Porter cable polisher

I would like to buy one after partaking in the demo in Calgary.
I found sone on Ebay that are going for $108US BIN. Is this a good price?
As well I will need some product. I am thinking of buying that locally from Eshine. Your thoughts, comments are welcome

I would go with Eshine, although 108USD is a great deal, you will also need a backing plate and pads. Which will easily stack up another $100. Eshine has a kit that comes with everything you need for just over $200 and they're Canadian and well trusted. I would go with them.

Btw, I don't think your car has the aero package. You do happen to have the best colour though

Three EM posts in a row, woohoo!! Bruce, I agree that going with eShine is a good course and you do need those extras. I think this is what Adam bought: http://www.eshine.ca/porter_cable_74...183.php?cat=27 Gives you the backing plate and a few pads, plus free shipping! Some go on sale in the Marketplace, too (or kijiji?) and are probably lightly-used.

Blain, our cars (Bruce's and mine) do come with a so-called 'aero' package in that they have some underbody stuff that helps airflow. I wish it meant NISMO but alas, it does not!

That infiniti site that broke down the packages had me understand that that was all part of the the sport package? And the actual aero package, was the nismo kit?

Maybe it was named differently in Canada?

I think it was, I've seen that description pretty consistently up here. Lemme tell ya I WISH I had stumbled on a Nismo car when I bought mine.

Bruce, did you order up a PC yet?

Makes me feel better about passing on the one I was on the verge of buying. I hate buying previously modded cars.

So, aero package here is the spoiler and the under body diffusers, and in the states it adds the nismo kit.

Canada gets the ****ty end of the Nissan stick eh?

Haha, how about NONE?!? Your car is in such great shape.

But srsly, have a read through the Detailing section, but I would recommend orange, white and black, or maybe white, black and blue. Good to have two of each, actually, and if I had it to do again I might just order the PC, then go with the 3.5" backing plate and 4" pads. Maybe you can work a deal with Chris to substitute those for the kit price?
