I would also recomend this kit. I did not know they had this. It comes with optimum compound, optimum polish (another really good polish, IMO), and optimum car wax. The spray car wax is ok, but the Duragloss will be better. Also comes with towels and pads.
If you are looking to get all from one store, then go with this kit. If not, then you would be better off getting things from different stores. You get more pads with the PC kit you linked.

I'm still putting together my shopping list while I've been researching these kits. If I'm doing the math correctly, it seems that the "discount" from
autogeek is not that substantial when you compare how much the kit would cost if you purchased each individual item separately. After they throw in some microfiber and free pads, then you probably save ~$10 or so (not that I don't like the idea of saving $10).
The downside, if you want to call it that, is that you have to stick with the product line in the kit. It seems if you want to try products from different manufacturers, you don't pay much of a penalty if any at all.
Here's the Optimum kit for example:
Kit includes: (Prices are for items if ordered separately)
$129.99 Porter Cable 7424 Dual Action Polisher
$ 16.99 5” Flexible Backing Plate
$ 16.99 32 oz. Optimum Polish
$ 16.99 32 oz. Optimum Compound
$ 15.99 32 oz. Optimum Poli-Seal
$ 10.99 6.5 inch CCS Orange Light Cutting Pad
$ 9.99 6.5 inch CCS White Polishing Pad
$ 9.99 6.5 inch CCS Gray Finishing Pad
$ ? 3 Cobra Microfiber Detailing Towels
$ 227.92 is the total w/out the microfiber
AG's price is $239.99
You get the Wolfgang stuff free
$ 17.98
2 Wolfgang™ Low Profile 5.5” Orange Light Cutting
One more question. Some kits come with the "counterweight" and other do not. Is this weight necessary?
