Porter Cable - Gods gift to auto detailing!
I use the PC and an orange cutting pad for swirls. Both Mothers and Meguiars offer a full step kit, my son had both, he steals my Zaino so I steal his stuff

. The finishing pad I like is either the Gray or White Lake Country Pad. I think they make the orange cutting pad as well. I tried the red pad and didn't like it. By the way if you have any hazy headlight issues the cutting pad and some plastic cleaner followed by your polish of choice and a finishing pad will make them sparkle.
