What would you get just starting off??? I like what I've read about Pinnacle.

Can ya give a guy some guidance??

Thanks!!
 
Go for the Edge system.....I don't have it....yet. But I did use the Pinnacle Souveran for the first time today on my black car. It went on like softened butter and came off with ease! Lived up to it's reputation!

You want to go for the edge2k combo kit with the PC. Best one around.
Look at the Pinnacle XMT Kit
and a nice well rounded microfiber kit.


This should give you all the polishing accessories you need. If you have any spare change, look at DP MAXWAX.

Truls, I tried the link but couldn't get the site. What was the product?

L-Z, I was looking at the Edge system but haven't heard much about it. It sounds good, but would like some input from others who have tried/use it. (But that is one of my top choices :) )

The edge system is great. Your pads always center exactly allowing for great power transfer. Not only that but they are double sided, so you get 2 pads on one. The edge pads are without a doubt the best buffing pads made for the porter cable.

Not to mention the AWESOME customer service that comes with them through Edge and Autogeek.
 
Killr, That looks like a great kit. I've heard about Poorboys here on AG. How is it next to the pinnacle products? Does it apply about the same or easier? How are the end results, shine, depth...?
 
ive used both. They are both awesome products. Poorboys is a little less expensive hence the name, but the xmt tends to dust less even in full sun.
 
Hey another question, Does anyone know if the kits qualify for the 20% sale, and I might be pushing it... but it can't hurt to ask... Can I use my first time buyers 10% off at the same time???? :o
 
go to wolfgangcarcare.com They have free shipping over 75$ and are having 20% sale ontop of the sale already going on for the pc's. You can only use one coupon per order
 
I would get the kit with the Optimum polishes. That is some great, easy to use stuff!

The Poorboys kit is easy to use for beginners and professionals alike, and all it is missing is soap. Do I like Pinnacle better, well yes, but you would need the XMT kit and Souveran Sizzling Shine Kit and thats alot of bones considering no PC or pads yet.

Some kits like the Poorboys, as most with PC's will not allow additional discount. Look at the disclaimer on bottom of most pages and coupons themselves. Sorry !
 
Thanks for the input everyone. I hope some more will throw in their two cents worth soon. I'm going to order on Friday morning....

Have A Happy Thanksgiving!!
 
Well like you Ridge, I got the go ahead to pick out my own gift. I've been looking and reading for months and after changing my mind a million times and reviewing competitors products and pricing; I bit the bullet last night and ordered the following:

Porter Cable 7424 & Pad Kit with FREE BONUS

It's going to be bah humbug for me if everything goes 20% off tomorrow.
 
:D Thanks to everyone for the great advise!

After a long weekend I finally made up my mind on part of my Christmas.
Saturday I placed my order for My PC and jumped in on the Edge 2K pad Kit, Meghan pointed out to me that buying the Pad Kit separately would save me $$ with the special that was going on.

THANKS Meghan!

I also picked up the XMT Lt swirl remover. (want to get the #3 too).

Now I'm trying to decide which Car Care Kit to get along with the other items I'll need (MF products,Glass Cleaners,Wheel Cleaner, Tire Dressing ect...)

**Killr: I'm still hard pressed to get that Poorboys kit (minus PC). Your right looks great, But really like the reviews on Pinnacle products.
If I were to go with a Pinnacle Kit/combination of kits,which one/s would you guys choose? I'm thinking about the Souveran Sizzling Shine Kit or the Complete Detailing Wax & Cleaning Kit; Or would some you pick some other line.

I'm not ashamed to ask for more help here!!! :D
You Guys are Great!!

Thanks
