They offer some really nice kits, but *I* like to pick and choose from a variety.

If you want to go the carnauba route, you might check out Klasse AIO and Souveran. If you want to go the sealant route, you might look at Klasse AIO and Wolfgang or EX-P.

What types of products (polishes, protectants, etc.) are you looking for?

I have ordered a lot from Autogeek. But the only kit would be the CF kit with KAIO and Pinnacle Souveran. Great products and service.

I ordered the Porter Cable Pinnacle/pad kit and am very happy with the results. If I was going to do it again, though, I would probably order the Porter Cable and Edge pads kit and go with either the Poorboys polishes or the XMT polishes. The Pinnacle glaze, sealant, and wax would be my wax choice. I just finished our black truck with Pinnacle glaze, Wolfgang Sealant, and Pinnacle Souveran liquid wax. It looks truly amazing....Very deep and wet.

If you're really looking for suggestions for you, you'll have to give some more info on what you've got and what you want; color, condition, do you have a polisher of some sort, etc.

Autopia.org is another great forum for info, but be warned. It is the Worldly Hell of Acronym Technobabble, or WHAT? as I call it. They have acronymns for everything, so try to reseach it a little.

Autogeek, Adam's polishes, Zaino and others have good reading materials and how-to articles and videos on their sites. See what products you think you need, then decide on a brand. You may find it easier to simply stick with one brand to begin with, and get a feel for what each product does. This cuts down on your choices and may lesson the confusion and will help insure you use compatible products.

Once you get a handle on what the products do, and how they work, (polishes, glazes, sealants, waxes, etc.) you can start experimenting with different brands/products.

To actually answer your post question, I didn't go with a "kit". I ordered Optimum washes, Clearkote glazes, Pinnacle waxes and Poorboy polishes, dressings and detailers.

Wow, I barely used any acronyms, but WTF do I know
