Default Going to the States. What is good to buy

I am going to the States for a week for work soon and wondered what would be best to get while I am there?
Porter cable 7424 or Ultimate Detailing Machine Model 1000?
Backing plates?
Polishing Products?

I can order them now and have them deliverd to work for collection so no issues of having to buy off the shelf.

What do you recommend I get?

Cheers

Gazz.

Hmm, I'd go for the Ultimate Detailing Machine 1000, Sonus DAS pad kit, and a heap of Zymol goodies, for the reasons given above - £164 for Concours in the UK equates to just £82 if you buy it in the US right now - bargain! As for polishes, the new Menzerna line is the best in our opinion, so if you can source RD3.02 and 106FA then grab some too.

$175 on their website. Ouch that is a lot of money for a pot of wax.

Aye, but it's £164 in the UK, so $175 is a bargain given the current exchange rate. And it is a very very good wax...
