Porter Cable orbital buffer

...model 7424....
I used this yesterday for the first time on my old volvo to test and it's great. I wetsanded some blemishes first and then applied a rubbing compound, swirl remover and wax w/ the buffer and it looks like new. I'd really recommend this to anyone who wants to make it a whole lot easier to wax their car.

I just used mine for the first time today with the cheap polishing pad that came with it. It still did a great job, I am gonna get some new pads and it will probably be amazing with them. Definately worth the money.

Zaino - no stinkin' buffer needed! :P Save $150.00 (or go blow it at the nearest strip club).

So far, so good. Quicksilver hides swirls well, I didn't even let the PDI guy near my car when it was delivered, it sleeps inside and gets the full Zaino treatment. Plus, I've turned into the most anal retentative car washer and detailer you've ever seen! (griot's boar hair brush, good MF towels, etc.). Anyway - yes, the PC orbital is great if you need one. I just haven't so far.

Don't worry...you will. The crappy Acura paint will show it's true colors...or swirls....
