I get all my stuff from Elite Car Care http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/

Speak to Alex he is really helpful and will recommend what you need. I bought a load of gear from him and the results have been fantastic, will get some picture up of my car before and after soon.

I use elitecarcare, cleanyourcar, polishedbliss, autobrite and the washshop.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I get my stuff from Juicy Detailing, I pick the items up so can’t comment on delivery but they are quite a bit cheaper than other sites

Keith from washshop that is a member on here. You also get a discount using the forum code. For a first time machine polisher (if you are) I'd recommend a DA (dual action) polisher. A DAS 6 would be good. Keith also sells these. www.washsop.co.uk

I bought mine from Keith at his open day and it's a great piece of kit.

I'm not a first time polisher no. This sounds sh*t but I did a b-tech in valeting cars at collage when I was there. Lol. I'll have a try of him then. Looking for a fell kit so lots of money splashed about. Lol
