Thought I would give you guys a heads up.

Seems to be a great price, plus you get a lifetime warranty. All you have to do is register, its for "members" only.

You, could also go to CoastalTool.com and get the " Porter Cable Random Orbit Polisher 7424 " w/ Bouns kit" for $119.00. It includes a 6" Contour Backing Pad, a 6" Foam Polishing Pad and a 6" Counterwight needed for the 6" pads. ( Coastal does not sell the pads).
Then go to "Autopia.com" and get the Sonus Dual-Action system foam pads kit for $59.95. It includes numerous pads for different jobs on the finish, all of which can be placed back in the zip-lock bag until you need them again.
I personally use the 6" counterweight with the 6" contour backing pad #54745, provided by "Coastaltool" . It's wider and feels more supportive than the one that comes with the Sonus kit. The Sonus foam pads attach to the Coastal backing pad.
Autopia, also sells the microfiber concourse Finishing Bonnet in a package of two for $7.75., they fit the Coastal foam polishing pad that's provided in the kit perfectly.
I went to Lowes and could not find the 7424. I got it from Coastal in one day. I love it and it works great! IMHO...

wish I had waited, I will say though that i don't care for meguiars backing plate though. I know they will hopefully be comming out w/ a new one soon as even guys over at their headquarters won't use their backing plates.

they hold the pad on tighter and have leave less of a chance of it falling off. I have www.properautocares.com 6" backing plate, I love it, I also like that it's rubber and has a little bit of flexability. The hook and loops are also molded into the plate instead of just glued. I use it w/ 6" LC pads, the only thing I wasn't sure of was that the plate goes tot he very edge of the pad so I went and got a megs one, I've used the megs one once and once only. They are currently working on trying to get it redesigned. I wouldn't rush out and buy something else if you are happy w/ what you have, but if it ever comes around to replacing it you should look for something other then the megs one.
