Porter Cable 7424XP Polisher
I just received mine today from ProperAutoCare. I can't wait to use it; however, I just applied polish and sealant a couple of weeks ago by hand, so it would be a wait to remove it and re-apply it with the machine. I think the best thing to do is wait till fall to do it all over again. But I don't know. I'm really curious to see how much better it will turn out. Therefore, I'm tempted to use it right away....hehe.
Does anyone have any experience with this polisher? Quote:

^^ Nice....thanks for sharing the tips and experience.
Yeah, getting this polisher seemed like win-win. It safely removes minor to moderate imperfections without it itself causing any harm to the clear coat and paint. |

^^ Oh crap. I hate when stuff like that happens. But I'm sure they both work well and produce the same results. In the video I posted, they used the older model and it appears to be freakin awesome. I'm amazed at how good of a job it does. And best of all, it causes no harm to the paint/cc, and any fool, like myself can use.

I need to get on the ball and order one of these, the PC have a better warranty than the Meguiars one too. I would use it now! Why wait? Practice getting that perfect result in the summer while its nice out.

You got pads and a backing plate for it right? The white pad it comes with is no good.
I just got a 7424xp a few weeks back, so far I've only used it for light polishing and waxing. It's so much quicker and easier to wax with a PC. |

I've been using a crappy $30 random orbit buffer from Pep Boys (Black and Decker). It definitely beats removing wax by hand and does a nice job. My one gripe is that it vibrates the daylights out of my hand which goes numb by the time the job is done. Does the Porter Cable solve that issue with the two hand grip (and probably much better design)?
