another shout for elite or polished bliss. both companies very helpfull and great service. be sure to get a flexible backing plate as well. if just using the roatry go for the 3m pads with the 3m polishes or lake and country ccs. not cheap but then you get what you pay for with pads. trust me i go through tonnes of them. they get used several times per week if you know where i'm coming from

i'd suggest getting one cutting pad, one light cut pad and 2 finishing pads. reason for this is the finishing pads tend to clog quite quickly. get hold of a nice soft tooth brush too. when the pad starts to clog, run the tooth brush over the face of the pad. this will take out the excess polish. one thing to note is less is more when polishing. i'm putting together a few guides for another site. i'll pm them to you if you want. or have a look at www.detailingworld.co.uk for hints and tips such as seasoning the pads - makes a huge difference. hth.
