck velcro onto that and i have a BP for smaller pads. just a tip if your good with tools and such. but if not the 7346 is great, have not had any issues at all(minus some factory faults ive found but thats with all the pc's and i dont think PC knows about it nor is it a big deal) and the price is great at 99$ no shipping. has SAME power as the 7424xp all the current(rounded body) 7XXX series DA's are the same power wise the difference in the numbers is the accessories that come with it.so id just buy one new, i look for one for a while and just bought new.

        *the factory fault i found is PC not installing a gasket in the plate that covers/holds in the grease/gear set on the head of the polisher after you remove the plastic head casing. the grease heats up and melts out inside of the polisher casing and the grease really is not constantly on the gears its pushed off to the side, so i made a gasket with some RTV (would have used rubber gasket material if i had some) and added more grease then reassembled the polisher, seems to have less vibration and noise now and the grease wont leak out forming a pool just noticed this fault when i removed the head casing to add some plasti-dip on it for a no slip grip!*

          They attract cats? Really? How?

            thanks opie. I was going to get the grout sponge from Home Depot. A lot of people seem to suggest that the wash medium gets very dirty with ONR, so its better to get cheap grout sponge from HD rather than spend big$ on it. most people suggest that I should rather spend extra money on a better drying towel.

            My local wal-mart has 32oz spray bottles, but they sell it for $3.97 each! Luckily, I found cheap $1 bottles at homedepot.

            ONR is on sale right now at DetailedImage - I am going to order from them. I missed the Autogeek gift certificate deal, otherwise I would have ordered from them. The one on DI is the 2010 version, but I don't think there is that much difference.

            The M105 & M205 bottles on ADS are good, but shipping is too expensive. I will see if I can find a local cheaper alternative (might go with Ultimate Compound & Ultimate polish - available at Autozone & local walmart.. my local walmart does not stock M105 and M205 yet, although there is a thread here which indicates that some walmarts are beginning to carry them)

            Now the only thing I am looking for is the DA Polisher. The 7346SP at Lowes is $125, not $100.. and tax here kinda makes it expensive for my budget. I will keep looking on CL and here to see if I can find a cheaper alternative..

              selectchoice, leave it where a cat can get to it and see what happens........and it was sort of a joke the cat thing as its true.... and walletless just save up and buy new. you get a warranty and wont have no issues..look on ebay also seen em time to time on there. and yes i guess lowes upped the price....ah well with carefull searching you can still find it online for 107$(same price i paid for mine) for one with a warranty just has been reconditioned.....good luck with it....

                Detailed Image also has the smaller, 8 oz bottles of M105/M205 - if you're getting the ONR from them, might be worth adding these to your order.

                  Update: I found everything except DA Polisher. If anyone has a current generation DA Polisher for sale, PM me.
