Goodies from Autogeek :)
Just felt like sharing what I got from UPS two days ago.

From left to right, starting from the top:
Cobra microfiber towels - Shorter knap compared to my green Sonus Der Wunder polishing towels. Not too bad, but I doubt they will outperform the Concours buffing towel.
Poorboy's SSR2.5 and SSR1 - These were quite heavy together in the bag they were in, I guess that's expected of 32 oz. of polish. SSR2.5 smells like grape, I like!
SSR1 was a bit harder to smell.
Cobra microfiber bonnets - They look like my MicroTex microfiber towels. I'll probably try them once to remove wax.
Pinnacle XMT polishing pad cleaner and conditioner - Not much to say about these two. I like the colors of the fluids though.
Mother's carpet and upholstery brush - Seems like an OTC product. Nothing surprising, since many of their products can be found in retail stores.
Edge 2000 DA adapter - This was a LOT smaller than I thought it would be. That picture on Autogeek of it being engineered is wayyy over-proportioned.
Onto the next set:

Detailer's Pride total interior cleaner - Smells like the Sonus SFX-1 polish. Not too shabby. Kinda prefer the smell of my Blue Magic leather & vinyl cleaner over this.
Detailer's Pride carpet & upholstery cleaner - At first I thought it smelled like lime, then later on it started smelling like cantaloupe, then bananas! It has a fruity smell to it, let's just leave it at that.
Would prefer it over the OTC carpet cleaners scent-wise, and I hope it'll definitely clean better.
Duo Spur - They call it the Duo Spur, yet it has 3 spurs.
I believe this is made by Lake Country, and on their website they say it doesn't clean a pad on an orbital polish as well as on a rotary. I guess we'll have to find out once I use it.
Tampico leather and vinyl scrub brush - What can I say? It's a simple scrub brush made out of tampico bristles. I'll definitely use this with my DP and Blue Magic cleaners as well as Z-9 once I get my hands on some.
And now my main reason for ordering:

The Edge 2000 6" foam pads - I was surprised to see that these pads are actually 2 pieces sandwiching the center plastic in the middle. At first I thought it was 1 full piece surrounding the plastic part but I guess I was wrong. On some pads the shape of one side is a bit different from the other. I tried spinning them on my PC at speeds ranging from 1-5. Can still feel a bit of vibration, but keep in mind that I was holding the PC in the air so the pads weren't spinning on a flat surface. The feeling of the polisher will most likely be different once I actually start polishing. Coupled with the Edge 2000 DA adapter, these things were SO easy to change! No more hassling with my velcro SFX pads just to find out it's impossible to center them now because they warped a little into oval shapes.
Finally, a pic of all my items...

Please give us update on the interior smell from the DP cleaners after a week or so.
I was almost going to buy the DP interior cleaner stuff until I read the comment about the banana odor on the Auto Geek site. I am not interested in making my car smell like a fruit salad.

hmmmm...I always thought pad spurs were only for wool pads. To fluff em up again.
Guess, I'll have to do a little research and look into this.

in the old days, i remember that i used cardboard to uncake pads- but thats really not a very good idea (for the same reason that we dont use paper towels on the paint)...
