Power Sidekick

Guys,

I've seen a banner on the AcuraZine website for the Power Sidekick. It's a unit that you can pop various attachments in to. The have a washer, buffer wheel and a hand vacuum. Plus, it has a rechargable battery as well. Has anyone ever used or purchased this. The website is www.powersidekick.com. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks....

I believe this tool was designed for the individual who just wants to keep his car clean and apply some sort of protection from time to time. It's not meant for an enthusiast or one who is anal about his/her cars appearance. Most of the members who frequent here fall into the latter category and probably wouldn't even entertain making a purchase. Also, there's not enough tech info on their site. For example, what kind of bristles are on the brush, the OPM when using the polishing attachment, is there a speed setting, etc. If the appearance of your car is not your thing, go for it. If you feel otherwise, save your money and purchase a real buffer like a UDM/PC.

+1, I could'int word it better if I tried. ,

Crappy tools = crappy results, go with the PC7424, with the right attatchements or an UDM, I was not disapointed.
