Foam polishing pads usually cost about $8.00 a piece for decent grade ones... That price doesn't seem too bad, but you can probably save some money by purchasing it on ebay as FPM stated and then buying the pads separately. Once you purchase the polisher, be sure to use quality polishing products too... they will make all the difference. I can give you some suggestions on products I use or check with golfdude. Good luck!
