Best polishing kit? Why DIY when you could use our very own in-club man MIKEY!! :D

But if you absolutely must do it yourself take a gander at PERFECT POLISHING. I find their service better than CETEM (who are probably the best known supplier).

Yup, Mikey is on here, odly enough as 'Mikey'.
He has done quite a bit of polishing for me recently, all of it excellent quality, well priced & a quick turnaround. Even offers a 'while you wait' service........ Good coffee too!

If you're changing the rear end I could be interested in the swinger.
