Bought a Porter Cable
I got the 7336 through the Lowes 20% all power tools for $80. I couldn't pass it by. I got all the products I could ever use, now I need to order some sort of a polishing backing plate and some foam pads. Anything else I need to get crackin with the 7336.
Any suggestions?

Can the Sonüs DAS kit be used with the weight included, or will I need a different one?
Some #83 and my life will be complete.

#83 and #80 and your life is done
I read a lot of different things, but the conclusion i've come down to is there really isn't much of a difference between the weights. Some say you get more vibration w/ one, some say the other. I haven't tried both, but most that have side by side say it doesn't matter.

The PC is the best detailing tool you can buy....now you have to find a combo of product that gives you the results you are looking for. I like Megs #9 followed by Clearkote Vanilla Moose....Topped with Poorboys Natty Wax.....

I hear you, my gameplan is to use some clay, P21s paint cleansing lotion, #80, and then top it off with s100. I've gotten a bunch of other Wolfgang products that I haven't had a chance to use yet.
But since I have to drive my car in winter I have sealed it over twice with Collinite 476. I might add some sort of topper wax soon.
Do i have to register to see ur pics?
No....those pics are off of my sounddomain.com page....

Just got the PC 7336 SP (sander/polisher) for Christmas.
It came with a pad for sanding AND a foam pad for polishing....now I know I need to get some different bonnets and the #83 and #80 is already on its way to compliment my NXT wax.
But my n00b question is: If my PC came with the foam pad for polishing, do I still need a backing plate, or can I just slip my bonnets right over the foam pad? If I do still need a packing plate, why and what does it look like? I have read alot about my PC from Azine and Megs, but I am still confused as to why I would need one with my foam pad.
I have done a search and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for...
All feedback is much appreciated.

i think the existing foam pad that comes with the porter cable is of very bad quality. I have heard the pad rips up and goes flying everywhere. I am going to order some foam pads and a backing plate, once spring comes around.
Until then, I am going to find something to test the existing foams and PC on...maybe the washer and dryer?

i am not sure what the 7336sp is, but I believe I have the regular 7336. I am new to the PC world as well, but I have all the products I will ever need. Just need to wait for the North East to thaw out before using it.
Well, I don't think you can harm your car if you try to use the PC on it. I was told just don't use an aggressive polish or compound and I should be fine.
