400x will bring Mars up to about the diameter of a pen. You can clearly see the polar cap and some dark surface marking when the air stills. Depending on your apeture you might also need a moon or polarising filter (the latter more expensive) to cut the brightness down so you can see detail on Mars or practically any other planet.
