High $$$ detailing kit?
High $$$ detailing kit? So I have a black camaro that has some pretty good swirl marks in it. I remember the day I bought it, the paint looked amazing. I'd like to restore it as best as I can and keep it lookin good. I did some searching around and I'm pretty set on getting this kit http://www.properautocare.com/reshkit.html
It seems to come with everything I need including the porter cable buffer. Is there anything this kit is missing that I might want to add, or is this kit overkill? I dont mind spendin a saturday to get my car lookin really good again and I'd like to keep it that way. Anyone else have this kit? TIA.

As someone who is currently using Menzerna FMJ, I think you can do better for a sealant. It's a little hard to work with, and I will be switching back to either Blackfire or Zaino when I'm out of FMJ.
If you're looking for a good kit to go with the Porter Cable, I recommend this one:

Along with the flexible backing plate (at the bottom of that page) and a good set of microfiber towels, you have everything you need to polish out just about any swirls.

I also have a black car, and I use the Menzerna IP& FP with the orange sonus pad (for the IP) and the blue sonus pad (for the FP)
For a clay bar I use the blue coral bar (AutoZone $8 on sale), Meguires car wash, and the Menzerna FMJ for a sealer, IMO the kit, while nice, is overkill, especially the price, I got my PC from Lowes (on sale for $99) so I'd get the IP, FP and the FMJ, and some pads, then start shopping around for the rest of the stuff, you can often times get just as good for less if you look around (yeah I'm a cheap SOB)
I'll ***** out another pic of my car so you can see what Menzerna and a pc can do for black

Well I already have some zaino, z2, z5, z6, and the zfx. I'm almost out of the z5, which is the swirl remover polish and I have about 2/3 bottle of the z2 pro polish. I just want to buy the kit as a whole because I'm lazy and dont really feel like shoppin around and getting everything seperately. 
I guess I'll look around and just add to what I have already. Thanks.

If you don't want to shop around, then go ahead and get the kit, there's nothing wrong with getting it all at once, and if you can afford the price, it's got some good products (like I said I'm just a cheap SOB)
hey got this shine from meguiars 3 step and it smell good too
