I've always been of the mindset that a little extra $$$ is worth the experience and the larger collection of tools.

So it's going to run 200-300, how much of that is the polisher itself, and how much is accessories?
yep - whatever system you decide to choose, go with the recommended pad for that system. systems usually consist of 3 main steps - polishing/cutting, finishing/polishing, wax/sealant application. there might be other steps, but they all fall within those 3.

you'll usually find its a 3 pad combo - 1st pad is a stiff, "cutting" pad. 2nd is more of a "polishing" or "finish" pad. 3rd is a soft pad to apply sealant/wax.
