Does the Porter Cable solve that issue with the two hand grip (and probably much better design)?

I haven't used it yet so I can't answer your question but I can see the vibration/jiggling causing an uncomfortable feeling to your hand(s) after some time. I guess it's a small price to pay for what this machine can do.

it feels exactly like holding a grinder...ur arms get tried after a bit....it still takes time to polish, seal, glaze the car

But it's worth it though, right? I mean, if it starts bothering your hands, go grab a cold one from the fridge. ;)

exactly !! since i got a black G...the results are huge and very visible to see.

PM if you want to use the same products as i used.

take note: if you really really want to make the paint shine swirl free.
get a construction lamp/stand and shine it on the paint...you will see 20x times more swirls then in the sunlight. if you can remove most swirls with that lamp... imagine how jaw dropping it will look out and about !! :0

I don't know if you're refering to the stock or to this one. This is what I got.

Your set with that kit. I was referring to the white pad attached to the PC in your first post, you don't want to use that on your paint if you still had it.
