[s-cars] Polisher Recommendations Sought

[Bruce]

I got the porter cable unit online (www.tools4less.com), and bought Griot's
#3 light polish, "best of show" wax, and one each of their orange polish and
red wax pads. Don't forget to get the proper mounting plate for the polisher
with the correct velcro side to match the Griot's pads.

Doing the car once with polish and then with the wax leaves is nearly swirl
free and as close to perfect as I am willing to invest in my time and
energy.
