Wow, I would ask which ones you like the best, but I'm sure it depends on the car you're working on!

Eh.... I don't have an obsession with MF towels, so I've only got about 150 or so of those things.

The spray compound/polish is pretty good. I bought them when it first came out, and the head would always get stuck, so I sold it. Heard they fixed the problem so I bought new ones.

Yeah, certain polishes works better than the others on certain paint, hence the reason why I have a big collection and how I'm able to use them all.

I need to show my wife that my collection pales in comparison to yours.

Maybe she will get me a new building with more storage

As long as I buy her purses, she doesn't give a crap what I buy for myself (Camera lenses, detailing goodies, car mods, lol)

What polish would you recommend for the NBP TL? I've used SIP with decent results.

I've been told 105 and 205 would work great. I don't have a lot of stuff to remove, but I do have some scuffs and scratches I would like to lighten.

What polish and pad combo would you recommend for me?

uh.... you don't really have a choice but to 105 and 205. Polish the entire car with SIP, pinpoint whatever spots that need more than SIP, and do 105 + 205 on that spot ONLY. As far as pads, use LC flat orange pad with 105 and LC black with 205.

Nice collection...it seems you still have some catching up to do to equal the cost of all those purses.
