R3 should be a must for the price you can get them for now. The range and features are great. When you get it tweaked for your area it should serve you well!
I've got to see Bonham. Been watching for a show close by. My son and I just caught Savoy Brown at a club. Kim Simmons still gets it done!

Oh, happy holidays and merry Christmas to all at RDF!
Is that Autoweek? That ad has been in for a long time and you are correct...
.P.S This month is the last print issue of that 61 year old publication. RIP.
Probably a decent deal for the pads and buffer. The chemicals are are always a question of age. No on the cleaner wax, yes on the wash. The rest is debatable.
Unless you are cutting orange peel I wouldn't recommend anything but a DA or dual action unit.
Removing wax before polishing will make your results much better. Polishes are easiest and safest to work with. No heavy cut compounds unless you have to hand work certain panels.
As far as what to...
The R3 is priced quite a bit lower for sure. I think you made a sound choice!

And don't worry, you'll almost certainly have more RD's in the future!;)
