Horrible... Just yesterday it was 60 degrees out, I washed and waxed my winter driver all by hand and today it barely dipped above freezing and snowed about 4 inches. I went out to get in it to drive to work and there were two big splatterings of bird crap on the windshield to boot. Every time I go out and mess with one of our vehicles I think how much easier it would be with one of these things- I'm hesitant to use my mom's old polisher (which came from either walmart or kmart) just because of the horror stories I've heard of swirl marks and scratches.
Let's say I were to throw caution to the wind, what would be my best bang for the buck here keeping in mind I shouldn't spend more than $150-170 or so, what pads and other little things would I need to be able to do basic maintenance on the paint that I keep up on care with and maybe the occasional hard work on one of our trucks that's scratched to hell from off-road use?
I suspect I'd also need some polishes, all I have now is a bottle of your light polish. 
I also can't help but notice how glaringly well your business does here, you say sale and everyone here goes cross-eyed and starts throwing money at you, you're a horrible person

I would highly recommend going with my Porter Cable package deal. This includes the PC, backing plate, orange light cutting pad, white polishing pad, and a gray finishing pad. For your medium polish I would go with the Optimum Compound, just use this and finish off with the Light Polish you already have.
The good thing about the PC is that you can be a beginner and get excellent results without having to worry about hurting you paint. That is why the PC is so popular, it is almost impossible to damage your paint with it.

Alright, few more questions here. First, what sort of life can I expect from the set of pads that would come with the kit, and second, what sort of shipping charges am I looking at? I'm not really looking to be left with $45 in my account for the rest of the month if it tacks on $20 or more for shipping

That pads will last a long time. I got pads that I wash every week that has lasted over a year. So if you aren't polishing all of the time, they should last you for quite a while.
Shipping for something that size is going to be $19.95. Actually it is going to be more than that going to Wyoming, but I'm going to cover the rest.

Right then, looks like I won't be getting the package with polish. I think I'll have to wait till saturday though to put the order through, just as I was typing this up I got a call and something came up that's going to eat some more money so I'll have to see where I'm at after that. Thanks for the help.
