Now I feel legit-bought a used 7424 !!!

Guys,

I was lucky and went on Craig's List and found a Porter Cable 7424. I gave the guy $90.00 for it. It has been used a couple of times. I've order some buffing pads from Patrick...I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival. I'm looking forward to using it in time for our All Acura Meet in Kansas City this Sunday.

Good for you! I had bought mine last year and the time savings is well worth the investment!

Congrats, you made a good investment! Now you just need the hours to get the technique down.

Absolutely !!! I need to look up the thread of Patrick's (or any other) that shows proper technique and which pads to use on what types of finishes.

I was lucky on two accounts. First, to find one on Craig's List and second, that my girlfriend didn't mind me taking the one she got me before and trade it in on the Porter Cable.

Your in trouble now .. Its Called PC Addiction ... only curable by watching your G/F bend over the fender to wipe the polish off the middle of the hood... Without distractions you end up polishing out every car on the street.

Buddy-it already has! I'm just crazy stupid when it comes to this car. I've got to start taking it easy though. At work, we now have to take Friday's off from Memorial Day thru Labor Day-plus a 10% decrease in pay....yikes!!!
