I got mine from Classic Motoring .com. They had a package which had most of what I needed, which was everything. The biggest, and most expensive thing, is finding the compounds that will work. I thought that because my car was relatively new, I could get by with softer pads (orange) and lighter compounds (Meguiars Step 1 paint cleaner), but that was not the case. I ended up having to use yellow pads, 3Ms 39002 Medium Cut compound to get to my scratches and swirls. I also tried Menzerna, Turtle Wax rubbing compound, and even light wet sanding. Keep in mind, I was going after the stuff you can only see at certain angles, in the right kind of light and looking really hard. Having done this once, now it is just a matter of maintenance and washing in carefully. It is truly a labor of love, but well worth it. Since you asked, here is a couple of pics:

The first pic is after finishing up compounding and polishing. The second is 6 mos later. Car is a daily driver but garage kept and never driven in rain. Good Luck!

That pic shows you how I used to use my PC before I had a garage...I ran an extension chord out of my second story apartment, over the rail, and into the parking lot. Had to do what I had to do...

Lowe's for the polisher (7336) and Classic Motoring/Properautocare for the polish and pads as well.
Old pics, but you get the idea.
