Default Best porter cable kit?

I have swirl marks all over my car from the original owner and little scratches here and there. I might pay for a full detail, but I figure buying a good porter cable kit would be a great long term investment, so I am wondering if anyone knows where to get a good deal on a quality porter cable kit that fits my needs?

Got mine as a kit with a whole bunch of pads and a few different waxes/polishes from TropiCare. They used to be a sponsor on here. I'm not sure if they still are or not.

Get it from Autogeek, and get the bundle with the Menzerna polishes. They work excellent on hard GM clears.

^ I can't seem to find that kit. I was looking at the intermediate swirl remover kit. Should I choose another?

EDIT: found it

Looks like the menzerna kit is perfect. What happens if I do it in sunlight (don't have a useable garage)?
