I just got in my Porter Cable 7242, and Pinnacle Swirl Remover Kit, and I plan on using it this weekend (Sunday). My question is has anybody ever use the PC before??? If so do you mind showing me some pointers.

 

So nobody here ever used one, or something like before??

 

I've used a makita disk sander before, they look almost the same, does that count?

[Don't let me anywhere near your car.]

 

Here are some pointers

I didn't read the whole thing but it might help you.

When you get done you can come by and do my wife's car

 

WOW, look at this pic: (BTW $159.99 w/o shipping for the PC 7424=Too much)
Super dull<-------------------|------------------>Super Bling


Ha, Ha, Mr.Funny guy

 

pics?

 

There's a big difference between a sander and the buffer shown. With this
buffer it's almost impossible to damage the painted surface. Keep one thing
in mind when using the buffer....less is better when applying cleaner or wax!
And, alway follow the body lines....back and forth....take your time.
Good Luck, post pic when you're done!

I'm doing like two panels a day, last sunday was a bad day, NOTHING went as planned (long story) . Tomorrow I should be done.

 

So, you decided to stick it out with the Porter 7424 huh, I need to find pads for the one I got from Dave, Does yours use 6" pads??

 

Sorry for the long wait. This is the only pic I got before my camera died.

(Don't mind the pollen)

 

me next!

 

I got a Griot's Garage orbital buffer a couple weeks ago. I used it on my '99 Miata and I was pleased with the results. I used the Griot's Garage Machine Polish #3 and their Best of Show Wax. Here are a couple pictures.

 

I have a Tennis Elbow2000 Type R

Works great when it is working










BTW Jon, you should come by some time and show me how to work it. My 330i really needs a buff.

 

nice

 

any pic's of the finished job? look good so far!

 

No, the car is dirty now from all the pollen, but you'll see with I pick out those Sways
