You are not going to get a PC and pads and product for $100. Don't waste your money on a cheap buffer. They don't have enough power to polish out defects. Budget for a PC. You can get a PC for around $100. Add a few pads and a quality backing plate and you add another $50-$75. You then need a decent pair of polishes. Something like Meguiar's #83 Dual Action Cleaner/Polish and #80 Speed Glaze. Add anther $25-$30 for the polishes. Lastly you need a sealant. I'd suggest Meguair's #21 Synthetic Sealant or NXT Tech Wax. Add another $20. You need a few quality microfiber towels to buff off the products. Figure another $20. Don't forget you need to clay prior to polishing so get a Smooth Surface Clay Kit for around $18.

You really need a $200-$250 budget.

Maybe you can start with the Deep Crystal Cleaner, Polish and NXT Tech Wax and plan on doing it by hand until you can budget enough to get the polisher and associated products.
